He Took His Skin Off For Me (short)
This short film has more going on the most full features and successfully combines elements of romantic drama with full on gore. If you can call it gore, since it is so straight forward. It’s a huge tribute to classic body horror films like The Thing and The Fly but at the same time feels…
