Clamps

By Thomas Burke with 6.3

Here's a brief glimpse into a project of longer length that aims to combine humor and horror to bring to life a tale of blood-thirsty clamps. Yes, you read it right - clamps, and they are out for your blood (and more). The short video ropes in punches and kicks to conjure a world whose fate rests in the hands of a scientist, a police officer and a girl who is the first to encounter these deadly beings in this town.

The narrative does not take itself too seriously as it introduces us to more victims, slowly leading us to the moment of the big reveal - when our trio figures out their most potent weapon against this gory onslaught - water. While the story is absurd and, perhaps because of it, entertaining, the colors and the lighting of the visuals show a want of closer attention.

Overall, however, the trailer keeps you involved until its conclusion, leaving it up to the viewer to decide whether or not our chosen heroes would be up to the role of saving the world. As clamps and humans are pitted against one another, who would truly win this war of survival?
