Look Both Ways -- Meryl (Justine Clarke), a lonely artist, literally envisions disaster around every corner. Through 'bursts of painterly, jewel-toned animation,' (The New York Times) Meryl's whimsically mordant daydream shark attacks, train wrecks and bridge collapses follow her everywhere. Nick (William McInnes) is a photojournalist whose work keeps him emotionally distanced from the tragedies he documents. When Meryl and Nick meet in the aftermath of a real train accident, their lives, and the lives of a handful of other witnesses and victims, are revealed and transformed.

Preoccupation with disasters and a growing sense of mortality threaten to derail the growing relationship between the witness of a train accident and the reporter sent to interview her.

During one unusually hot and tragic weekend, four people struggle after hearing some life-changing news, this in turn brings them together.

Stage 1: Hallucinations Stage 2: Organ Failure Stage 3: Body Melt It's a sunny day in suburbia. Suddenly a hideously deformed dying man disrupts the peace, crashing his car in the Pebbles Court neighborhood, the better part of Homesville. He's the victim of the experimental drug Vimuville, marketed as a 'dietary supplement' which has apparently malfunctioned. He has arrived too late to warn the population of Homesville not to try the pill that was dropped in their mailbox by a respectable pharmaceutical company. Unfortunately the folks of Homesville are suckers for freebies and they too start deforming, mutating, exploding and otherwise experiencing sudden death syndrome. A local health spa becomes the nerve center for the horrific outbreak as the fate of the people of Homesville spirals down a catastrophic path of no return. Full of shocking surprises, imaginative photography and layered with gore, Body Melt, compared to John Carpenter's 'In The Mouth of Madness', offers a horrific vision of lustful teenagers, old ladies, paranoid health staff and ordinary families going through the merciless deteriorating torture of Body Melt.
