Attack of the Fisher Cat

125-WORD SYNOPSIS.
Bullies beware! The Fisher Cat yearns to feast on your flesh. No perpetrator of a Five Finger, Waffle Belly, or Flying Flagpole Wedgie is safe from the powerful jaws and razor sharp claws of the Fisher Cat.
Made by renegade filmmaker Ben Folstein, this film combines silent narrative with horror, and a cast entirely comprised of small children. How can you go wrong?

250-WORD SYNOPSIS.
Something is lurking in the woods of Camp Wimgaw. More ferocious than a Brown Bear. More vicious than a Mountain Lion. Sneakier than a Marmot. You guessed it, beware of the infamous Fisher Cat! Able to cut through flesh and bone with a single swipe of the claw, rip out entire gastral intestinal systems with a single chomp of the jaw, and devour a fat House Cat with a single swallow. When it gets tired of it's usual diet of house pets and babies, the Fisher Cat sets sight on sweeter meat: the flesh of young bullies.
'Attack of the Fisher Cat' is typical of renegade filmmaker Ben Folstein's emerging style. Using the arcane format of the silent narrative, Folstein applies updated techniques in an attempt to create a new American Mythology. A mythology free from the dubious capitalist morality of the current paradigm, and as universally comprehensible as a rock or a tree.
But put the philosophy aside for now and enjoy the viseral orgy that is 'Attack of the Fisher Cat'.
