Famine

2011 · 77 min

A gleefully nasty, low-budget slasher that mixes over-the-top gore with crude, absurd humour for a trashy, fast-paced thrill.

Tagline: Thirty students. Twenty-four hours. Zero survivors.
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Dark, campy, absurd and satirical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Revenge, betrayal, violence, death
Content: Strong violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
