Has cigarettes, doesn't carry a lighter.
Symbiotes hate fire.
Subtle things like that are the cherry on this masterpiece.

I remember hearing that this short got Joe Lynch considered for the actual Venom movie. It's a shame he didn't get it, I think he understands Eddie better than Rueben Fleischer did.
CORRECTION. JOE LYNCH UNDERSTANDS EDDIE BETTER THAN SONY/AVI ARAD. Sorry I had to go ALL Caps as I legit DESPISE Avi Arad
You said it all.
Cmon you can tell all the problems with the movie are clearly Sony’s doing
Better than Tom Hardy.
@ 14:05 The date "12/5/88" was the release of Amazing Spider-Man issue #300. This was the first time Spidey and Venom fought.
The ‘lady friend’ of a ‘colleague’ he has to go see after he leaves the bar was likely Mj or Black Cat as Venom terrorized both of them before he went head to head with SpiderMan
Really? What comic can I find those interactions?
@@Spacemanfilms2002 AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #299 (literally his first appearance) and #316 (his first reappearance after his initial battle with spidey)
I love the way Eddie Brock rocks out to his 80's tunes, got the character down
As a former Marvel Editorial staff, I find this a very interesting take on the Venom. I like the fact that Eddie is portrayed as a psychopath rambling about his distorted version of "truth and justice". But Venom was a character who would've actively save the man in the alley by either mutilating or killing the muggers. His brutal actions would terrify the victim far more than the muggers. And this is what make him a villain instead of a dark hero. That's the 1 aspect I would've liked to see.
How do you get an "illustrator" job at Marvel? Any advice?
@@shepherdofthewest4216 I lived in NY back then and got into Marvel through a high school internship. It's always good to live near a company that you would like to work for, because when the opportunity become available, it's easier to go in to apply and get an interview. But nowadays, everyone uses LinkedIn to search and apply and conduct interviews. It is all online, so you'll just have to check consistently to see if something within your interest and ability comes up if you want to work In-staff. But if you want to be a freelance artist that draws comics, the I recommend going to comic conventions and show your art to editors - talk to them, ask if this is the type of style and material they look for, because they are the ones who hire writers and artists for a book.
In the 17 minutes of this short film, Ryan Kwanten was a better Eddie Brock than Topher Grace was in the entirety of Spider-Man 3. Well done to everyone involved with this film!
He's certainly far better written and much more compelling than Tom Hardy's piss poor portrayal.
you think eddie brock was in 17 minutes of spiderman 3? lol
@@SNNetwork No, if you read the comment I said Eddie Brock was better in this 17-minute short than in the entire runtime of Spider-Man 3. This is 17 minutes long.
Stop being negative about Topher grace. He tried everything he could.
i agree and it helps that the bar was set low but way to kick em when their down and out though >..
I love the scene where he turns into venom. It was almost kinda unsettling too. Now this is how Eddie Brock/venom should be like. And I love the hat tip to spiderman.
The motorcycle helmet was obvious in one part of that lol
+sp4rtan148 lol it was not a helmet by the way ;)
JC Tremblay Oh, it looked very much like a motorcycle helmet lol
Yeah it did, but they also didn't have that great of a budget, so for what they had to work with all the symbiotic effects worked.
Controversial opinion I'm sure, but out of the whole "Bootleg Universe", this is my favorite short film.
This is the most interesting interpretation of Eddie Brock I've ever seen. How did Sam Raimi, of all people, make him so boring? The symbiote is basically a demon from space and some one famous for the horror genre should be able to utilize that.
Sam Raimi didn't want to do a movie on venom so he just halfassed the story
The Venom, Carnage, Toxin, etc symbiotes are not in fact demons. They are an alien race known as the "Klyntar".
Huva-snak3 Not true. Venom was shoehorned into the third movie because of studio interference so the character and the movie suffered for it. Had Sam Raimi been able to place him in the fourth film, he could have dedicated more time to exploring the character.
