NIGHTSATAN AND THE LOOPS OF DOOM is a post-apocalyptic science fiction thriller emerging from the wicked brain of visionary writer/ director CHRZU.
Set in the Finnish province of Karelia in the year 2034, the amazing adventure features cannibalism, graphic violence, stunning visual lore and a synth score paying tribute to the classic works of John Carpenter and Goblin.
It is a thoroughly original nod to the Italian genre cinema of the 1980's, with a hint or two of Alejandro Jodorowsky thrown in.
NIGHTSATAN AND THE LOOPS OF DOOM was awarded as the Best Short Film at Morbido Festival, Mexico, 2014.
Synopsis
Year 2034 on the plains of the post-holocaust wasteland of Eastern Finland. A trio of synthesizer warriors calling themselves NIGHTSATAN conduct musical rituals in order to maintain what is left of their sanity.
They end up saving a fierce vixen from her brutal captor. Failing to understand her own good, the savage beauty escapes into the hostile territory of a merciless musical tyrant - just to become trapped, tortured and in need of being saved again.
NIGHTSATAN won't swallow it - and all hell breaks loose
