Combat Shock
Directed by Buddy Giovinazzo
This low-budget cult classic follows a Vietnam veteran's slow descent into madness after failing to adjust to life upon returning home. Writer/director/producer Buddy Giovinazzo made his indelible debut with this nihilistic saga of Vietnam vet Frankie's (Ricky Giovinazzo) desperate pursuit to save his family from the horrors of poverty and urban squalor. Culminating in one of the most brutal climaxes ever committed to celluloid, this unforgiving masterwork remains as controversial, disturbing and relevant as it was at the height of Reagan's America. Contains violence and gore.

Masterpiece
Holy guacamole this move was insane in the membrane I was looking for a move that me and my gf could watch while eating a couple jars of pickles (she is obese and loves to eat pickles like can’t put them down type shhhht) but writhing 30 seconds she was more concentrated on the movie then her pickles (which is very rare even when I asked her to go out with me she had her hand in the pickle jar) she didn’t even grab one during the whole movie and after she even asked if we could watch it again I’m think of using this move to cut back on the pickle budget this month thank you suffer for this opportunity to save a few buck you know the more in my wallet the
Holy Shiiit what a ride! 💀🖤🍖
A gnarly, nasty masterpiece.
Anything with an eraserhead-like baby is bound to be disturbing and this one delivers, especially with its finale. Some good gory scenes in this one.