RikkiReptar
I think being merged with a "Klyntar" sounds similar to demonic possession even if the stories don't evoke the super-natural. The symbiote has interests counter to your own and attempts to make you do horrible things that you ordinarily wouldn't do. It's not exactly the same, but either one can turn a good person into a monster.
1337rofflecopters It's not a "merge" a merge is when one thing becomes something else. It's symbiosis, which means it works in harmony with you. Tho some of the Klyntar, namely the first generations of that species were good, some were corrupted. It may make you do bad things, but a Klyntar also feed off the hosts desires as well. I'd also like to add the fat that Venom wasn't a "monster" hence the fact he was never a villain. He was an anti-hero. Venom and Eddie Brock both just hated Spider-Man. Venom actually protected the innocent in his first many years and later on Eddie settles his differences with Spider-Man even with the Venom attached to him. In recent history the Venom symbiote was trapped and tamed by the Avengers, who then gave it to Flash Thompson to give him another chance at fighting for his country since his legs were blown off in Afghanistan. Venom is part of the "Secret Avengers" crew and is also doing missions with the Guardians of the Galaxy. Flash is also in full control tho it has a tendency to lash out on certain occasions when provoked... nothing is any bit of demonic about the Klyntar.
I love how it's both set in the crime wave of the 80's, and the insane self love of Venom. This needs to be either a length feature or at least just more of it, period.
Now the group not noticing Eddie Casually pressing almost 140 Kg casually is icing on the cake because it's in lbs.
You really captured the scumbag personality of Brock. I liked it! More artsy than the punisher one for sure.
Not like de the decafafinate versión of tom Hardy... Good sector with they give it
@@raipe125 Tom was good as Anti Hero Venom/Brock
For a more villainous Brock or Venom this guy is perfect
The way eddie brock acts in this kinda reminds of john constantine.
He even kinda looks like him
This is the single greatest interpretation of Venom I've ever seen, Ryan Kwanten is the perfect choice to play him, Eddie Brock deserves a GOOD live action adaptation, and you, sir, have provided one. From a die-hard Venom fan, thank you.
RNS Entertainment hey rns you are this is awesome this is how Sam rami should have done it this rocks
RNS Entertainment hey rns you are this is awesome this is how Sam rami should have done it this rocks
What about Tom Hardy?
Surprising to see you here RNS.
@@aidankescko7708 should use bruce campbell... WAcky
Other than Eddie smoking, this was perfect. Eddie is from California, but the accent works really well. I like the interpretation of him vomiting up the symbiote, even though it is his clothes. Adds a nice disturbing feel to an already unhinged character. This is the Venom film we need and deserve. Kudos also for all the references to what was going on in the comics at that time.
The smoking kinda works since Eddie gets diagnosed with cancer.
@@slacko7500 Also he has a Symbiote that negates any damage he does to his own health, so I don't see the problem with him smoking.
Yeah, but he doesn't carry a lighter.
@@Dark92Enigmathat's because the symbiont don't like fire
@@hanzokirishima432 Exactly, that's the point.
This feels like Nightcrawler with superpowers; never have I needed something so much without even realizing it
All believable, I don't doubt any of this for a second. This is seriously how it's done...if the people at Marvel don't come knocking then they're nuts.
Yeah well.. THEY ARE NUTS... i saw the venom movie starring tom fucking hardy and it was CRAP!!.. Eddie brock was a nice guy in the amz. spidey comics and had an awesome story.... the studio forced raimi to include a really really bad underdeveloped venom and we got that clusterfuck of a movie called spiderman 3 and now we get a venom origin movie with NO spidey!! i mean WTF??!! All we fans want is one, just ONE genuine adaptation of our fav. (at least my fav anyways) character but do the studios listen??! NO!!
Love that Sin-Eater reference.
