Tweekums This German short film is hilarious even if you don't speak the language. It starts off like a cheap corporate film about workplace safety. We see Klaus driving his forklift truck around a large warehouse. Things start to go wrong when he uses it to help a colleague reach a package by lifting him on a pallet... the poor chap falls off but we see no gore just here the alarm bell ring and an ambulance arrive.The next accident occurs when Klaus forgets to take a box cutter off a package when he lifts it... just as another colleague removes his safety helmet; this time we see the results as the chap ends up with it stuck in his head. Things get much more gory from here on as people are cut in half, decapitated, have arms cut off and are impaled on the forks while holding a working chainsaw.

korefuji As a huge fan of short films, I only recently had the opportunity to see this on Channel4 (a UK channel that shows programmes that other channels don't think are commercial enough) - the beginning was intriguing as I was about to change channels, but then became curious to watch what looked like a work safety parody.Gory though it is, it's the unfortunate situations that continue to make you laugh till the very end.If you're a fan of Peter Jackson's Bad Taste and Braindead, you'll feel at home. Those that have 10 minutes to spare should spend it watching this. Highly recommended.

bob the moo A safety instruction video for forklift drivers follows young Klaus as he begins his first day on the job as a qualified forklift truck driver. The film highlights hazards and areas where accidents can easily occur in order to train others.This short starts really well, taking the sort of straight laced, voice over heavy safety training video we've all seen and stretching it to the extreme. At the start it's amusing. However the accidents start to get more extreme and also a lot more gory as the short goes on. Eventually it turns into a gore fest which is still funny but not as funny as it was at the start.The reason for this is that the gore is pretty unpleasant and also pretty cheap. The film felt like it was becoming about the effects rather than the humour. As a gore short it worked OK and if you like things like Bad Taste etc then this'll be a walk in the park for you!However for me the gore just became the focus and everything else that had potential at the start of the film just basically was pushed to the back for a violent, unpleasant and unfunny final five minutes.Like I said – an acquired taste but maybe worth a watch if that's your humour. I felt it dumped it's humour in order to show off just how gory it could be on a small budget.

doco A definite must-see, even if you cannot understand the German language, this film will knock you out of your shoes. From the gory details to the sonore oh-so-well-known voice of Egon Hoegen, everything falls in place just perfectly. An all-time favourite among me and my friends, and a nice bring-in to every party. 10 out of 10.
