A group of film-makers travel to a South American cemetery—where legend has it the dead never really died—in order to shoot a horror film. While filming, they are attacked by demonic bananas that proceed to kill all but one crew-member, who escapes, returning home to Europe unaware that an evil banana skin has stowed away in his pocket.Paying tribute to scary classics such as The Evil Dead, A Nightmare On Elm Street and Jaws, this very silly comedy/horror short ladles on the splatter, with severed limbs and spurting wounds aplenty. It's extremely daft and occasionally in very bad taste (dubious highlight: the sight of a banana disappearing up one victim's butt), and will appeal to anyone who appreciates cinema of the absurd.By the end of the film, a banana apocalypse is in full flow, victims all over the world falling to the ferocious yellow fruit in a welter of bright red gore. That level of craziness can only be admired.

I thought I could watch anything for 17 minutes. I was wrong. I stopped when I was three minutes in, then later on I tried to see how much longer I could force myself to watch it. I lasted through 13 minutes, but then I couldn't finish the other four minutes.I love bad horror movies. I don't know what this is supposed to be. Was it made by a high school student? Why was this made? And who was this supposed to appeal to? I often say I have the sense of humor of a 13-year-old boy, but none of this a-peeled to me. (See what I did there?) This short is even worse than that failed attempt at humor. I don't think I can find the words to convince you not to waste your time.

I never did trust bananas... Wow. Now this was just the weirdest! It's all about the awakening of some kind of ancient demonic curse that turns all bananas and banana-related foodstuffs throughout the world into bloodthirsty little monsters!!! It's about a killer banana apocalypse yo! What kind of warped minds would ever care to dream up such a thing!? It's a gleefully stupid idea that is done in the near-cheapest way possible, but damn if they don't manage to make it work in just the right way! It's all so freaking exaggerated and nuts, but it's done with such an energy and enthusiasm to it that I couldn't help but get a little buzz off it and get carried away with the madcap atmosphere and fun spirit of it. This is exactly the kind of low-budget schlocky comic horror that can only ever really work in the short film format, I reckon. I mean it can be done, but this level of tongue-in-cheek B-movie trashy fun is extremely hard to maintain in a full-length feature. It's a little slow and boring at first, but soon picks up once the bananas start attacking! It's even funnier because let's face it, they do kinda look like cocks! I love all the well detailed over-the-top cartoon gore effects that reminded me of what you'd get in the better efforts from Troma Studios. It's so completely ridiculous, I mean how would bananas even be physically capable of inflicting all those gruesome injuries on the people? They don't have any sharp teeth, or even any serious edges to speak of and - oh god, I can't believe I'm delving into such an absurd subject! It's something that I seriously thought would never come up.. The absolute most hilarious part for me is the outrageous scene where a very excited nerdy guy is using a dirty chatroom and the girl he's watching gets offed by a banana and he stands up in shock and exposes himself, and then the camera switches to a banana's point of view as from far away it hysterically homes in on his rear end!!! The shot is so gross and just has to be seen to be believed! Another added element that I really enjoyed about this were the references to numerous classic horror movies, like Alien, Cannibal Holocaust, King Kong, Terminator, a variation of the theme music from either Cape Fear or Halloween, I wasn't sure, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Jaws, The Thing, Evil Dead, and I know it's not a horror movie, but they definitely aped the famous scene from the Indiana Jones movie where the Arc of the Covenent melts the Nazi's faces. That part was awesome! I loved this short it was fast, funny and entertaining. And, it is actually even more crazier than it sounds! Very appealing..

If you haven't yet seen Papa Wrestling, I urge you to do so. The superior short made before this, is hilarious as can be. But maybe it set the bar high and some people were disappointed (I can't say for sure). One thing that is for sure, as the previous short movie, this one again isn't for the faint-hearted or those who can't stomach a bit of violence (even when packed with humour).If you were "lucky" enough to watch the Frightfest screening of this movie summer 2011, then you also got a Banana or too. Though you might wanna back off Bananas for awhile, after watching this. Still this is a funny short, that is worth your while. I wonder if they stay with shorts or come up with a feature length movie. They'd have to build a story around the crazy stuff that goes on ... We'll see.