This is such a freakin perfect interpretation of Eddie Brock! Best part when they stumble into bullseye staring in a snuff film filmed by Adi lol. The actor played the wannabe journalist that's purely psychotic and homicidal to perfection. I want to see what this guy would do with Carnage
I definitely see them making carnage a mansion/hippie due to the 90s spiderman show but like darker
@@SadikiStGeorgeangemon44late but yeah I could see them doing that making Carnage even worse than Eddie
I am so glad I ripped this before the ending was butchered. If you wanna know why the audio cuts out it's because Eddie Brock tunes in the Glen Frey song You Belong to the City. I found this to be the most powerful moment in the film.
Yeah, I had to go to another site to watch it without the audio cutting out.
Man.....this is what I was hoping for Sony's Venom film.
The interpretation here is quite intriguing and mysterious that it's sending chills down my spine.
Yeah, he was sometimes was comedic and cracking jokes in the comics but.....the idea of an alien goo from space is supposed to be creepy and this short film delivers that, especially at the end.
The one commenter who suggested a David Lynch directed Venom movie was right on the money. I'm not a big fan of his work, but he could easily recreate the sort of vibe this fan-made movie had going on, except it would be for an entire feature film.
People would still be bitching for considering it "boring" and out of character. Fuck what the fans want, they don't know a shit
This was great. After reading the "Venom: Dark Origin" mini series, the portrayal of Eddie Brock being an amoral "journalist" really works here. I honestly wasn't too fond of the Venom suit (still better than the Hollywood rendition) but, whatever. The Bullseye cameo at the end was just icing on the cake. Keep it up.
I hope he makes more stuff
Okay. We are ready for more of _THIS_ Venom now. RIGHT NOWWWW!!!!
PleaseAndThankYou
No.
"the audio has been muted because lol content ID" fuck youtube
Agreed.
+Kevin B. wow this is such a good short film, fuck those fucking youtube copyright claims! How the fuck was this hurting anyone? Fucking hollywood!
I dont get why they muted it. I thought it was legal to make fan made content
I agree - I cannot fathom how THIS could hurt anything legally ?
Because of the 80´s movie-song that Bullseye is humming in the end ? Come on ! And surely not because of the comic book characters.
FUCK YOU youtube !
I am so sick of that copyright censoring heap of filth. GOD.
You can watch it anywhere on the net, sure.
But still, why ? Why the heck ?
Anyway, great movie, thanks for ruining the upload you bureaucratic selfrighteous scumbags...
It is also because alot of copyrighted 80's songs are in it.
Interesting how there were some deep references to the comics. Emil Gregg (Sin-eater), District X (a not so Xavier Institute, mutant populated neighbourhood of NYC) and Bullseye(?) by the end. Funky, how ambiguous Mr.Shankar made it seem that when they were interrupted it could have been like a 'snuff film' but Brock isn't too beyond antics like Jake Gyllenhaal was in 'Nightcrawler' (again, in 'District X', the X-men aren't too relevant ;I ; haven't followed Marvel since ~'12)
That definitely was Bullseye at the end. I mean look at him, plus he killed a guy with just a pencil.
This is more than just a fine piece of "Cinema," it is a brilliant idea realized. Thank you again for another amazing video that I am both jealous I didn't come up with and overjoyed to have witnessed. As both a comic book fan and a film fan I must say this was genius. You blended the two magnificently, in a way not many would have thought to do. Absolutely brilliant.
I've had this guy's CZcams channel on my watch list for a while. I saw yesterday he put up a Power Rangers video that's suppose to be pretty awesome
Yeah, It blew up the internet the other day. Its killer.
This is truly terrifying. It's like a horror film. That is VENOM!
This is absolutely amazing. Best portrayal of Venom I've seen in ages. I wonder where Spiderman is during all of this
This seems to take place around Amazing Spider-Man #298, #299, and #300, with Eddie mentioning "dropping in on a ladyfriend (Mary Jane Watson)", which happens at the end of #299. This is juuuuust before Spider-Man meets Venom for the first time.
You can actually see him at 4:15 in the background.
