Horrorcore rapper KidCrusher brings you a song for The Disturbed

Strongman Pictures, creators of the cult hit short film Peace and Quiet, yesterday announced they have lensed the video clip for Meet The Monstors (The Disturbed), a HorrorCore rap by KidCrusher based on The Disturbed, a film currently being developed in Melbourne, Australia.

KidCrusher is Australia's Deadliest HorrorCore Metal RapArtist (myspace.com/kidcrusher) from Foctam Records - South Australia (FoctamRecords.com). Meet the Monstors (The Disturbed) was written and performed by KidCrusher from the perspective of the character of Snake, from The Disturbed.

Fellow film maker and actress, Efisia Fele, played the Monstor. Efisia has risen to prominence on the back of her own Horror project, Lost Not Found (www.lostnotfound.com) and has recently been cast in the independent US horror soon to be shot in Chicago Death Walks The Streets (www.deathwalksthestreets.com).

The release of this song is in keeping with the buzz that is beginning to surround the development of The Disturbed. Although The Disturbed is still attaching finance it has clocked well over 50,000 downloads of its teaser video, has generated t-shirt sales and now has a killer song associated with it.

'It's very exciting to see artists from all over the Australian entertainment industry gravitate towards this project', said Director, Daniel Amrstrong. 'With people like KidCrusher coming to lend their vision and talents, and the help of fellow film makers in the genre like Efisia The Disturbed is certainly gaining momentum and a life of its own'.

Strongman Pictures continue to seek finance to lens their zombie horror epic. More information is available at www.thedisturbedmovie.com and [www.myspace.com].

June 4: THE DISTURBED meet "Monstors" Down Under

THE DISTURBED, the Aussie zombie movie we last reported on here, has spun off a genre-centric music video for Adelaide-based horrorcore metal rapper KidCrusher, titled "Meet the Monstors," that lensed a few Saturday nights ago (see more pics below). The location was the former Aradale Mental Hospital in Ararat, Victoria. A sprawling set of grand Victorian buildings, Aradale had been left to decay for some 20 years until recently being spied by DISTURBED filmmaker Daniel Armstrong. It's allegedly one of the most haunted places in Australia, and several of the crew agree. Standing on a cold dark night in a morgue littered with body parts supplied by makeup FX maestro Justin Dix, it was hard to deny the atmosphere.

Armstrong's fascination for the location led him to make it THE DISTURBED's setting. After he completed several drafts of the script, the filmmaker and his Strongman Pictures constructed a trailer (visible at the project's official website) that caught the attention of horror fan KidCrusher, who in turn based "Meet The Monstors" on the film's character Snake. The artist is not averse to including music and dialogue samples from his favorite fright films, nor is he shy about his Insane Clown Posse-meets-Dario Argento influences. His latest disc TORMENTED MUTATION will have many listeners racking their brains regarding the sources of many of his samples. The "Monstors" clip stars the rapper as Snake, and also prominently features filmmaker Efisia Fele as his ghoulish nemesis.

While the Kid endured his own makeup session to apply the appropriate bruising and bleeding (and ran around shirtless for most of the night), it was nothing compared to Fele, who initially spent five hours in the chair as Dix and crew turned her into a full-blown ghoul. With half a bodysuit on and staples firmly embedded in her head, she became an alluring yet revolting nightmare vision, moving like a twisted freak from a J-horror epic. Fele, a South African out of Italy who has spent several years living in Melbourne, has been making noise with her own Outback horror project LOST NOT FOUND (which we broke the news about here), and recently joined the cast of the soon-to-be-lensed U.S. indie feature DEATH WALKS THE STREETS (see its MySpace page here).

In between shots conducted at a very fast pace, Armstrong related his theory that forms the basis for THE DISTURBED: "Procedures like the lobotomy effectively turn a mental patient into a zombie. A mental patient has problems with emotional control, so you lobotomize them and it takes away those problems. This makes it perfect for setting a zombie film in that environment."
