Sex Machine (2005)
Directed by Christopher Sharpe
A re-imagining of Frankenstein with modern-day sensibilities, that’s what Sex Machine sounds like it’s trying to be. A man named Frank (good start) wakes up to find his head wrapped in bandages, one arm sporting a tattoo that says "sex machine" and the other arm completely black. He can’t remember why any of this happened so he tries to get help from his girlfriend, whom he thought was dead. Deadly assassins working for a mad scientist with a vendetta against Frank start to make his life even more miserable as he tries to stay alive long enough to figure out just what the hell happened to him.
The Toybox (2005)
Directed by Paolo Sedazzari
Growing up, young Brian was so dependent on his sister Berenice that he had no idea how he would live without her were she to ever leave. Now it’s years later and Berenice shows up home again with her new boyfriend, leading Brian to thoughts of revenge and betrayal. Meanwhile, as the family tries to enjoy themselves for Christmas, a character resembling the mythical Jake the Mid-Folker is closing in on the house, though I honestly have no idea if that’s a good or bad thing. The Mid-Folker isn’t really the most terrifying of names, is it?
