Pulp Modern die laughing is (in case you haven't guessed) a comedy anthology of five stories told by five writers and directors. The story is connected by seasoned radio DJ mister Cee (Alexander Cicak)
A nameless female protagonist does battle with a malevolent Friday the 13th Jason entity using every kind of conceivable weapon and comedic one liner she can think of- a vane selfish young man mistakenly buys a mirror which serves as a portal to hell. A disgruntled university professor and crime author finds his insecurities manifesting in murderous rage. A talking bird sets off an irreversible chain of murderous events a and adulterer finds himself at the receiving end of his wife's vengeance.
Theres no good guys in this anthology. Just a bunch of self centred morally compromised people from all walks of life in over their heads.
With a premise like Pulp Modern with so many directors there was a lot that could go wrong but it remains consistent from beginning to end with all aspects- the stories-the performances-the cinematography and the editing.
The film proudly wears its Troma entertainment style B movie influences on its sleeve It walks a fine line between horror and humour and you can tell the crew had a great time making it as it shines on the screen.
I've watched many indie films in the last year and Pulp Modern is by far the most well polished!
