It has been well establish that superhero films have basically become their own genre. Their popularity and sheer volume has placed them into their own unique category. We are also beginning to see subcategories emerge within superhero films that twist and turn the typical format we have come to expect. The film All Superheroes Must Die is one of the newest examples of this phenomenon. It takes the archetypal heroes we recognize and places them into dark and perverse world we would normally associate with a horror film. That juxtaposition of genre is clever premise which could provide a much needed boost to a genre that can easily become stale. Regrettably the final product does not live up to the promise of that potential. Being a small...

The Fp
Stars: Jason Trost, Lee Valmassy, Art Hsu, Caitlyn Folley, Nick Principe, Brandon Barrera, James DeBello, Sean Whalen, James Remar | Written by Brandon Trost, Jason Trost | Directed by Brandon Trost, Jason Trost
It seems everyone and their uncle is trying to make instant cult movies these days. Whether they be grindhouse-inspired genre flicks or retro movies that throwback to the heyday of VHS, it seems “cult” is the new cool. However trying to make a cult film and succeeding at making a cult film are two very different things…
Thankfully The Fp falls into the later category, with what can only be described as a mash-up of Escape From New York and Step Up!
Set in a dystopian future, where a relentless turf war rages. The Fp sees two rival gangs feud for control of the rural wasteland Frazier Park (the Fp of the title) in the deadly arena...

I’ve been following All Superheroes Must Die ever since it was originally being marketed as Vs, so you can say I’ve been anticipating B-Movie specialist Jason Trost’s Saw/superhero hybrid for an awful long time. Why? Because ever since I saw Trost’s short The Fp, which eventually spawned the feature film I absolutely fell in love with, I just couldn’t ignore anything this guy was working on. I mean, he wears an eye-patch and won’t tell anyone why. How are you not following his every move?!
Hearing about the abstract concept of All Superheroes Must Die, I was immediately hooked from the start, and I wasn’t kidding about the whole Saw aspect either. Four superheroes wake up in different parts of a generic town, only to find their arch enemy Rickshaw (James Remar) has scattered innocent civilians around the town who need saving.

Brothers Brandon and Jason Trost have put everything into their passion project titled The Fp. It’s a bizarre tale about two rival gangs that battle it out not with weapons, but with dancing. The Fp takes the popular game Dance, Dance, Revolution to the next level, introducing a whole new wacky world, full of over-the-top characters and scenarios. I can see where the Trost Bros. were going; I just didn’t have as much fun watching it as they did making it.
Sometime in the near post apocalyptic future two rival gangs rule a small town. They battle it out over a dancing video game, which rewards the winner with the props and whatever other cool shit people like to throw around when they’ve beaten someone at something. Jtro (Jason Trost) loses a friend to the deadly game and vows to never return again, but as the days go by things get worse.

The Fp
Directed by: The Trost Brothers
Cast: Jason Trost, Art Hsu, Lee Valmassy
Running Time: 1 hr 22 mins
Rating: R
Release Date: March 16, 2012 (Chicago)
Plot: A futuristic civil war in California’s Frazier Park is fought by two gangs who competitively play the dance game “Beat Beat Revelation.”
Who’S It For?: People who think that “midnight movies” are only played at that certain time because that’s when all cults meet. Being talented at “Dance Dance Revolution” is not required.
Overall
Like the Wonderland that sucks in little virginal Alice into a mind-blowing odyssey of stunning events and funky characters, all of them dressed up with impeccable costuming, The Fp grabs hold of its lucky viewers and takes them through a bizarre world more magical (and delightfully over-the-top) than something we could ever try to conceive ourselves.

Rating: 3.5/5.0
Chicago – “The Fp,” playing in midnight shows this weekend at Music Box and in various arthouse theaters around the country, is a hard movie to put your finger on. Is it just bad like “Birdemic” or “The Room” or is it something “trying” to be bad? Is it a spoof of bad movies or just a bad movie? Does it matter? Either way, “The Fp” works for its audience, a rowdy crowd of midnight movie fans willing to put up with over-the-top silliness, bad performances, and general lunacy. It’s essentially an extended short film that doesn’t even justify its short running time but audiences on its wavelength will eat it up.
One has to give the team behind “The Fp” major credit for sticking to their ridiculous vision from first frame to last. Their movie is totally goofy and I don’t mean that as insulting as it may sound.

We live in an era in which talented filmmakers sometimes trade in creativity and taking chances for remakes, reboots and 3-D gimmicks. We get it -- they're a giant cash cow. Leave it up to the up-and-comers to make unique and rare movies that won't be seen by even a small portion of the people who saw "Clash of the Titans." At least we know those crazy ones still exist.
Right now those hungry men are Brandon and Jason Trost, the duo that has made the most bonkers independent movie of this year -- a movie about living the somewhat thug life called "The Fp."
"The Fp" is bats**t crazy. Here's the synopsis (bear with us, it gets weird). The film is set in a post-apocalyptic future in the Fp, known to you and me as Frazier Park. There's famine, overpopulation and disease, and the people and streets are...

A film that feels cobbled together from a "Dance Dance Revolution" arcade machine, that graffiti-covered white room where Will Smith shot music videos during his 'Fresh Prince' days and the desperate need to create a new pop culture catchphrase, “The Fp” is a singular pastiche of hip-hop nostalgia, smalltown escapism and dystopian absurdity. But the raw materials from which brothers Brandon and Jason Trost assemble their first feature are so specific that the end result may have trouble appealing to a wider audience, especially if viewers aren’t willing to embed their tongue so deeply in their cheek that they practically choke on it. A fun and ambitious if over-the-top and overlong comedy about a world where gangs work out their differences via dance fights to the death, “The Fp” is one of the most unique films made in years, but that novelty value also often makes it more of...

