Did someone say "More Ted Screenshots?"

Since I'm totally nuts about the movie Ted (in case you hadn't already guessed), I just had to post some more wonderful screenshots from the movie of the century!
















A Beary Scary Teddy Bear Movie



From creators Steve Goltz and Kevin Sommerfield comes a new experiment in terror. A throwback to the slasher films of the 1980's, "Teddy: It's Gonna be a Bear" tells the story of four college students that get more than the bargained for when a hit-and-run accident turns into murder. Revenge is a dish best served hot with a hatchet in one hand and a teddy bear in the other. Will they "bearly" be able to survive the night?

That's the blurb for this new Teddy Bear movie I've found that looks beary scary to me! I don't even know if I'll be able to watch it or it might give me nightbears! It's a short film that only goes for about 12 minutes but it's supposed to be pretty good. If I do get around to watching it, of course I'll post about it and let you know what I think. In the menatime here's a couple of reviews pulled from imdb.

Superior slasher short

Four college kids try to cover up a murder after they accidentally run over a man on the side of the road. However, mentally challenged lone witness Teddy (a creepy and credible performance by Keegan Bergen) tracks them down and exacts a harsh revenge. Director Steve Goltz, who also co-wrote the tight and engrossing script with Kevin Sommerfield, relates the taut story at a brisk pace, delivers a handy helping of graphic gore, and stages the inventively nasty murder set pieces with real flair and skill (one guy getting speared right where the sun doesn't shine rates as the definite vicious highlight). This movie further benefits from sound acting by the capable cast, with especially praiseworthy work from Mike Goltz as hateful foul-mouthed jerk Clay, Sommerfield as the wimpy Aaron, Dana Terpinas as the sweet Dana, and Nikita Vora as the foxy Jenny. Moreover, the filmmakers pay neat homage to 80's slasher fare by covering such essential bases as a spooky masked maniac, an eerie atmosphere, and even the obligatory raunchy sex scene. Daniel Delaye's slick cinematography provides an impressive polished look and boasts exceptionally fine lighting. The shuddery score hits the shivery spot as well. Worth a watch for slice'n'dice fans.

Classic tribute on 80s slashers- by folks who love 80s horror !!!,

I was honored to see this little short at Horrorhound Indianapolis 2012 at the Elvira Film Hunt Festival- it was a homage to 80s slashers , and with a gory comical twist! If you enjoy the 80s slashers, and all the charm they have in their own way , you will love this ! It makes you laugh , and go "I totally get it" , it is well worth the watch! So if and when you are able to see it- or go buy it from Slasher Studios - it is worth it- so- get on with it- buy it- or got o a con and see it! Now - if I go any further- I will take away surprises that would be best left to see first - so- that is your cue! Make these guys happy, Steve and Kevin- they will so spare you if you get it now!!

More posters for Ted

Here are a few foreign language Ted movie posters.

Any excuse to post more stuff about Ted!




Tedriffic!


Well, I finally saw the movie Ted and I'm delighted to tell you that it was absolutely awesome. It was much better than I had expected and hoped it to be. I've been raving about it to everyone I know all week and I've already watched it several times because its just that good.



What makes Ted so special is that it combines so many different elements and balances them perfectly. Not only that, but its so unique in its take on the Teddy Bear genre. I mean if this was done by anybody other than Seth MacFarlane, say Disney for example, you'd probably get the usual wholesome squeaky clean PG rated stuff targeted for child audiences and guaranteed not to offend anybody. All too predictable. Ted on the other hand manages to be funny, cute, sad, uplifting, offensive, politically incorrect and anything else you can think of all at the same time. The emotional moments are genuine but not too soppy and the humour is, well, did I mention politically incorrect?

 
Ted is not your typical cuddly Teddy Bear. Hes vulgar and rude, and he smokes and drinks. There are scenes you might expect and and then there's stuff you wouldnt have imagined. Admittedly its not for everyone, but if you don't offend easily, if you love the eighties and enjoy spotting pop culture references, and if you've got a big heart and you love Teddy Bears, then you'll adore the movie Ted, as well as Ted himself.
