Do you did watch that awesome Hobo With a Shotgun grindhouse trailer that surfaced a year or two ago? Well, the dude who made it is back with the 16-minute film Treevenge, which... is about Christmas trees getting back at the bastards who chop them down every year. If you don't immediately understand that as awesome, I'm really not sure what else to tell you other than that there's a serious amount of blood in this thing. I promise there's no better way to end your day that watching trees kill people. Thanks to the fine folks of Twitchfilm for alerting me to this arborcidal masterpiece.

I am so psyched to see the finished product. The trailer was the best thing I've seen this century.

I do not want to live in a world without this film. I simply cannot imagine moving on to any other stage of my life at this point--I just want to stay in this moment with this film forever.
I would write more, but it would only be to continually repeat the words "genius," "breath-taking," "life-changing," and "divinely inspired."
This is the New World.

It's like if that one Christmas episode of Doctor Who (with the attacking killer Christmas tree) was much more disturbing...and that's awesome. Someone pay this man.

I'm pretty much lumping everything into two categories from here on in.
Pre-Treevenge and Post-Treevenge.

The first 10 plus minutes out of 15 total were so sappy and boring. The killing was creative and funny but not worthy the build up. I'll stick with Hobo with a Shotgun next time.

I was crying, laughing, and cheering for the trees! It is a masterpiece! Best film of 2009, no doubt about it! :)
And thank God, my family uses a fake tree since 2000 :)

He's going to make a full-length "Hobo with a Shotgun" movie, and it's going to be amazing.

Ummmm, I think no one likes this little movie because of the baby (only one) being killed in the end. And if someone does like it, because of that, he/she is ill. I like it because it blows my mind! I never ever though abuot christmas trees would want bloody revenge for what we do to them. I like it, because it is a unique idea, I have not seen before!
It is ugly, and disturbing in many ways, but it isn't about a baby being killed. And by the way, even Optimus Prime looks more realistic, than that baby! (Opzimus from the comics!)
So here is a question: Did you ever watched a movie where someone got killed? If the answer is yes, and you liked it, than you are as sick as we are, aint ya?

@ MadInHalifax: Dude, you've got some connection problems because we've never come across someone who couldn't play videos off our player anywhere else in the world. Must be a maritimes thing. Dear god I hope we're never US Only Video cause that would suck balls.

I think it's funny that the Hobo with a Shotgun guy made a more entertaining feature about flora getting even with mankind in 15 minutes, than all of M. Night's The Happening in an hour and a half. And this little movie is campy on purpose.

This is the only thing I have ever seen that made me laugh, feel horribly sad, and then horribly disturbed in such a short time. Amazing.
That "kiss" scene has got to be one of the most epic things I've seen this whole year and I have a feeling nothing will top it. EVER.

My friend screened this on his dad's big screen TV at New Years. It had a room full of 20 odd people howling. It is a hoot. Yo Halifax!
