ThiefHott Too much of everything

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Brutal Relax" is a Spanish 15-minute horror comedy short film from 2010 that includes virtually no dialogue at all though, so you won't need subtitles, even if you don't speak Spanish. Sound effects and music (an English song) are far more dominant here. I am surprised to see how many people wrote and directed this fairly short film about a man who just wants to enjoy his summer holidays away from his stressful worklife at home, but the one thing he did not expect were the undead invading the beach where he is residing. Oh well.. a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do right? Especially if it is such a hunk like José María Angorrilla. Maybe Spaniards will know some actors here, but I really didn't. The trashiness of the entire thing perfectly symbolized by the kissing girl near the end is sometimes worth seeing, but also only for so many minutes and the film we have here certainly isn't finding the right balance with regards to anything. Or maybe it is simply the wrong season to watch it I'm not sure. I was not as well-entertained here as I hoped I would, even if the main character is kinda fun and makes it okay at times. All in all, a thumbs-down. Watch something else instead.

redrobin62-321-207311 Saw this recently at Goregasmic Cinema. I wasn't looking for a horror short but watched it anyway since I'd been looking at a lot of subversive horror shorts recently by Nikk Zedd and others. A lot more money was spent on this one, though, and you can tell. The frantic editing pace must've been where the bulk of the budget went...and you can tell. It's actually quite well done. It's probably a good idea that the sea monsters only bled green. An excesses of red blood probably would've rendered this movie unwatchable.There were some funny bits interspersed with the horror and I definitely see these guys being tasked to create a full length comedy-horror movie (if they haven't been already). I also liked that catchy little "Summer Summer Time" tune that plays throughout. A horror short with a soundtrack. Kind of like "Thriller" on steroids. Watch it. It'll 15 minutes of your time well spent.

Theo Robertson A man goes to his doctor and told what he needs in life is to relax more . Taking his advice the man goes to relax on a crowded beach and take in the sea air . As it turns out he couldn't have picked a worse day for a beach trip because monsters swarm out of the water and attack everyone There's something unsettling about the seashore . When I lived on the Isle of Bute I spent many a sad , lonely day trekking the coastline . There's no more beautiful sight than staring across a calm blue sea on a hot Summer day . . The opposite can hold true as well . Standing on a deserted shoreline you become aware of just how alone you are and a primeval instinctive fear overtakes you almost as if an ancient terror is about to make its presence seen , a feeling not helped if you've seen the classic DOCTOR WHO story from 1972 The Sea Devils , a story that had a much bigger impact than Spielberg's famous shark film a few years later I came in to this short thinking I'd be watching a serious horror film . The freeze frame avatar showed a bikini babe covered in blood so jumped to the conclusion this was going to be a gore-fest . Make no mistake this is gore ridden splatter-punk make up driven horror but one with its tongue very firmly in cheek . Think of the early works of Peter Jackson where you're invited and encouraged to laugh at the on screen mutilation and you've got the idea . One other work I was instantly reminded of was of another Spanish short called FIST OF Jesus and low and behold both films had the same director Adrian Cardona which comes as no great surprise since both shorts are identical in feel and execution . If you've seen either film you've seen both of them which isn't really a criticism but you would perhaps think the director might try something different in future shorts

savaloyyy what starts as a quiet day on the beach for olivares turns into a nightmare for all the other su worshippers.reminding me of an episode of Dr who for sickos this is one of the funniest gory shorts you will ever see.what makes this excellent is the contrast of the brightly lit med beach and daytime location to the extreme violence taking place.the unlikely creatures emerging from the sea make a welcome change from psycho torture porn killers,and the true hero is the nutter everyone is laughing at at the start of film.just because this is a comedy some of the effects are truly horrifying.overall anyone who loves all out splatter will love this gory masterpiece .
