It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This total gem of a horror short may be a mere quarter of an hour in length but it's so big and packed with mad stuff that it has the feel of a damn safari, a real freaking trek, and a great one! It takes but a few minutes to get going(whatever doesn't?) and then it becomes a complete blast, with some of the most hilarious and colourful gore-gags and insane action that I've ever seen in a horror short, and most horror movies for that matter.. Okay, so the plot, or lack thereof, and concept and setup of it is so simple, but in this instance such macabre genius and hilarity itself. It's all about one Mr. "Olivares", a pretty much ordinary-looking mustachioed Joe who is a recently discharged psychiatric patient, who is advised by his nervous doctor to avoid any stress at all costs and to take a nice vacation somewhere where he can unwind, and wouldn't you just know it, the one idyllic beach that he chooses to relax at just happens to be invaded by scores of some kinda bloodthirsty green sea zombies which look like something out of the old Scooby-Doo cartoon, and they immediately get to tearing the helpless sunbathers to bits, and Mr. Olivares during the middle of all this, he is seemingly oblivious to the havoc unfolding around him, or perhaps because he's not quite all there in the head he doesn't care too much, as some of them were kind of assholes to him earlier - but what does cause him to snap and become a one-man zombie killing machine, is when his beloved Walkman cassette player breaks down, at which point he unleashes the beast and launches an all-out assault against the offending slimy sea-scourge and the short becomes a complete lunatic gore-fest! And he is seriously mad, no not just angry, as in "as a Hatter". He proves to be quite the artiste when it comes to the fine technique of bodily destruction, and a way more vicious monster than the actual monsters are! In fact, post-credits you can see that he's erected an impressive monument out of all the leftover monster parts! Heads are splattered, limbs are torn off and used as battering implements(a classic!), and perhaps best of all the bloody skeleton of a child is used in a nun-chuck-like fashion to combat the ghoulish hordes! It's amazingly gross, and to top it all off, it has an absurdly-cute ending where after everything that happens there's just one beautiful girl left alive and he steps up to her and she leans over to kiss him for saving her life I guess, but he only wants her to take some souvenir snap-shots as, bloodbath or not, he continues to enjoy his jolly-holiday! Last damn thing that I expected to happen.. I love how there's stuff going on constantly in the background of every scene. And it's really beautifully shot too, with the ever-present gorgeous backdrop of the sea contrasting crazily with all the carnage and adding to the bizarre appeal of it. Outrageously entertaining and infectiously exuberant, it all adds up to one perfect storm of ridiculousness, and is a tour-de-force of bad taste horror done good. It never takes itself seriously, and I can seriously appreciate that. Salut, what a romp!!!

A man goes to his doctor and told what he needs in life is to relax more . Taking his advice the man goes to relax on a crowded beach and take in the sea air . As it turns out he couldn't have picked a worse day for a beach trip because monsters swarm out of the water and attack everyone There's something unsettling about the seashore . When I lived on the Isle of Bute I spent many a sad , lonely day trekking the coastline . There's no more beautiful sight than staring across a calm blue sea on a hot Summer day . . The opposite can hold true as well . Standing on a deserted shoreline you become aware of just how alone you are and a primeval instinctive fear overtakes you almost as if an ancient terror is about to make its presence seen , a feeling not helped if you've seen the classic DOCTOR WHO story from 1972 The Sea Devils , a story that had a much bigger impact than Spielberg's famous shark film a few years later I came in to this short thinking I'd be watching a serious horror film . The freeze frame avatar showed a bikini babe covered in blood so jumped to the conclusion this was going to be a gore-fest . Make no mistake this is gore ridden splatter-punk make up driven horror but one with its tongue very firmly in cheek . Think of the early works of Peter Jackson where you're invited and encouraged to laugh at the on screen mutilation and you've got the idea . One other work I was instantly reminded of was of another Spanish short called FIST OF Jesus and low and behold both films had the same director Adrian Cardona which comes as no great surprise since both shorts are identical in feel and execution . If you've seen either film you've seen both of them which isn't really a criticism but you would perhaps think the director might try something different in future shorts

What to say? ♫ Summer, summer time ♫ was a lot of fun! If you like this battery-less, angry psycho and unintended avenger, you are on a fifteen minute, vacation trip! Just beware, that limbs will be ripped off left and right, and decease youngster's body will be used as weapon of green destruction, along with skulls being encrusted and taken out of the flesh like batteries on a defunct Walkman, as weird as it is this short is worth what a two hour movie sometimes is not, who needs character development when the first minute reveals "our hero" with that cuckoo's mile? So get your swimming suit, and watch from the distance, while Mr. Olivares finish off the bloody, sub-humans whom probably are related to Aquaman!

If you are looking for a fun little (in running time only) movie to watch, you don't have to look any further. While the title can be seen literally, you obviously have to have a heart for horror comedy. Though the comedy aspect of it is still pretty brutal. We're talking about things happening here, that quite a few might not be able to stomach at all.The effects are great and the actors are "convincing" for what they have to achieve. You might call this "overkill" sometimes (no pun intended), but then again, it still can pull it off and not be boring in any way. Watch it and enjoy
