Midnight Mania: FREAKY
The stuff that dreams, nightmares and late night TV are made of. Weird, "please explain this to me?" head-scratchers, along with sicko heroes who sing, shoot and stab their way into our hearts and minds.
| The Little Dragon (Le Petit Dragon) |
| Trapped in a box for 35 years, a Bruce Lee action figure busts out of his pristine packaging to take on the outside world: an adult fanboy's grungy bedroom. After years of sitting idle, he's brittle and out of shape, but the spirit of the dragon lives on. |
| |
| Still Birds (Alle Fugler) |
| In this apocalyptic nightmare, the only remaining humans are children who have lost the ability to use language. A tyke donning a robe of plush toys holds power, and control is maintained using blasts of earsplitting noise. |
| |
| Clean Carousel |
| A dedicated man works tirelessly to provide a spic-and-span environment for children to enjoy his carousel, but the forces of nature and human digestion are working against him. Thankfully, there's a quick and dirty solution at hand. |
| |
| To Kill A Bumblebee (Laharog Devora) |
| Canaan kills a bee. It's not the last thing he will kill today. A laugh out loud shocker that shows just how awful things get when a bad decision spirals out of control. |
| |
| The Tail Gunner |
| What do kittens dream about? Not what you think! A disturbing anime puff piece. |
| |
| Beauty Plus Pity |
| This part-doc, part-animated apologia considers the potential for good in evil. This sing-along call to arms indicts hunters, a forgetful God, and the families that f**k us up. |
| |
| Prince of Milk (Gyunyu Ohji) |
| Makoto kills himself after being sexually humiliated by a pack of school girls. His grudge gives rise to a serial killer who makes quick and messy work of those girls. An unpredictable song and dance about therapy, revenge, and body fluids. |
| |
| Yellow Belly End |
| A man in a canary suit sits atop a cliff, meticulously counting the steady line of suicides. Like lemmings, they drop off the edge, and like a machine, he dispassionately tallies them up, like stitches. A mesmerizing animated brain-teaser. |
