Blood Machines

I remember first coming across Seth Ickerman’s “Turbo Killer” a while back and being totally blown away. This grindhouse-style music video is for the French synthwave artist Carpenter Brut, whose tracks are a mix of heavy metal horror and 80’s-style synths, and it is absolutely beautiful. Seth Ickerman is actually a pseudonym for the filmmaker duo Raphaël Hernandez and Savitri Joly Gonfard. So I was a bit disappointed that I completely missed their Kickstarter campaign to create a feature(ish)-length film based in the Turbo Killer universe. That film, Blood Machines, looks to be near completion, and just dropped a new trailer. Holy eyegasm. These guys know how to paint the cinematic canvas. I will gladly give these French madmen my money if they ever decide to go the crowdfunding route again.
