From Director Andrew Bowser (The Mother of Invention, Jimmy Tupper VS The Goatman of Bowie) comes a comedy short that both pays homage to and satirizes the Zombie genre. In the adventurous tone of 80's favorites like "Monster Squad" and "Weird Science" - "Monster Machine" follows inventor Vincent Dooly and his best friend Terry Futterman as Vincent unveils his latest creation. Will this machine be Vincent's masterpiece? Or will it unleash a dark power that no man can possibly control.
Practical Effects
Glorious gooey zombie makeup that CGI would murder. Respect the craft.
Acting
Bowser commits harder than the budget allows. That's the charm.
Writing
Dan Harmon's zombie cameo has three lines and still steals it.
Director
Andrew Bowser
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bowser shot this between his web series gigs and crowdfunding campaigns. The budget was allegedly 'sandwiches and favors.'
This premiered at Fantastic Fest 2013, where audiences already knew Bowser from his viral 'Onyx the Fortuitous' character — same chaotic energy, different wig.
