Let me just start off by saying that I watched this film strictly for the last short "Torched" (Directed by Ryan Nicholson).
I started off watching the other shorts but they were absolutely painful to sit through so I figured I'd spare myself the agony and just go to the good stuff, and what good stuff it was. So if you want to see the whole anthology, be my guest. There are others on here that can give you a better idea of what they have to offer.
Now, on to 'Torched'... What an awesome short that was!! Ryan Nicholson surely has a talent at making downright ruthless horror movies (check out Gutterballs, Hanger) and this one is no exception. It starts out following a cute nurse through her routine until she gets brutally raped and then has a sort of mental breakdown... The story gets sort of bizarre and chopped up after that, up until the rapist follows her back to her house.... That's when the whole revenge plot starts. To say there are some graphic scenes in this one is putting it lightly. If you can't handle the hardcore, I'd steer way wide of this film. If you are like me and seek out the most hardcore of the hardcore, this one is right up your ally. Probably one of the best Ryan Nicholson has put out and a great story line, albeit a very short budget. I really hope mr. Nicholson gets his chance to put out some more brutality, he definitely has a knack for special effects.
8/10, but only for Torched. The rest of the film I'd give "maybe" two or three stars.
