This DVD set includes four films, including MOLE.
MOLE is noteworthy because it won three Tabloid Witch Awards in 2005. Best Horror Feature Film (Rich Mauro & Anthony Savini), Best Actress (Sam Tsao), and Best Supporting Actor (James Cox). The Tabloid Witch Awards are sponsored by the Hollywood Investigator, and were presented in November 2005 at Loscon 32, a Los Angeles-based science fiction convention.
MOLE seems inspired by THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, but stands on its own. MOLE is about the homeless (and sometimes psychotic) people who live in New York City's abandoned subway tunnels. The film plays upon the urban legend of "mole people" -- people reputedly born underground and living their whole lives underground (what would such people evolve into? the film asks).
In MOLE, an ambitious TV reporter leads two people (her cameraman and a guide) into New York's abandoned subway tunnels, seeking to interview the homeless people who live there. Some homeless men tell this reporter and her crew about the legend of "mole people" -- and soon thereafter these TV people get lost in the tunnels and are forced to confront the reality of "mole people" and their own fears and prejudices.
MOLE was actually shot in some of New York's abandoned subway tunnels -- a great example of "guerilla filmmaking." |
