    Great! Wellington resident here - always good to hear that visitors enjoy coming here!
    This short film very much reminded me of the Pythons' "Black Knight" and Jackson's "Bad Taste" - still one of my favourite movies!
    I should say that I **can't stand** "normal" horror movies but "splatterfest" movies like "Bad Taste" are hilarious! The gore is *so* over-the-top that it's funny rather than scary.
    "Oh all right - we'll call it a draw....... " :)
