Was that a really long trailer, or a really small short? Either way, the Massacrator, from director Pierre Ayotte, blows by in a quick four minutes. In these four minutes headless bodies explode and Elvis, reincarnated, is chased via motorcycle.
Filmed in grindhouse fashion, the Massacrator has no dialogue, but instead includes a catchy retro soundtrack, that even Elvis would have approved of. The horror short involves three characters, of which, only two survivor. The tagline "this time he wins," might give you a clue as to who dies and who survives. Shot in grainy styled cam, the film could have been a lot longer.
Already, the Massacrator has been at the Slamdance Film Festival, The New York City Horror Film Festival and it has won at the Fantasia Film Festival. A triumph of Canadian horror short cinema, the Massacrator is worth checking out. Come on, did this review state there was blood spraying, headless corpses?
Have a look at the Massacrator at the film's website:
