Canadian directing team the Purchase Brothers created the video above, "Escape from City 17 – Part One," the first in what may be a series of (uncommissioned) short films based on the videogame Half-Life. The five-minute clip sure is violent, with pails of blood spilled in semi-industrial, minimalist locales. The heroes make with the rapid-fire: rata-tat-tat! And masked bad guys' heads explode in graphic fashion: splat! (Those are awesome melon-splat sound effects. These guys should try a Whole Foods ad next.)
