Famine
Two years after a high-school prank involving flesh-eating acid nearly kills popular teacher Mr. Balszack, the graduating class of Sloppy Secondary holds a ’24-Hour Famine’ charity event on school grounds. But there’s an uninvited guest at this event, masquerading as the school’s handyman mascot, and he’s got an insatiable hunger of his own.
Why it matters
A grimy, small-town slasher that stokes dread through practical effects and a relentless, unhinged killer.
- Practical effects by KNB Studios give the acidic flesh-eating wounds a gruesome, tactile punch.
- Captures that claustrophobic, low-budget ‘90s slasher vibe while nodding to ’80s grindhouse gore.
- Perfect for fans of stalking killers who blend into everyday spaces—think a less polished, nastier Jason Voorhees.
- The high-school setting and charity event framing add a twisted layer of social commentary on youthful recklessness and concealed violence.
