About the Film

This film tells the story of a manʼs fall into severe psychosis. Robbed, fired, dumped and off his meds, he now sees things that arenʼt there. Insanity and hatred grow while his rage festers, his mind is chaos and he wants others to pay for it. Madness will take him and his shotgun will purge.

This film will be shown with Don't Look Under Your Bed, a four-minute animation that makes a great introduction to the Friday Night Fright Fest program.
