The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon

2008 ·10m · ★ 6.7 (152)

From Richard Gale, mad maker of CRITICIZED, comes a film that will never have you looking at cutlery the same way again. Set-up as an epic-length trailer for an upcoming release, HORRIBLY SLOW... depicts a man's endless pursuit by what has got to be one of the most determined and patient murderers the screen has ever seen.

Why it matters

A darkly comic exercise in minimalist horror that turns a single, absurd concept into relentless tension and twisted humor.

  • One of the purest demonstrations of how pacing and performance can sustain dread without elaborate effects or gore.
  • A masterclass in physical acting — the victim’s mounting frustration is as gripping as the silent assailant’s stubborn menace.
  • Perfect for fans of deadpan, concept-driven shorts that linger long after the credits roll.
  • A cheeky subversion of slasher tropes, turning the “killer chase” into a maddeningly slow, Sisyphean nightmare.
