My quick rating - 1.7/10. Looks like we have another wannabe "snuff" flick here. You have seen me mention flix that attempts to make you believe they are real torture or murder caught on video. This has the grainy, static look and all to begin with. Let me break down how amateur this is. There have been three supposed videos so far, and they all have identical static effects going. All consistent meaning it isn't anything but a filter they turned on, not any form of random static you get from actual overuse. This third clip after just a shock value slit wrist that don't worry, is only for the surprise, there is no actual cutting, is some stupid dismemberment. Again, same static, incredibly fake-looking props, and totally terrible blood effect (the saw is lifted twice to the camera, and the blood pattern has NOT changed one bit.) The sawed off foot can literally be purchased at any prop shop (more realistic than in this #turkey) Next up is a castration without a squirt of blood LMAO. I can see why everyone is wearing masks, I wouldn't want to be recognized for being in such a poorly made flick. I don't like admitting this, but the chick's voice during the castration video sounded familiar, and look what name I see under directors but Mercedes the Muse (you deserve better). She pops up in B-budget gore flix and even a Troma flick or two every now and then. There is no plot to this, just videos that are meant to disturb you but unless you are a novice to this, it is only going to annoy you. Seems this clip has some story, with a kid hearing his parents fighting on Christmas Eve. I won't ruin it, but he is supposed to be filming what he finds with his phone when he goes downstairs HOWEVER there are camera shots from all around the room aside from his footage LOL. Luckily the killer Santa set up a tripod to film as well (still doesn't explain the other 2 or 3 angles). In true horror trope fashion, Santa is a woman and topless, so boobs for no reason. Not complaining but that is probably going to be the highlight of this whole mess. The credits for the end of that video were creative at least. Wow, next up a woman hits a guy with a hammer, well, a horrible rendition of hitting anyone with anything, but that was the whole story. There is a theme, each clip sucks. You know someone was reaching by claiming he found this clip on 4Chan, then again, maybe they did since it was pretty dumb. Another home castration fake with blurred-out censoring which does defeat the purpose of this nonsense. Next up, the execution show, yawn. "Bet you wish you didn't go out for that walk" Ok, I chuckled. Oops, you forgot to get blood on the drill that you just "sunk" into the guy's collarbone. Man, this is so stupid. When something is this bad, critiquing it on the fly is quite easy. Seems last up us the guy who stalks and kidnaps prostitutes for his torturing pleasure. A little better on the torture aspect as far as home filming goes but still a pretty poor excuse for this type of film. Don't bother even if you are interested in these type of flix.
