Not for everyone. Extremely gory . What you see is what you get. Not terrible though
Meh. Reasonably well made. I did feel like the gore was just for shock value and didn’t add anything to the main character’s development. Due to it only being 14 minutes we don’t really get to know any of the characters or learn about any motivations but that is just the nature of short films I guess. Overall probably a good watch if you like some gore.
meh. Aside from the wrestler the family are a little stereotypical for me. But well made good short.
twisted!
Tejano Chainsaw Massacre. Unique, gory, genuinely sad. This has serious feature film potential
