Been wondering when someone would come up with a new “rubber puppet monster” horror-comedy franchise along the lines of those classics from the 1980s, Critters<\/em> and Gremlins<\/em>? Well, this might be it.<\/p>\n

What’s the monster in the box like? We don’t know, but the dry humour on display here bodes well for the film.<\/p>\n

The director commented to the Backbrain: “It’s a feature length film. We have about 85% in the can and looking to finish the final scenes in March sometime.” So what’s it like? “Well, it’s more of a satirical comedy than a real creature kind of movie — a sort of homage to the rubber puppet monster films of the ’80s.”<\/p>\n

Feeding Frenzy<\/em>‘s tagline is “The shit just got real!” — which Avery has declared to be “the tagline of the year”. Maybe we’ll make a contest out of it. I’ll collect taglines during 2010 and readers of Undead Backbrain can vote in December….<\/p>\n

Watch this space for more information (and images from the film) soon.<\/p>\n