@@jaydelaverdure5972 I’m pretty sure that was a pigeon
This reminded me about Nightcrawler. Eddie Brock is the original nightcrawler
Especially if you read Venom: Dark Origins, where he literally stole a girl’s cat and acted like he saved it when he gave it back to her.
The most.... BAD ASS Venom ever put on film my friend! Good work dude!
This film is probably my favorite fan film ever , it even stands up with being a film non related to marvel . Lovely
I knew it was about Brock/Venom! That was awesome how Bullseye was incorporated.
Hollywood doesn't give us anything but crap and everyone is craving good movies like yours.
This is like a John Carpenter/David Cronenberg-influenced take on Venom.
Adi, you should take a crack at Carnage. If you make Venom this good, well...
haltrman93 Not at all. You have to appreciate Kasady in his human form as well, just like Brock to understand what makes him crazy.
Carnage is lame compaired to Venom..Kinda like Superboy. so far down the rabbit hole.
**I actually have the 1st issue of Carnage from late 1980's. I dunno what it's worth..it's available for trade.
I want vintage skate shoes(size 10.5-11.5) or THrasher skate mags etc.. message me if you have the sht I'm seeking
C T what is this a swap meet
Joe Lynch is the filmmaker, he and the cast deserve credit for the execution of this project
This is exactly why this story needs to be made in to a live action motion picture. What an incredible job done on this film. I really can't say enough. Truly impressed what can be done on a meager budget and unlimited imagination. I subbed.
This is by far the coolest adaptation of venom I have ever seen. Keeping it to black and white truly composes a horrific view point of pure fear. This is exactly what should have happened in Spiderman 3. It is pathetic how they make these movies for kids when the entire SYMBIOTE era is dark, morbid and based off of true fear. Kudos to the creators. You have struck gold. Stan Lee should be proud and if any law suits are made, they were made out of jealousy. Seriously this short film was better than all the Spiderman films. Happy you made my favorite villan look awesome and happy he finally got the credit he deserves. Now on to CARNAGE please. Kudos again
Peter Parker Truthfully Venom was never meant to be in Spider-man 3,according to early drafts.
I don't know why anyone would have been under the impression that superhero movies were aimed at anyone but kids.
venom 2 has arrived hahaha
This video is better than the whole spiderman 3 movie.
too true!
You need to be our president you spit nothing but Fact
Venom was forced into the third movie, of course this is be better
Stop hating Spider-man 3!
This is the Venom film we should've had oct 2021.
Man, would i wouldn't kill to see Andrew Garfield and Ryan Kwantan duking it out!
Was the guy who killed the person in the snuff film set supposed to be Bullseye?
I think it's another reference. I love this fan-film for all the subtle little things in it; the conversations between Eddie and the Other, the dead criminal he hung from the fire exit, ''I ate my sins - literally (Sin-Eater reference, in the comics he lost his job at the Bugle after doing a massive exposé on a fake Sin-Eater, costing him his reputation)'' and that snuff film set. This is how Venom should be done, and holy shit, he did this brilliantly.
SlimSuedey A subtle reference to Venom: Dark Origin is at 8:02. The "lady friend" is actually Mary Jane Watson.
UnseenGriffin Oh that's right. That was when Venom scared the shit out of her so much that Peter had to retire his black Spiderman suit at her request.
In all honesty, Venom did the whole ''honey, I'm home!'' thing to MJ in ASM# 299, but the Dark Origin version sticks out in my head a lot more!
You mean the guy with the bullseye marking on his forehead who has perfect accuracy?
Nah, no.
That was the penguin. Can't you see?
JESUS CHRIST THE SOUND IS BACK
HALLELUJAH
Show of hands, who wants Ryan Kwanten as Eddie Brock\Venom ?
