Indie horror comedy Unfriending is sharpening its knives and setting the table for one of the most outrageous and brutal cinematic dinner parties in recent memory. Written and directed by Canadian duo Brett M. Butler and Jason G. Butler, this ferociously funny and deeply unsettling film turns the concept of a “life intervention” into an all-out war of wits, morals, and egos, with body count included.
Initially, the premise sounds deceptively simple. Isaac, a socially awkward outsider, believes he’s been invited to a friendly get-together with old acquaintances. But when the wine starts flowing and the toasts begin, the evening takes a turn into something far darker. One by one, the guests reveal that the real reason for the gathering is to convince Isaac that he’s a burden on the world – and that the kindest thing he could do is remove himself from it.

Looking for a cheap laugh?
As the Video on Demand wars heats up, Amazon has started really ramping up their own online offerings. Yes, they still sell DVDs, but now they sell tons of movies that you can watch either on your computer monitor or download to a mobile device.
While, of course, Amazon is banking its VOD business on getting top Hollywood content, lots of smaller distributors are allowing their releases to be available on VOD in addition to selling DVDs on the site as well. Plus, Amazon’s longtime CreateSpace DVD on Demand business is also allowing for VOD, directly giving filmmakers some VOD power after they’ve been locked out of iTunes, Netflix and/or Hulu.
Renting feature length movies on Amazon usually runs about $1.99 to $2.99, so if you’re looking for a quick cheap laugh, these quirky, oddball little movies might satisfy your needs.
