Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Brutal Relax" is a Spanish 15-minute horror comedy short film from 2010 that includes virtually no dialogue at all though, so you won't need subtitles, even if you don't speak Spanish. Sound effects and music (an English song) are far more dominant here. I am surprised to see how many people wrote and directed this fairly short film about a man who just wants to enjoy his summer holidays away from his stressful worklife at home, but the one thing he did not expect were the undead invading the beach where he is residing. Oh well.. a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do right? Especially if it is such a hunk like José María Angorrilla. Maybe Spaniards will know some actors here, but I really didn't. The trashiness of the entire thing perfectly symbolized by the kissing girl near the end is sometimes worth seeing, but also only for so many minutes and the film we have here certainly isn't finding the right balance with regards to anything. Or maybe it is simply the wrong season to watch it I'm not sure. I was not as well-entertained here as I hoped I would, even if the main character is kinda fun and makes it okay at times. All in all, a thumbs-down. Watch something else instead.
redrobin62-321-207311 Saw this recently at Goregasmic Cinema. I wasn't looking for a horror short but watched it anyway since I'd been looking at a lot of subversive horror shorts recently by Nikk Zedd and others. A lot more money was spent on this one, though, and you can tell. The frantic editing pace must've been where the bulk of the budget went...and you can tell. It's actually quite well done. It's probably a good idea that the sea monsters only bled green. An excesses of red blood probably would've rendered this movie unwatchable.There were some funny bits interspersed with the horror and I definitely see these guys being tasked to create a full length comedy-horror movie (if they haven't been already). I also liked that catchy little "Summer Summer Time" tune that plays throughout. A horror short with a soundtrack. Kind of like "Thriller" on steroids. Watch it. It'll 15 minutes of your time well spent.
alshwenbear1 What to say? ♫ Summer, summer time ♫ was a lot of fun! If you like this battery-less, angry psycho and unintended avenger, you are on a fifteen minute, vacation trip! Just beware, that limbs will be ripped off left and right, and decease youngster's body will be used as weapon of green destruction, along with skulls being encrusted and taken out of the flesh like batteries on a defunct Walkman, as weird as it is this short is worth what a two hour movie sometimes is not, who needs character development when the first minute reveals "our hero" with that cuckoo's mile? So get your swimming suit, and watch from the distance, while Mr. Olivares finish off the bloody, sub-humans whom probably are related to Aquaman!
kosmasp If you are looking for a fun little (in running time only) movie to watch, you don't have to look any further. While the title can be seen literally, you obviously have to have a heart for horror comedy. Though the comedy aspect of it is still pretty brutal. We're talking about things happening here, that quite a few might not be able to stomach at all.The effects are great and the actors are "convincing" for what they have to achieve. You might call this "overkill" sometimes (no pun intended), but then again, it still can pull it off and not be boring in any way. Watch it and enjoy
