Adam Green is director that knows how to have fun. His films are like giant breaths of fresh air for the film-viewing community. His most famous film, Hatchet helped to resurrect the slasher genre with its likable characters and badd-ass old school villain. I’m a huge fan, I love his films, but I love his shorts even more.  That’s why for the debut of Short Cuts a new Killer Film feature that’ll have the KF crew dishing out either mad love or hate for a host of abbreviated films we have chosen one of Green’s films.

Fairy Tale Police is a the best play on the popular COPS television series that I’ve ever seen. Created for XBOX’S Horror Meets Comedy, Fairy Tale Police stars Racheal Leigh Cook (She’s All That) and Parry Shen (Hatchet) as cops that patrol a storybook realm populated by some of the worlds’ favorite characters.

The officers hit all the right notes at precisely the right times, especially Cook who plays the more aggressive of the two. First they encounter a domestic disturbance between the Big Bad Wold and a friend, and then the officers are at the scene of a hit-and-run involving reindeer.

Green’s comedy is strong and his timing is impeccable.  I love his use of dialogue and all of his characters, even the secondary ones are worthy of revisiting.  Green makes films that are fun to watch, he makes films with his friends, and he’s not afraid to make fun of himself if it’ll garner a laugh or two. He’s probably my favorite director to come onto the scene in a while, and all of his flicks are worth checking out.  If you haven’t seen any of his flicks before then head over to Netflix as soon as your done reading this and add them to your rental queue.