Since Marvel has the rights to Spiderman, I suggest they get on that :-P
***** Just my opinion. This wasn't a bad performance though
Marvel doesn't have the rights to Spider-Man Sony still completely owns them they are just collaborating
Marvel doesn't have the rights to Spider-Man Sony still completely owns them they are just collaborating
Marvel doesn't have the rights back, they are merely in an agreement with Sony.
they already have a tom hardy to play venom in the upcoming venom movie not sure who will play carnage tho
I did not know what to expect but honestly now that it's over... I think I really like it. The ending was still somewhat unsettling despite a low budget and I just love all the Spider-Man newspapers on the walls of that room. A unique version of Eddie Brock and Venom I'd have to say and way better than Topher Grace. How another commenter mentioned he doesn't carry a lighter and how the sound cut out right before Venom was literally thrown up by Eddie I appreciate. Also how he just cut that guy off when he mentioned Spider-Man and the rant about him being the hero and protecting the city. I kinda love how he acts so upbeat a lot when he's just killing as many people as it seems he is. It felt unique especially with being in black and white. Great job guys! Definitely was a slow burn.
Solid short-film overall. I'd like a whole Venom movie like this with more budget or it might sound crazy but maybe even a TV show. Disney+ show anybody now that there's a Multiverse? It's not likely but I'd probably watch it.
If they do , they should never even reference a multiverse , definitely the worst part of modern superhero stuff
@@brownbearboxproductions3458 Yeah I don't like how quickly Marvel moved onto the multiverse because it just makes things all the more complicated than they need to be. Fionna and Cake is a great representation of the multiverse outside of comic-related media and even then you still have the Spider-Verse movies so I think it's not the worst thing right now, in fact it's an interesting idea, but the MCU has sorta over-used it.
Reminds me of Man Bites Dog for some weird reason.
More like a direct homage, which is why there are hardcoded french subtitles in the vid.
It's cool Ryan Kwanten's in it! He's a good actor.
One of the freakiest short films, if not *the* freakiest short film, that I've ever seen. Nicely done and very authentic on Venom's part.
I think the most shocking thing about this film is honest journalists refusing to accept money.
Hey I see you commented on this after the video has been muted, there's actually a copy with audio on Vimeo if you wanted to hear sound, and the actual actors, just spreading the word.
Apparently I'm late to the show by two years (just saw this for the first time), but this is really, really clever in a meta way! In the tradition of the unreliable narrator, Eddie Brock, a.k.a. Venom, is a brilliant choice as a focal lens by which to deconstruct media production and consumption. And the layers keep piling on, as a defrocked journalist who also harbors a secret dark persona (Venom) that lives off of extreme human emotion filmed by young filmmakers who, not unlike the alien symbiote, makes a living off of the high drama of human emotions. It's ironic that the filmmakers "comeuppance" comes not from being voyeuristic spectators (becoming complicit in producing essentially a snuff film), but from their objection to morally compromise the integrity of their film by refusing Brock's funding. And the fact that, within the context of the story line, their film was STILL produced despite the filmmakers THEMSELVES being killed, is the satirical "piece de resistance" in which all players involved, filmmakers, subject, and audience, exploit truth for their own ends--double entendre not withstanding!
Love how this is full of references and sits nicely before the events of Amazing spider-man 300.
Love this movie so much. The most authentic portrait of Venom ever put on film.
How does this only have a million views?!??!??!??!!
this is literally my favourite interpretation of eddie brock in anything ever holy
I like how they referenced sin-eater from the comics, golden.
Phenomenal. Between this and True Blood I'm convinced Ryan Kwanten is one of the most, if not the most underrated actor working today.
Better than the two venom films
This guy Ryan Kwanten is an excellent actor.
How do you figure? True Blood doesnt have any good actors.
Spaw PetSalon You know you're probably right. I guess Anna Paquin's Oscar was during a bad year for movies.
JiminyCriket That may have been the dumbest comment ever. One she was marginally cute, not as cute as Abigail Breslin or Quvenzhane Wallis when they were nominated. She was actually the best performer in a great movie with a gifted cast in her very first role. Did she peek? Maybe, but that doesn't take away from her talent.
