An anthropology professor is kicked out of his University just as he is claiming to be on the threshold of an apocalyptic discovery. While on suspension he becomes a pond-keeper and gets closer to his revelation. Something is also keeping a close eye on him
What initially drew me to The Pond was a couple of the promotional images. So it should come as no surprise to me that the best thing about The Pond is the imagery it creates. It has creepy, strange and sometimes unnerving imagery in the bucket load. Sometimes coming in the form of masked characters but with no two feeling too similar. It might be two sisters wearing paper bags with faces drawn on them or a man who holds a type of shovel in front of...

If he wakes up, we will cease to exist. The Pond The film is now available to stream from Vudu, Amazon, iTunes, and Google. A day after watching Petar Pasic's debut feature-length film, The Pond, I'm still mulling over its implications. It has burrowed its way into the back of my mind much as similar understated and unsettling films often have. The Pond is in many ways a mix of The Wicker Man and Jacob's Ladder, billed as a folk-horror film, with something sinister simmering below the surface. The plot is fairly straightforward but never spelled out. A disgraced (unnamed) professor coping with the death of his wife, from which he has not yet recovered, relocates to a cabin in the Balkins to continue his...

When we ran the first images from Serbian director Petar Pasic's upcoming live action / animation fusion Of Bugs And Heroes our general feeling was that if he could make his six legged stars look as good in motion as they do when still then he could have something very special on his hands.And they do. Oh, yes. They very definitely do.A sort of dark love story following both the inhabitants of an apartment complex and the bugs who live in their walls this is a bit of a slippery one, refusing to ever quite go where you expect and looking all the better for that. The blending of the two worlds looks very strong as does the surprisingly dark turn that the human...

Serbian film has made a major impact on the world scene in recent years, in no small part due to a string of gritty indie satires laced with extreme content. But Serbian based production house Doktor Fried is likely going to raise eyebrows around the world with their upcoming Bugs And Heroes for an entirely different reason.Directed by Petar Pasic the film tells two parallel stories, one revolving around live actors in the 'real' world and the other revolving around CG animated bugs animated over hand crafted miniature sets. While there is no trailer or official synopsis yet, Doktor Fried have released a trio of stills revealing their six legged creations and they are very impressive indeed. Check the gallery below....
