Check Out This Short Film The Growth
One of the cool things about advances in camera and editing equipment technology (and the reduction in their cost) is that we see a lot more good short films now than we did in years past. I’d guess the ratio of shit-to-gold is probably still skewed toward shit in a major way, but at least when something good comes along now, it looks professional.
Dread Central shared this new eight-minute film entitled The Growth earlier today. It stars Dean Cameron (who you may remember as Chainsaw from Summer School) who has a bad date that leads to…well, just watch it and see for yourself. Directed by Ezekiel Zabrowski and Frank Ippolito, The Growth is a fun way to waste a few minutes. Plus the practical special effects are a lot of fun in a cheesy low-budget way.
Peep the flick below and let me know what you think in the comments section. Oh yeah, stick around until after the end credits.

Not bad, except I hope film-makers will one day wake up to the fact that nobody owns answering machines any more. I know it’s an easy expository short-cut, but come on.

Good stuf!
Just 2 things:
- the guys reaction when his arm is hanging of his side and he takes his shirt of and sees the mold? Wrong… his reaction makes it look like this has happend to him to many times before and he knowes exactly what’s going on and he’s realy pissed about it…
- when the guy storms in and says; “I need to take you to the hospital”. Weird. How does he know the guy needs emediate medical care…?
Otherwise,
excelent!
