An electric knife can be used to carve more than just turkey, especially when two masked men armed with axes are standing on your doorstep. With another Thanksgiving upon us, we'd like to wish a happy holiday to our Us readers by once again sharing the hilarious, blood-soaked short film Invaders, which is a great reminder to be thankful for the delectable blend of horror and comedy.
Synopsis: "A pair of home invaders consider their potential character choices just prior to their planned invasion."
Written and directed by Jason Kupfer, Invaders stars Jordan-Woods Robinson (The Walking Dead), Ricky Wayne (The Walking Dead), and Larry Bukovey (Bloodline). To learn more about Invaders, visit the short film's official website.

Home invasion and comedy — these two things probably sound genuinely horrible together. After all, there’s nothing remotely funny about psychopaths breaking into someone’s house and doing horrible things to them. However, writer/director Jason Kupfer’s short film Invaders manages to… Continue Reading →

Ah, American Thanksgiving, a time for reflection, expressions of gratitude, and two inept home burglars. Jason Kupfer's short Invaders has played at more than 100 festivals over the past year (including Fantastic Fest, FrightFest, Morbido, and Beyond Fest), and rightly so. It's a slam dunk of a film, a great joke played by two very funny actors (Ricky Wayne and Jordan Woods-Robinson) and directed with great joy, with no holding back on the blood.It's been selected for Eli Roth's Crypt TV and Short of the Week. And now, it's available for your viewing pleasure as well. Happy Turkey Day! (Though you might not want to be eating when you watch it)....

If you're looking to be entertained for the next five minutes, you need to watch this hilarious blood-filled horror comedy called Invaders. The story takes place on Thanksgiving night and it follows two men as they attempt to invade a home and murder a family with axes. Things don't quite turn out the way that they hoped.
The short film was directed by Jason Kupfer, and he and his team did a fantastic job bringing this amusing story to life for us to enjoy. This thing had me busting up with laughter.
Invaders is a dark-comedy/horror spin on home invasion films. It takes place on Thanksgiving night, which is why we're releasing it next week. It's kind of our awkward Thanksgiving gift to the internet.
The short has screened at several film festivals over the years including Fantastic Fest, Slamdance, and FilmQuest. A huge thanks to the director for...

Don’t let the fuzzy ears fool you. A cuddly teddy bear strolls through the mundanity of suburban living until he snaps in the most interesting — and completely disgusting — of ways in the disorienting short film The Sleuth Incident by Jason Kupfer.
Any thorough discussion of The Sleuth Incident will most likely ruin its power for those who haven’t experienced it yet. (So, please be sure to watch before reading on.)
Although visually hyper-realistic, the film unfolds in a dream-like way through its slow pacing, initially monotonous soundtrack and garish color palette. With the cartoonish quality of the super-sharp colors and the long, drawn-out tracking shots of the teddy bear gliding around town, Kupfer does a thorough job of lulling the audience into a hypnotic trance — all the more fully broken when the film switches gears into a maniacally gleeful, and unexpected, bloodbath.

Filmmaker Jason Kupfer, who is a remarkable visual stylist, is about to begin production on his latest short film, M Is for Masks.
Although this short is intended for the director’s competition for the upcoming feature anthology sequel The ABCs of Death 2, knowing Kupfer’s strong knack for visual storytelling, this short will be a great viewing experience whatever the screening context. (We think he’s got a great shot at making it in, too.)
So, why not help support this talented young artist by contributing to his Indiegogo crowdfunding campain for M Is for Masks? He’s offering lots of great rewards and is even promising to refund donations if the film gets selected for The ABCs of Death 2. That’s not something one sees much in funding campaigns.
Kupfer is probably most well-known for his previous short horror film The Sleuth Incident, a stunning and bloody extravaganza...

The Arizona Underground Film Festival wrapped up its 3rd and biggest year ever back on Sept. 25. Over a wild eight days, the fest screened 30 feature films and 50 short films from all over the world, some of them making their world premiere or their U.S. debut. Out of those films, Auff handed out a dozen awards.
Auff gave out awards to both shorts and features in the categories of Best Narrative, Best Horror, Best Documentary. Plus, they gave out awards such as Best Exploitation, Best Experimental, Audience Award, Director’s Choice and more.
Best Experimental went to a film directed nearly 30 years ago that’s just being seen now. That film is Window on Your Present by Cinqué Lee, brother of Spike Lee.
Other big winners are Corey Adams and Alex Craig’s skateboard fantasy Machotaildrop for Best Narrative Feature; Aurelio Voltaire‘s short film Demiurge Emesis for Best Animation...

Tucson and Phoenix: Prepare to be rocked, shocked and defiled. Blasting its way into its third — and biggest — year on Sept. 18-25, the Arizona Underground Film Festival is a cacophonous concoction of angry transsexuals, bumbling hit men, slacker superheroes, living dolls, aliens, dead hookers, adventure-seeking blondes and other crazies.
This year the fest is screening 30 feature films, some of which are making their U.S. and even world debuts. The opening night film is the U.S. premiere of the German hit man comedy Snowman’s Land, directed by Tomasz Thomson,while closing the fest is the controversial and violent A Serbian Film by Srdjan Spasojevic, which you have to be over-18 to get into.
Don’t worry, there’s plenty of homebrewed films as well, such as Dead Hooker in a Trunk by Jen Soska & Sylvia Soska; Nude Nuns With Big Guns by Joseph Guzman; 1,001 Ways to Enjoy the...
