Why Watch? Because you should think twice before buying that Christmas tree. From the director of Hobo With a Shotgun comes this classic tale of tree-xploitation, shot in pristine 70s style. It’s a bloody affair with some beautiful practical effects and over-the-top everything. We cut them down, we humiliate them with decorations, and now it’s their turn to shove tinsel up our ass. Fair warning: as with any movie where foliage commits wanton acts of violence, there’s a healthy amount of curse words. Also, be on the look out Wednesday for my interview with Treevenge and Hobo With a Shotgun director Jason Eisener on the newest edition of Reject Radio. What Will It Cost? Just 14 minutes of your time. Check out Treevenge for yourself:

One of our favorite little short films from this year’s festival circuit, the bloody, branchy thriller known as Treevenge, has finally arrived online.

Of all the movies that play every year at the Sundance Film Festival, it is the shorts that really don’t get enough love. Thankfully, the ‘dance programmers put some of the better shorts in front of certain movies. This brilliant little short, Treevenge, played to the raucous crowds that lined up to see midnight screenings of the Nazi Zombie flick Dead Snow.
