The Real Thing



One of the shining stars at the Tribeca Film Festival is "Paintball," an independent Spanish film from director Daniel Benmayor. One of only three horror films currently playing at the Tribeca Film Festival "Paintball," along with "Hysterical Psycho," and "The House of the Devil," can now be seen by horror film fans on the east coast. From director Benmayor and screenwriter Mario Schoendorff "Paintball," makes a social commentary on our tribalist society and how the role of violence, in various media forms, still remains relevant to society today. Also, adding in several tricks of the camera, first time director, Benmayor will add a visually appealing landscape that will thrill those fortunate enough to receive initial screenings. Have a look at the available details for "Paintball," here and let us all hope that "Paintball," also shows at the 2009 Los Angeles Film Festival this summer.

The synopsis for "Paintball," below...

Eight strangers convene in a remote forest for an expensive experts-only paintball retreat. They enter the game at full throttle, but already something is not right. The rules have changed and more is at stake than they expected. This frenetic thriller is akin to a live-action video game, but getting to Level 10 does not seem to guarantee anything (Tribeca).
