Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

I never thought a movie on one person beating another permanently with a spoon could be so compelling. well.. I was wrong. I watched it the second time today and, admittedly, it lost a bit on rewatch, was far more entertaining the first time I saw it, but it's still an entertaining ten minutes.A strange, immortal emo character that remotely resembles the killer from the Scray Movie franchise keeps hitting a random guy with a spoon. Attempts in seeking help from other people, such as police, doctors or girlfriends end up equally unsuccessful as brute force. Shooting the follower does nothing and neither does cutting his throat. He travels to deserts, ice deserts, underwater, but the culprit stays relentless. So, all he can do for the terror to stop is wait until the spoon breaks to end the misery. Or will it? This short film has turned into some kind of cult movie over the last 5 years, so I'm a bit surprised the director hasn't made a full feature yet, obviously not on this matter (that would really drag it), but some goofy stupid comedy on any other issue. And he could always use a cameo to include the horribly slow murderer with the extremely inefficient weapon.

I was just looking at some movie news stuff when I saw the link to watch this short film. I had no idea what to expect since I had never heard of this hilarious short film. Luckily I clicked on that link and later, I found myself laughing my head off during and after watching The Horribly Slow Murderer. The plot is so simple yet, since it is made to be so exaggerated, it is so funny. I also love the little extras on the YouTube channel and website too, especially Spoon vs Spoon and Save Jack Use a Giant Magnet and Wear Protective Clothing and the Save Jack intro. I waited the entire 19 minutes that the intro took to play and there was not one second where I wasn't laughing out loud. It was just that funny. I would recommend this to anyone who likes horror movies, parodies, comedy, and people who can take a good joke again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again. You'll know what I mean when I use all of those again's when you see this hilarious short film

A hilarious short that is not to be missed, with many laugh out loud gags.Following his other excellent short CRITICIZED, The Horribly Slow Murderer with the Extremely Inefficient Weapon, takes it's one main gag and finds ingenious ways to keep the laughs coming...It is also very well shot, and shows that a lot can be achieved with just sheer imagination and hard work instead of money (the film was made for under $1000, which is amazing!)I hope to be seeing Richard Gale's twisted sense of humor in a feature very soon.

I saw this short at Fantastic Fest, and me and a friend of mine could not stop laughing. And did not until the end of the next short, which was a bit rude I suppose, but we couldn't help it. The concept reminded me of the Family Guy system of joke, in which you beat it to death (literally) until it's funny again...only in this, they go further than anything I've ever seen with that concept, and it just keeps getting funnier as they come up crazier scenarios that would obviously have to take place over the course of a 10 year murder.If you are anywhere and this is playing. You need to make it a priority.I need a copy of it!
