Slow independent film sees two become fascinated with a snuff films. These are shown briefly and are odd and disturbing without becoming grotesque. Neither man seems stable prior to this, but then they both become more unstable after joining together to watch these films. There is some semblance of "who's doing this?" But that mystery isn't fully developed. One man is a family man, and he seems to be disturbed after watching these as now his world is too quiet, too dull given the impact of death and blood have had on him. Overall, that is the extent of this film. Poor production quality, poor plot development, no real tension or suspense. Just two men displaying the boredom of their lives and their descent into the grotesque for stimulation rather than trying to develop anything in their existence. Sad film that brings nothing much to this type of film.

Do not watch this movie. It's pretty gross/ graphic and there's a ton of un needed nudity (not in a good way). Every time the main actor got out of bed I was getting sick from seeing his saggy butt. The camera comes close over and over from actually showing his junk (I don't think they ever did). The plot is sad. I wanted to like this movie bit it's really really bad.

You have to endure a lot until the movie actually delivers. Which is the loaded end, that is really suspenseful and might keep you on the edge of your seat. If you let it, of course, because you might be so annoyed by that point that you don't care anymore. It's not only the "worst decision" possible thing, that brings the movie down, it's the essence that seems to be missing (would have worked a lot better as a short movie or with a better worked out script). As it is, the end might leave you with a gut pun(ch), but not really satisfied. The acting isn't really good, the dialog either, nudity will either be considered positive or negative in your book, depends on you. Overall a decent first time effort, if you don't have anything against small budget (looking and feeling) movies

GUT is a disturbing little thriller that occasionally overcomes the homemade look and feel to offer something a bit different. It's an extremely dark film about an ordinary couple of guys whose lives are changed when they view a bit of disturbing video footage, a viewing that will have huge implications for the pair of them. This film mixes together a disquieting atmosphere with a snippet or two of extreme gore for effect. As an independent production it suffers from the usual gamut of bad acting and the fact that it's stuck inside a single apartment for the most part, a pity when the filmmakers had the chance to explore the whole of New York. However, it does manage to be realistic and it does have a decent twist ending; it's just a pity that the problems override the good stuff come the end.

GUTS is the type of independent movies you do not expect a lot and end up getting really hooked into it. Two friends; one of them in the middle of a crisis and the other a lonely (and a little wacko) get obsessed with some snuff videos; and things start getting ugly. It is important to note; the good taste and quality filming of the bloody scenes; that reach the desired effects without becoming a gore feast. As interesting as things become; the script is not developed enough to fill 90 minutes; so there are many over extended scenes and an irregular pace. The small groups of characters; is intimately presented; but their particular conducts or problems never fully explained; thus reaching a tragic but ambiguous conclusion not completely satisfactory in my personal opinion. In brief; defects apart; the film is worth watching and the director is one to follow up.

Hello, everyone! If all you horror buffs out there are on the prowl for the kind of interesting, compelling, and innovative horror-thriller that really isn't made anymore, that dares to *involve* the viewer in its horror (and not just splay it all out there graphically for the viewer to revel in), then "Gut" is absolutely the perfect movie for you! :) It's a terrific socio-psych horror film...think of it as "Fargo" with a Todd Solondz spin for the first half (with all the occasional dark humor that implies), with really great character development and humor, and an building sense of ambiguous mood/dread throughout (with Kubrick-esque sound design) that leaves your mind racing faster and faster. It has a Western/Jarmusch-esque alternation of quick cuts and long takes, but never in like a distancing or showstopping sort of way like Michael Haneke. And to top it all off, the underlying issues/theme of the movie are always clear and 100% relatable, about the neediness and isolated dependency and suppressed hostility of American suburbia, and the arrested development and uncommunicativeness that can result. The plot may revolve around snuff films, that is true (only VERY rarely seen on screen in slivers), but the film is REALLY about all the suppressed emotions and urges that get manifested *through* them. If you like movies like "Fight Club" and "Cape Fear", but on a smaller, more human indie-horror scale, this is most definitely the movie for you! Enjoy, everyone! :)

Takes forever for anything to actually happen and it is so predictable. You may find yourself skipping parts of the film as did i to get into the parts where something was actually happening and even then it wasn't anything special and it was confusing. The film is about two men that watch a horror film about a girl that gets her stomach sliced open, they then get hooked on the film and are influenced by it. It is unrealistic and contains unnecessary nudity. Reminds me of a film that would be made for a school project. I defiantly wouldn't recommend this film to anyone don't waste your time or money. It contained poor acting and overall a poor and slightly weird film. Waste of an hour and a half.
