In his 2015 “Behemoth”, Chinese independent filmmaker and multi-media artist Zhao Liang turned the titular biblical ravenous beast into a metaphor for coalmining and the environmental and social issues related to it. In his new work “I’m So Sorry”, which premiered earlier this year at the 74th Cannes Film Festival in the brand-new Cinema for the Climate section, Zhao guides us through another man-made Inferno in a compelling trip to the most nuclear-affected areas of the World, creating a strong anti-nuclear plea.

The film opens with impactful images of nuclear explosions, leaving no doubts about the subject matter, and soon after proceeds to show the direct consequences of the nuclear disasters, using a blunt and rather effective approach.

"We won't stop until the threat has been eliminated. You... are all the threat." Level 33 Ent. has released an official trailer for a gnarly conspiracy horror-thriller film titled Behemoth, marking the feature directorial debut of digital artist Peter Szewczyk. He has worked for years in Hollywood in the VFX industry in various positions, from artist to supervisor and so on. Now he is making his own films. Behemoth is "an ambitious independent feature packed with monsters and demons unlike anything seen on its budget level." A father will risk anything, even his soul, to save his terminally ill daughter from a disease coming from a chemical company he used to work for. The cast includes Josh Eisenberg, Paul Statman, Jennifer Churchich, Richard Wagner, and Whitney Nielsen. This reminds me of the cult hit Psycho Goreman - solid indie filmmaking with some incredible FX work on all the creatures in it.
