Mock (2012)
(Crystal MacTaggart, Matthew Kern and Max Schuette) |
Oh Mock. What Can I say about the journey this film took. It began as an off handed weekend fun project in 2008 that ended up taking 5 weeks to film (that's longer than some features!). It was complicated by all sorts of outside drama and shelved for years as I lost any interest in sharing it with the world...until this year.
Mock is meant as a knowing spoof of late night cable access grade D-horror schlock,an homage to 1980's VHS. Truly a crap film best viewed late at night with beer, a cheese burger and a couple of friends. " I wanted to make something that was cheesy, terrible really crap. A late night monster movie, the kind I loved as a child, and still do really. I wanted it to be fun and a little sophisticated about how it was finessed. It walks a fine line between spoof and unintentional awfulness, hopefully people find it fun.
Watch at your own risk after the jump.
