Chickens with cow hooves, storks with human feet and five ugly brothers in a haunted mansion on the abandoned island of Ork is all you need for a good horror comedy. The Danish Men & Chicken<\/em>, which was screened at the Erasmus @ IFFR Film Night, attracted a large group of enthusiastic students. EM was present and talked with a few students about the rather strange yet humorous Danish horror comedy, the International Film Festival and what their plans are for the next two weeks.<\/p>\n

This is my first time at the International Film Festival in Rotterdam, and I\u2019m not quite sure what to expect. Men & Chicken<\/em> was a very strange comedy to me, as I did not expect the five brothers to all be genetically half animal, but I\u2019m looking forward to the next two weeks. It feels great to live in a city where the International Film Festival takes place, I\u2019m loving the atmosphere already!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really into performing and I have a great passion for comedy, so I can\u2019t wait to learn from more movies and talents during the next two weeks of the film festival. I found it very strange in the sense that the brothers were all experiments of their father. He had cross-breaded them with different animals. Despite that, it was a good movie to me\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI knew it was going to be a strange movie, but I definitely didn\u2019t expect to see this. Strange or not, I love the fact that the movie was in its original language. Usually films get dubbed into English, but that takes away the beautifulness. This is my first time at the International Film Festival so I can\u2019t wait to see what more it has to offer!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t
