The plot is simple. An eight-year-old is locked in a closet so his mom can bang her lover, he gets out and murders them with a sledgehammer. Years later, the house is rented out by college kids for a night of partying and he takes his sledgehammer to them. The most confusing thing about the film is the killer himself. He seems to be resurrected by the college kids during a seance, but was he even dead? We never hear of him dying, but he does seem to materialize in the form of a man, implying that maybe he grew up and then died? However sometimes he reverts back to his eight-year-old state. Does it matter really? We're just here for death right? Death and excessive mullets and the longest still shots you could imagine juxtaposed with slow mo because gosh darn it we are going to try to get this film as close to an hour and a half as we can.
We were a bit divided on this film. We laughed a bit but the long shorts, slow motion, and long flashbacks made the film drag quite a bit. You probably won't regret watching it, but we are not sure if it's a guaranteed watch.
Spoon Rating: 4.5