JiminyCriket Have you seen The Piano? It's easily one of the greatest movies I've ever seen and every single lead performance on that film deserved an Oscar (especially Holly Hunter). Paquin's win was not a fluke.
That said... Maybe she did peak, but if you honestly think that X-Men is not a huge enough franchise when its been keeping Fox up and the first film was one of (and possibly the most direct) the main progenitors of the comic book film, then goddamn do you have nothing to say about film.
Yeah, I mean she had to go against Rosie Perez and Winona Ryder for that Oscar. Unbelievable achievement.
Man , I love your work! I just discovered your online series last night, and I'm blown away. These shorts are better than 90% of the crap that the movie industry pumps out. Film is art! More directors and producers need to treat it that way. Thanks, for all you hard work I really appreciate it.
Well that escalated really quick! Holy shit the fact that this fan made Venom short was better than the entire actual Venom 2018 movie by Sony should tell you something.
This is absolutely brilliant! Man bites dog homage WITH VENOM?!
For those who are wondering why the audio cuts out, the song played on the radio is "You Belong to the City" by Glenn Frey. If you like the eerie silence, watch this version. If you want the un-edited version, watch on Vimeo.
Matt Murdock Vimeo's good but the hassle to re-register if you don't have an account isn't working for me
Thanks for the information man. vimeo.com/79697570
This remains my favorite fan-film and my favorite audiovisual interpretation of Venom.
It's a creative interpretation on how Eddie views journalism and the search for truth, and the details sprinkled throughout building up to the reveal of Venom are nothing short of ...CINEMA!
Absolutely brilliant take on Eddie Brock that could easily expand into and holds it's own in a full-length film.I love how effortlessly the Man Bites Dog mockumentary style mixes into the Marvel universe.Personally,I liked the way the way the FX were approached.It gave u just enough of a few quick looks into how truly terrifying that character could be.It's proof that clever writing,skilled actors,and creative directing will always stand the test of time over the crap Hollywood tries to sell us.Joe Lynch and Ryan Kwanten are the kind of talent that Marvel fans deserve :)
You couldn't just mute the part that is copyrighted? What the fuck why did the whole video get muted?
i guess it's a good thing i can read french, but totally i wish the sound was still there
Team Bonflower You can watch the video with sound on vimeo
cool, thanks
Yeah! What the fuck?!
So, if I'm out on a sidewalk, doing a 'walk and talk', and someone drives by with the stereo turned up for 4 seconds, my entire 17 minute video is going to be muted?
Murphies Law Probably just some automated copyright thing, if they didn't license the song it makes perfect sense.
I would like you to do a Star Wars bootleg. Captured rebel pilot being interrogated by Imperial agents. An interrogation conversation about terrorism. Some political satire. Real, gritty, and culturally relevant. Or something better in the same range. Then again, I don't know you, maybe you hate that shit. ; p
Brilliant! I love the attention to detail with the mid-80's references. And the end sequence was amazing. The video director said some of the funniest lines in the film.
This was a great way to keep to the source material while also telling an original story! I'm also loving the fact that so much of the character was shown through small pieces. Subtle nods, but it's always the small details that shine the brightest.
1:27 Uh... Eddie? Your Venom is showing...
Cinematography is amazing and goes well with the atmosphere of the film
Wow, this is one of the most amazing independent shorts I've ever seen. I'm in awe of how good this was. Great job! Best of all, the whole thing felt very true to the real character of Eddie Brock from the original Michelinie-McFarlane stories.
Love your work man, no matter what medium you voice your creative in, it's always powerful, pushes boundaries and leaves lasting images. Hope our creative paths cross at some point.
Sony's new Venom movie should follow a similar tone. Eddie the tortured vigilante journalist. It could work well if they do it right.
+eon001 Ok back again after the latest Sony talk. I still think this tone would work perfectly. * Nightcrawler* meets. *Se7en*, meets *Dexter*, meets *the Fly*, meets *Jekyll and Hyde*. Sci fi crime drama. They could have a budget lower than Deadpool.
