Puppetry done bloody.

Any fan of Meet the Feebles, Team America, Let My Puppets Come and anything horror, especially zombie related, should definitely get a kick out of Zombie Western: It Came From the West.

This lil short involves a young, under-appreciated son of a big brawling father. When Zombies come from the....west, the son is finally given an opportunity to show his non-believers that he's no weak-pi$$er.

This was a really cool little short that had gore, some good humor and lots of fantastic puppetry. The artistic aspect to the film was really unique looking and really a blast to watch. Not as glossy and put together as say Team America, but still just as amusing. Puppets and chainsaws are an instant win in my book. Also, it says to look out for the full length version. Not sure when we can see that, but I hope sooner rather than later.
