A young man (Brandon Gadow) kills a guy (Dan Carbonaro) in self
defense. He then panics, hides the body in the trunk of a car he steals,
then drives around to his best friend (Rick Reger) so he gets him out of
the jam. The friend is less than pleased, naturally, but helps him still,
in sawing the body apart ... and hiding the evidence (i.e. the corpse) by
eating it up, which he claims to be in line with some pagan ritual. Then
though he sends our young man away in hopes to never see him again. Our
young man calls up his friend not half an hour later - this time he has
killed his abusive dad (Kelsey), and the sawing and eating ritual begins
anew ... Weirdly enough, our young hero and his friend really get into
eating people, so they soon go on a killing spree, killing at first random
people in the streets, but eventually, our young hero actually picks up a
girl (Leia Gadow) at a bar, makes love to her, then stabs her in the
shower. It's only when he ties up a maid in a motel room, prepares to
kill her, and she pleads for her life that he realizes what an animal he
has become. He refrains from shooting (and eating) her, instead blows
away his own brains ...
A very raw piece of low budget horror cinema that ddoesn't
waste too much time with pretense but goes straight to the jugular (even
if the actual cannibalism only happens off-camera, presumably for
budgetary reasons). Now granted, self-consciously raw low budget shockers
of Grape Jelly's ilk fail more often than not - but first-time
director Brandon Gadow proves himself to be versatile enough to provide
his skeletal plot with quite a bit of atmosphere, he by and large refrains
from showing something for mere shock value, and the whole thing is
accompanied by a pretty decent musical score, too. In all, a pretty cool
flick, actually. The movie, and others by ScUMBAG
