Five minutes, one knife, zero survivors of dignity. The horror-comedy that subverts itself before you blink.
How hard could it be? One dark night, a masked assailant with a very large knife stalks and attacks a young couple. Only once they come face to face do predator and prey discover that the massacre won't proceed as planned. What happens next is a series of unfortunate events.
Writing
Economic storytelling that lands three jokes per minute minimum.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Manny Serrano specializes in micro-horror; this is his longest film to date at a sprawling five minutes.
The film deliberately inverts the 'final girl' trope within its first thirty seconds, making the audience complicit in their own thwarted expectations.
