Andy B A very low budget film, with appropriately awful video quality, awful music and lumpen plot. The main character is a photographer who specialises in shocking videos. If we had any doubts about his lack of ethics, early on he is shown videoing a man stabbing a woman to death while stood in the same room. His character is then firmly nailed in place when he tries to sell this video, and an argument erupts about which one of the two people present is the lowest life form. Personally, I think it’s a tie. When he sees people eating someone in an alley, his natural response is obviously to film it - only to discover he has no film in his camera, (he’s not only obnoxious, he’s stupid too). He manages to convince an equally dim-witted colleague to hunt down these ghouls with him. The predictable cheap bloodbath ensues. The film has two major issues (and a host of minor ones). Firstly, the lead character is so massively obnoxious that I spent the entire film hoping he would become an entree. Secondly, the film-makers seem to think that the question “who are the REAL monsters here?” Is completely original. It isn’t, nor is it well handled. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/28/24 Full Review Audience Member Confusing, depressing, and pointless. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Low budget indie horror about a freelance videor who searches the streets looking for a news story to record whether it's a brutal murder scene, a suicide attempt... or even a sewer-dwelling cannibal clan that stalks the city streets at night looking for a meal. It's pretty grim natured and gory at times - the opening scene of actual news footage of a guy blowing his brains out with a rifle after unsuccessfully setting himself on fire kicks things off, then we get sporadic moments of blood and gore from gut-munching to skinning, but it's not super-gory or grotesque. I also enjoyed seeing Joseph Pilato in a small cameo who plays another foul-mouthed bastard character similar to his portrayal of Captain Rhodes in "Day of the Dead". I thought the film was well enough made given it's budget constraints and I found the film to be good overall. If you're use to modern independent horror that's dark and pulls no punches then check it out. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Low and dirty shot-on-video gutter-shocker with decent acting and realistic gore effects. The minimal budget and setting totally works in its favor. They sure don't make them like this anymore. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Demasiado soft para ser gore, demasiado gore para ser soft. Estoy seguro que si la "historia" se redujera a cierto concepto basico se haria algo bueno, pero esto simplemente opto por el lado idiota y ya. La unica duda que me quedo fue: ¿por que demonios perdi mi tiempo en esta mierda? Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Decent indie horror flick that earns points for at least trying to be different. Having hated Chad Ferrin's UNSPEAKABLE, I watched this only because Tiffany Shepis is in it, and guess what? She's in it for (maybe) 8 seconds.