+eon001 lol Back AGAIN. Forgot I even posted this. Looks like it's happening. I hope Sony and Hardy use this short as inspiration. I guess I'll be back when they finally release this thing.
eon001 They released it. What did you think about it?
@@jaxonarnold8039 Hehe Totally forgot about this. The movie had potential. I particularly like Eddie as an investigative rouge journalist. It was a good take on the character. I just wish they leaned more into drama and horror. Didn't need all of that spectacle and CGI. That being said the movie made A LOT of money, so what do I know lol.
The sequel might be more true to this short, since it stars Woody Harrelson as Cletus Kasady / Carnage. It's called Venom :- Let There Be Carnage. The trailer was supposed to be out yesterday at the Super Bowl bruhhhh, IDk
14 minute short...
More Venom than the entirety of Spider-man 3
this needs more views this short film is absolutely wonderful
a really inspired mashup of the Venom comics and MAN BITES DOG (1992).. Bravo Joe Lynch, Adi Shankar, Ryan Kwanten, & everyone else involved
Why can't you make these full length?
I love this fan film , I bet this is set in James Cameron’s spiderman universe
Love this character through the 'Man Bites Dog' format. Excellent work, guys.
How ids this guy NOT on Hollywood's radar!? I'm an obsessive Venom fan &this made my tummy tickle unlike anything bearing the name.
Why's noone talking about BULLSEYE being in this?? 16:30
I would love to see a similar fan film about The Mandarin. It would be great to see exploration of his personality and his conflict with Tony Stark. That would've been great. From what I understand, this fan film was response to poor representation of Venom from Spider-Man 3. But in compassion to what was done with Iron Man's arch-nemesis Iron Man 3, Venom from Spider-Man 3 was the most comic book accurate villain ever put on screen. But, since Mandarin doesn't have fanbase that Venom has, I doubt that will ever happen.
This has to be one of the best short films I have seen in a long time. Mr.Shankar, you should really consider touring this in film festivals if you would ever be able to get the rights!
I absolutely hope you guys make a sequel to this , if you made a sequel I would genuinely pay a lot to see it.
Imagine this as a David Lynch film..... Nightmares galore...
If they ever did a Constantine film he would be perfect.
That's what I was thinking back then
Brilliant, the use of the grainy camera really brought almost a noire-esque atmosphere to the whole film, and the Venom scene. I nerdgasmed. 10/10. This is an extremly well made film, and I'm looking forward to watching your other work.
vVenom at the end took me by surprise! Thank you Adi Shankar 😄😄😄
The original Venom film.
So I watched the Punisher Power/Rangers and now Venom very nice job. The Joker's story told from this "man bites dog" style POV might be cool as well.
It's a lot better than I expected.
Now this was a awesome short film. Beautiful work man keep it up
"This video previously contained a copyrighted audio track. Due to a claim by a copyright holder, the audio track has been muted."
Goddamn it CZcams
That's surprising, it really reminds me of a belgian movie wich is also a fake documentary in black and white where a team follows a hired killer to slowly realise he takes a bit too much pleasure in his work :"C'est arrivé près de chez vous" or "Man bites dog"
I knew someone had to realize that, bro.
I fucking lover Man Bites Dog, great movie. This was a nice homage, but the original is way better.
Man, I can't wait to see what you have planned for this year!
Moonknight? Ghost Rider? Blade? Keep em coming!
I love all the music that's playing in the background. Good job picking it
that was so weird...and freakin' awesome!
A Venom spin-off movie just got announced by Marvel. I've got my fingers crossed for you, Ryan.
Seriously? It's all there!! So many references to Brock's history & Spidey comics in general from the time. All the Bugle newspapers, the Sin-Eater references & Eddie's disgrace from that, the insane weight-lifting, the newspapers all over the wall, the church, that whole discussion about it, it was all there and it was so great!!!
That was REALLY freaking cool!
