Chop is a low-budget horror film from 2011 that follows the story of Lance Reed (played by Will Keenan), a man who wakes up in a filthy bathtub with a strange mark on his neck. He has no recollection of how he got there, but soon realizes he's been kidnapped by a deranged serial killer who's chosen Lance to be his next victim. As the movie progresses, we see that the killer is a sadistic, psychologically disturbed man who takes pleasure in torturing his victims before killing them. He's obsessed with perfection, always seeking to create the perfect kill, and he sees Lance as his latest test subject.
The majority of the movie takes place in the killer's underground lair, which is littered with torture instruments, human remains and an eerie bathhouse where the killer keeps his victims prisoner. The interaction between Lance and the killer is tense and disturbing, with the killer constantly trying to break Lance's spirit and push him to the brink of insanity.
Despite the limited budget and amateurish acting, the film manages to create an intense and claustrophobic atmosphere that keeps the viewer on edge throughout. The use of practical effects and makeup also adds a level of realism to the film, making some of the more graphic and violent scenes difficult to watch.
The story is a bit predictable, and there are some flat moments throughout that feel unnecessary, but the film still manages to build an intriguing narrative that keeps the audience engaged. The final act of the film takes some surprising turns, leading to a conclusion that is both satisfying and unexpected.
Overall, Chop isn't a film for everyone, but horror fans and those who enjoy low-budget, indie films will find something to appreciate here. It's a disturbing and uncomfortable film that will push your limits, but it's also a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness of the filmmakers.
Chop is a 2010 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 38 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.5.
