Ribspreader

About This Movie

Ribspreader is this oddball blend of comedy and horror that really knows how to ride that thin line between laughter and gore. The tone is pretty campy but manages to pack in some surprisingly dark themes, especially around addiction and loss. The practical effects are a delightful throwback, with some creative kills that feel both grotesque and oddly humorous. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to the chaotic vibe. Bryan Burns, the lead, delivers a performance that’s equal parts tragic and absurd. The talking cigarette is a bizarre touch that really reflects the absurdity of his downward spiral. You won’t forget the Ribspreader in a hurry, that's for sure.
