It’s kind of strange for me to realize that Tim Burton has now been around for so long that it’s time for film students to add him to the “stylistic homage” pool, but there ya go. With that in mind, below you’ll find what is apparently the “teaser” for a movie called “Monstrosity” which appears to be – I shit you not – a mashup of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” and “Dragon Wars.”
As near as I can determine, the premise here is that Earth and a planet of Monsters (which looks more like Planet Halloween, actually) get fused together somehow. The director is Colton Tran, who (again, near as I can determine) is a youngish dude mainly doing shorts and spoofs on the YouTubes, and the film itself is a feature(?) extrapolation of an earlier short called “Unpleasantville,” which appears to be an Addams/Munsters riff with a kiddie/Halloween aesthetic.
For what it’s worth, the project’s “official site” can be found HERE. Anyone who may have a better idea of what the hell it is I’m looking at here is invited to tell me 😉

Wow.
The youtube trailer crowd is going to bring forward some serious talent as filmmaking keeps getting cheaper.

This move looks low-budget… Then again, with a premise like this (and awesome premise, mind you), it kind of makes sense if it was independent.

I'm looking forward to the day when the film-geek student set starts doing feature-length homages to anime…

You think that looks weird, then you should check out the trailer for Francis Ford Coppola's new movie “Twixt.” I saw it (the full film) at TIFF and it is… something…

Furthermore, what the hell is “Original” when I choose quality setting levels on YouTube???? Looks marvelous in Full-Screen, though. So, this movie looks creative and cool and I wouldn't be surprised if that “sole human” was Burton. This looks like creativity may make a comeback in Hollywood.

This looks cute as hell! I'm such a sucker for Burtonian aesthetics (is it still to early for Burtonian to be a legit word?) and Halloween themes.

I dig the aesthetic, but the acting looks terrible. I want to feel optimistic about this movie, but I just can't.
