io9 points us to writer/director Tim Egan's short film Curve, which puts its unnamed protagonist in one of the cruelest and most dastardly situations I've ever seen. It's a single character horror thriller set on the edge of a dangerous precipice, and it's all about if the protagonist has what it takes to avoid falling to her certain doom. It features an incredible piece of production design, along with a stellar performance from actress Laura Jane Turner.
How about that ending? Do you think she made it? What does this short represent to you?...

Hot on the heels of Rob Savage’s Dawn of the Deaf online audiences are once again treated to a stellar short, completely free of charge! This time terror hails from Australia and takes the guise of Tim Egan’s Curve. The set-up is simple: a sloping surface, a pitch-black abyss, an unknown woman (Laura Jane Turner), clasping on for dear life. Where the hell is she? Who dropped her there, and why? And what on earth is that monstrous screech emanating from deep below? Having screened in virtually every country in the world and having won awards in most of them (most recently, one week ago at the Transylvania International Film Festival), Curve marks the arrival of a new master of horror. I previously raved about...

Time for something uniquely scary. A very suspenseful horror short film titled Curve has debuted online, from writer/director Tim Egan. The short originally premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and won Best Short at Sitges last year, so it already has quite a bit of good buzz. Curve is a very simple concept horror short film about a woman who wakes up clinging to a "smooth, curved surface high above a sentient abyss". Starring Laura Jane Turner as the woman. I like how simple this is, and how it relies on the sound design and visual storytelling to make you feel the fear and intensity. But - what the heck is this place?! See below. Original description from Vimeo: "Clinging to a smooth, curved surface high above a sentient abyss, a girl tries to cover the few feet back to safety without losing purchase and falling to her death.

At first glance you’d be forgiven for thinking The Killage is steaming pile of filmic horse shit, filled with some of the worst acting ever committed to celluloid. That is until you realise instead that the film in fact one of the greatest movie spoofs since the Leslie Nielsen classic, Airplane! I really should have guessed given the pun-tastic title…
Undoubtedly inspired by the outrageous cinematic stylings of Troma, The Killage follows a group of eleven recruits, composed entirely of excruciating social stereotypes, and one dorky camp instructor, who embark on a weekend-long work retreat in the quasi-wilderness of northern south-east Queensland. Of course this being in essence a slasher movie, the retreat doesn’t...

Riffing on the 80s slasher genre is nothing new and when a movie start to get too smart for their own good it can really run off the rails (ie. Detention). The Killage, a new and Very independent Australian slasher parody looks like it might avoid the pitfall of being straight-up annoying by actual being funny and oozing a ton of indie charm.
Synopsis:
A group of eleven recruits, composed entirely of excruciating social stereotypes, and one dorky camp instructor, embark on a weekend-long work retreat in the quasi-wilderness of northern south-east Queensland. Everything goes relatively smoothly, that is to say, lamely, until (you guessed it) one of the group turns out to be a homicidal maniac hell-bent on dispatching the others in a variety of creative ways. Based on the Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel (sic), The Killage is a wacky, fright-filled journey into the darkest recesses of the human intestines. Bring a box of tissues.
