Plot:
Renn Maxwell (Aaron Krygier) seems to have everything going for him. He has a manager that cares, he’s good enough at his craft (visual art) to have private gallery screenings. He seems to live in a nice looking house and he has a committed, streetwise, and beautiful partner in Carol.
However, Renn has been followed all his life by something dark. And now with the chaos of the modern world, and his own inner horrors, that evil has finally got close enough to reach out and touch. What follows in the next few days will paint the city of Buffalo, NY a whole new canvas, mostly flowing red…
Reviews:
“The bloody special effects are very well done, and the camera lingers on the big industrial drill pounding into the flesh of Renn’s victims […] Hill, Williams, and Krygier have no boundaries on this film, nor should they. The filmmakers and their cast are unapologetically diving into the Grindhouse vibe and genre fans will be pleased.” The Movie Revue
” …the film really comes into its own as a nightmarish experience with artistic ambitions that go far beyond just shocking its audience, and thus the movie relies at least as much on its rather labyrinthine, deeply disturbing story and on creating a creepy, slightly unearthly atmosphere as on its gore effects. And Aaron Krygier’s central performance is fittingly unsettling…” Search My Trash
