Neill Blomkamp is best known for the South African sci-fi flick जिला 9. He’s followed up that smash hit with slightly lesser hits such as नन्दन और बच्चू, the latter of which was about a ghetto robot. Well, Rakka is anything but ghetto.

The 22 minute short film is a gory science fiction thriller, combining the horrors of films like एलियंस (obviously Neill’s way of getting back at Ridley Scott for undermining him and subverting his एलियंस project), but with the desperate struggle of humanity trying to fight back, closer to the likes of समापक.

The short is only 22 minutes long and there’s a trailer to prime you for what’s in store. Be warned, it’s not for the faint of heart and if you enjoy lots of body parts going bang, gibs, blood, and mutilation, you’ll definitely like Rakka.

You can almost feel the middle-finger rising from Blomkamp towards Scott, as he not only utilized themes from the एलियंस franchise, but also managed to scoop up Sigourney Weaver in the process. Originally Weaver and Blomkamp were going to work together on the new एलियंस flick that Blomkamp was going to be working on, which would have picked up after the events of James Cameron’s 1988 flick, एलियंस.

Basically, Blomkamp would have erased David Fincher’s abomination that was एलियंस 3, and culled from the sci-fi universe the even bigger abomination that was एलियंस 4. Blomkamp’s revisionist history of the franchise would have erased the latter two and brought back characters like Newt and Sergeant Hicks.

Unfortunately Fox put the जिला 9 director’s efforts on hold so they could give Ridley Scott a financial oral massage on the knob of his ego, letting him produce yet another abomination in the form of विदेशी: वाचा.

Hopefully we can finally be rid of Scott’s nuisance and flaccid ego draping over the विदेशी franchise like the saggy mammaries of a prostitute rolling down the face of Herman Cain.

Anyway, if you’re bummed about Fox letting Scott rape the integrity of the विदेशी franchise further, do yourself a favor and check out Oats Studio’s first volume of short films starting with episode 1, Rakka. You can stream the first episode for free over on the स्टीम दुकान.
