Wrath of the Foreign Invaders

Foreign Shorts Program

(Various countries, NR, 2013)

We’ve collected seven of the best short films from around the world into one spectacular program. A Joke of Too Much is a hilarious parody of Italian grindhouse trailers including the dementedly-groovy Space Worms.  (Italy)  A man driving along a lonely patch of highway comes face-to-face with an evil apparition known as The White Lady.  (Switzerland)  While not paying attention to the road, a bickering father and son accidentally run-over Bigfoot.  What to do with the wounded creature?  Why not take him home as a pet in the hilarious We Will Call Him Bobby. (Spain) In the Spanish Civil War, a group of survivors escape from strange shadows at Refugio 115.  (Spain)  Jenny wants a baby and she will go to any lengths to get one in She's Having a Baby.  (Australia) Ben's dreams often mix with his surroundings. While venturing through his demented past, things slowly become clearer to him, but is drowning in his own thoughts enough to help Ben let go of The Plan?  (Israel)  A young boy's eighth birthday party is the subject of a wickedly inspired horror tale in Ocho.  (Spain)
