Review of Father's Day

Father's Day (I) (2011)
9/10
Tag Line: fuckman is back, all fathers beware
19 November 2011
Warning: Spoilers
The year is 2010 and TAD is missing a Canadian short film and there to step and fill the gap is Astron-6 with a fake trailer for "Fathers Day. The audience howled with laughter and screamed with shock and horror and basically ate up this fake trailer.

Then as the months went by before TAD 2011 came rumors that Astron-6 had gotten together with Troma and made Father's Day into a feature film in the Troma/Grindhouse tradition.

We have the dreaded serial killer "fuckmanicis" on the loose killing random fathers in the most horrible fashion. Father Sullivan knows there is only 1 man who can stop "fuckmanicis", the only man who once had almost killed him Ahab. He sends a young priest to find Ahab and convince to stop the horror once and for all.

This movie is a pure grindhouse treat and I use that word truthfully, this movie works on so many levels due to good acting and effects that fit with the movie. I saw the premier at TAD 2011 and the crowd literally devoured this movie.

Ahab, together with the son of one of "fuckmanicis" victims and the young priest track the serial killer, dodging corrupt cops and a society that doesn't believe "fuckmanicis" exists. The movie goes from a standard serial killer to much more, including some awesome claymation and other special effects.

If you are a lover of Troma movies or Grindhouse movies you will love this movie. Astron-6 has done an amazing job with such a limited budget. Oh yea here's a spoiler alert this movie won people's choice for TAD 2011.
