He really got that. He brings a lot of heart and soul to the movie. Jason Eisener: I'm a kid of the 80s so I loved high concept ideas and when you're a kid growing up in the 80s you were subjected to so many crazy Saturday morning cartoons things like "Teenage Ninja Mutant Turtles," "Ghostbusters," "Transformers" -- those were the first shows that I was watching and they were just filled with high concept ideas.
So the natural transition for someone who loves high concepts is exploitation films because they are so outrageous and have amazing high concept ideas. Plus back in the 70s and 80s, filmmakers were making exploitation films and were trying to compete with big studio movies and they wouldn't have the budget to do big crazy special effects that a studio movie could do so they would use their imagination to come up with cool, crazy, outrageous, insane ideas that could bring an audience to the movie.
And I love that spirit. Jason Eisener: It comes from growing up in the 80s, and watching lots of cartoons. And back then it was so full of color and prime colors to help attract a young audience. I just love that. And also genre films. I love Dario Argento's movies; they are so full of color. And so when it came time to shoot "Hobo" I wanted to create a surreal graffiti colorful world.
And with the effects I'm definitely a fan of outrageous special effects in the sense that it's almost so crazy that it's absolutely unbelievable. You are watching it and someone gets shot and it's almost like a balloon of blood flying at the lens.
Real life is nowhere near that but it's fun and I think people can watch the movie and laugh and have fun with those moments because it's comic book and cartoony.
It's so over the top and even though some of the scenes might be very intense when you see those moments with such outrageous gore effects, it just kind of lightens up the mood and makes you have fun with it a little bit. Would you call your film a satire in the same way George Romero was working in horror and satire? Jason Eisener: When we were writing the script, there were definitely a lot of things that were going on in the world that were spilling into our script, just the idea of people losing their homes and not being able to afford to live in a home and being put on the street.
And also the idea of terrorist acts being used to help control people or even the media helping to control a community. What we were seeing on the news was definitely in our minds and definitely had an influence on the scriptwriting process.
To me it seems like using practicals engages the audience and the actors more. And gives the film a much better feel than if you use CGI.
Jason Eisener: Yeah, I've never seen any gore effects in a film that look real, and every time I see a bad CGI effect it just completely takes me out of the movie and the story and the characters. There's just something off. But when an effect is done practically and even if it looks cheap or cheesy, it's still really fun because you know people worked really hard to do it and there's a heart and soul behind it because it's hard to do those effects.
They never happen on the first take. They always take 45 minutes to reset. It's definitely a struggle to make those effects happen and I think it's kind of special when you see an effect on screen that's done practically.
It's a better feeling knowing that it was done real rather than on a computer because CGI just feels fake and there's no heart and soul behind it. Now there's a moment in "Treevenge" -- and a moment also in "Hobo" -- when young children are not only in danger but also become victimized.
At the "Treevenge" screening I was at there was literally a pause and you could feel the whole audience holding its breath for a second and going, "Is the film really going to cross the line? Or not? But I'm wondering what kinds of responses are you getting from non-horror fans? Jason Eisener: I feel that I don't like putting limitations on myself. I may unsubscribe at any time.

User reviews Review. Top review. Highly entertaining ultra violence. And I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. At just over 80 minutes the action never lets up, it may well prove too much for viewers who cannot stomach much violence, and it is very graphic too.
