pretty cool but would have liked some revenge
This is a really interesting premise for a full length film, I’d love to see it expanded on. As is, not bad for a 14 minute short. The effects were really good I was not expecting them to be done as well as they were. The ending song had me rolling though so that was an added bonus!
Pretty fun - not sure about all these people rating it 1 star because it's a short and not a multiple movie franchise with fleshed out, in-depth lore. lol
this has potential to be good...the kidnapping...the mask...the fighting....and then cannibalism?...really...
the beginning sucks you in ...... and by the end I was happy to be vegan ;)