Drafthouse Films presents a pulse-pounding feature that takes you into the fierce and fearsome realm of Frazier Park, better known to its wily locals as The Fp. This is a dystopian wasteland where rage-filled gangs take their brutal battles to the streets in the form of the ultimate dance-fight video game "Beat-Beat Revelation." But the underground rivalry between the 248 and the 245 rises to a bloody new level of carnage when local hero Btro (Brandon Barrera) is slain while busting moves against the golden-grilled L Dubba E (Lee Valmassy). Devastated by the loss of his beloved older brother and dancing mentor, 248er Jtro (Jason Trost) goes into hiding, and when he emerges a year later, discovers the town he once called his own is very nearly a place without hope. Now Jtro must face off against the two-stepper who killed his brother in an epic dance showdown that will determine the...

"Hey L Dubba E, I challenge you to a beat off!" Today's indie trailer is a red band for a film called The Fp, directed by the Trost Brothers being distributed by Drafthouse Films. It's essentially The Warriors meets Dance Dance Revolution, the video game, in some crazy dark comedy mayhem. Director Jason Trost also stars as Jtro with Lee Valmassy as L Dubba E, Art Hsu, Caitlyn Folley, Nick Principe and Brandon Barrera as Btro. This actually looks surprisingly good, like a great cult classic in the making. There's a lot of good humor in it.

Ah snap! You just stepped into The Fp! This is the place where pride is measured by street cred and scores are settled in the ultimate competition: The Revelation. When the greatest competitors around, the guys from the 248, decide to accept the challenge of those dastardly 245’ers, everyone expects the 248 to arise victorious. The champion of the 248, Btro (Brandon Barrera), arrives ready for battle and fully prepared to take down the evil leader of the 245: L Dubba E (Lee Valmassy). He brings along his brother, and protégée, Jtro (Jason Trost) to take down another 245 soldier in an opening bout; which he does with ease. But in a nasty turn of events, L Dubba E beats Btro so savagely in the tournament that he ends up dead. With his hero slain, Jtro vows never to compete again and leaves the Fp. Months later, an old friend catches up with Jtro and beseeches him to return home; enlightening...

One of the most interesting aspects of attending a festival, such as SXSW, is the gamble you’re taking with each film. Most of the time, you’re not entirely sure what you’re walking in to, which can be either a curse or a blessing. In the case of The Fp, I hadn’t seen a trailer or a still from the film. The only thing I’d heard about the film was endless praise from people I trust about how inventive and funny it was.

Frazier Park, mothafuckas! Long have I been lamenting the making-a-bad-movie-on-purpose subgenre as of late, because I think if filmmakers try and stick to the joke throughout, they can make a damn fun movie. And if ever there were an example of that, it's the Trost Bros. The Fp. This thing looks like it was shot for the lint-dusted pocket change sitting in a bedside jar and three handjobs to be delivered later. The concept is absolutely donkeyballs ludicrious: underground street gangs roam the countryside of rural California settling their disputes with showdowns on the Beat-Beat Revolution dance machine. The entire thing is steeped in a late eighties veneer with characters spouting an exaggerated hip-hop patois -- calling each other "nig" and "bitch" and requesting someone "check a look" at things. With a lily-white cast -- save for the remarkable lone Asian -- it's a fucking risk. And it pays off.

Now that the SXSW Film Festival is coming to a close, we get a moment to take a breather, recovering and revisiting the memories of the films and parties that have instilled in our heads a seemingly permanent soreness. We also have to live with the inevitable regret over the buzzing films we may have missed.
Well, we’ve found a solution for one of these problems. At the Ritz all next week, we’re bringing back four of the SXFantastic films that have been some of the highlights of this year’s SXSW! In case you don’t know, SXFantastic is Fantastic Fest’s sidebar of the film festival, a series of cutting-edge midnight movies selected by our programming team.
We’re also bringing back two of our favorite short films from this year’s festival, Satan Since 2003 and Denmark. These films were so perfect that we couldn...

Last night's screening of SXFantastic selection "The Fp" at the Alamo Ritz began -- as apparently all screenings of "The Fp" begin -- with a ceremonial Four Loko chug race: Crew members, including the brotherly directing team of Brandon and Jason Trost, versus audience members. It was a goofy mood-setter, and maybe a bit of a warning: to fully appreciate their movie you might need to be drunk and high.
"The Fp" stands for Frazier Park, the area of California where the Brothers Trost hail from and which, if "The Fp" is to believed, is perhaps the white trashiest place on earth. In the Trosts' demented vision the Fp is a post-apocalyptic wasteland where rival gangs from "The 245" and "The 248" battle for control of the area's alcohol by playing Dance Dance Revolution. Whoever controls the booze controls the hobos, and whoever controls the hobos can keep the ducks in the park fed.

A clever spoof on the action films of the 1980′s, The Fp is one of the more unique films I have seen in recent memory. Taking place some time in the future when turf wars are decided by one’s prowess at Beat Beat Revelation, here are 83 minutes that will make any normal moviegoer sit back and think “what the hell am I watching?!?” Said viewer will then be hard-pressed to forget what he’s watched.
The Fp follows Jtro (Jason Trost), who watches his brother Btro die during a particularly grueling Bbr session with rival gang leader L Dubba E El (Lee Valmassy). Distressed over these events, Jtro flees into the outskirts of his home of Frazier Park (aka The Fp) to go work as a log-cutter. But while Jtro has quit the life, the life hasn’t quit him as his fellow gang member Kcdc (Art Hsu) brings him back into the fold.
