With Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim coming out later this week, I thought it would be cool to share one of of the director's early short films, Geometria. It's a fantasy horror comedy that he made back in 1987. The story basically follows a boy who is tired of failing geometry, so he summons a demon to help him out.
The movie is loosely based a short story by Fredric Brown called "Naturally," which was originally published in Beyond Fantasy Fiction and later reprinted in the short story collection Honeymoon in Hell. This is actually the tenth short film that Del Toro directed. The director is a fanboy who had to work his ass off to get to where he is now. He just kept at it, making fun short films, and never gave up. Now the guy is making awesome movies!
I've included the original version which has English...
