It's a Dayton, Ohio kill-crazy cannibal massacre!

Van Bebber here borrows liberally from the Ed Gein legend and TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE to create a short film about a TV addict cannibal man. The film starts with him butchering an animal and feasting on the raw meat as rats and mice infest his kitchen. He barfs, watches TV and goes out for human victims. What happens when he brings them back to his home shall go unmentioned here but you'll need a strong stomach. Short and gruesome, this was a fun little splatter film.
