Interesting you say that. I loved District 9 then the next thing I saw from him was 'Oats Studios' shorts; which turned me right off the guy.
Billed as post apocalyptic stories; it sounded entertaining but what I saw was strong shock/gore/horror stuff which just seemed to go for straight up nastiness with no decent story, message or social commentary that I could discern. Juvenile writing paired with horrible imagery for the sake of it.
Not for me, and I'm not sure who it would be for really. Black Mirror has a cerebral quality but Oats was simply depressing rubbish.
I don't think I'll watch another thing by him. Really disappointing since District 9 was fantastic.
