Chop

About This Movie

So, 'Chop' from 2011 is this bizarre mix of comedy, horror, and thriller that's kind of hard to pin down. You’ve got Lance Reed, a guy with a messy past, who finds himself at the mercy of a really unhinged stranger. The pacing is interesting—sort of a slow burn that gradually ramps up the tension as Lance is forced to spill his secrets, all while the dude starts taking limbs. The practical effects are pretty gritty, which gives it that raw feel. It plays with dark humor that doesn’t always land, but when it does, it’s pretty sharp. The performances, especially that of the antagonist, add a nice layer of unsettling charm that lingers. It's definitely not your run-of-the-mill horror flick.
