Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

I went into this with high hopes after hearing the podcast hosted by the writer and director and was summarily let down.The script itself is the biggest problem. At what point does "an homage to 80's slasher movies" get renamed "a rip-off of 80's movies that were already bad when they were new"? This movie does nothing new with the slasher concept and if I'd seen as many 80's slashers as the creators, I'd probably be able to tell you exactly where they got the "inspiration" for every single one of the death scenes. The second problem is that Teddy himself isn't scary at all. He's not at all imposing and you half expect the characters to laugh when they each face him for the first time. The third problem is the same problem you have with all low budget features: the acting. Kirk Gilbert and Mike Goltz do a great job with Jeff and Clay, respectively. Nikita Vora turns in an adequate performance until she's required to scream. Keegan Bergen's directions seem to consist of "stand there menacingly" and he gets the first part of it right. As for Kevin Sommerfield and Dana Terpinas, you can't wait for their characters to die so you don't have to suffer through any more of their "acting".It's not all bad here, though. As I said above, the Jeff and Clay characters are played to perfection. The cinematography is also very well done, much better than what I expected for a low budget short. The director does what he can with what he has, but it doesn't add up to anything I'd want to see again.

I was honored to see this little short at Horrorhound Indianapolis 2012 at the Elvira Film Hunt Festival- it was a homage to 80s slashers , and with a gory comical twist! If you enjoy the 80s slashers, and all the charm they have in their own way , you will love this ! It makes you laugh , and go "I totally get it" , it is well worth the watch! So if and when you are able to see it- or go buy it from Slasher Studios - it is worth it- so- get on with it- buy it- or got o a con and see it! Now - if I go any further- I will take away surprises that would be best left to see first - so- that is your cue! Make these guys happy, Steve and Kevin- they will so spare you if you get it now!!

Four college kids try to cover up a murder after they accidentally run over a man on the side of the road. However, mentally challenged lone witness Teddy (a creepy and credible performance by Keegan Bergen) tracks them down and exacts a harsh revenge. Director Steve Goltz, who also co-wrote the tight and engrossing script with Kevin Sommerfield, relates the taut story at a brisk pace, delivers a handy helping of graphic gore, and stages the inventively nasty murder set pieces with real flair and skill (one guy getting speared right where the sun doesn't shine rates as the definite vicious highlight). This movie further benefits from sound acting by the capable cast, with especially praiseworthy work from Mike Goltz as hateful foul-mouthed jerk Clay, Sommerfield as the wimpy Aaron, Dana Terpinas as the sweet Dana, and Nikita Vora as the foxy Jenny. Moreover, the filmmakers pay neat homage to 80's slasher fare by covering such essential bases as a spooky masked maniac, an eerie atmosphere, and even the obligatory raunchy sex scene. Daniel Delaye's slick cinematography provides an impressive polished look and boasts exceptionally fine lighting. The shuddery score hits the shivery spot as well. Worth a watch for slice'n'dice fans.
