CHOPPING BLOCK

Cinemavixion Review

In "Chopping Block," director Joshua Hull crafts a darkly comedic horror flick that plunges into the desperate measures of recently laid-off corporate employees. When a group of them opts for a kidnapping scheme to extort their former boss, they unwittingly stumble into a far more terrifying situation. Their target, it turns out, is the sole survivor of a brutal encounter with a masked psychopath, who is still very much on the loose and seeking more victims. The film promises a chaotic blend of "hilarity & bloodshed," as the synopsis suggests, setting the stage for a genre mashup that leans into both the absurdity of the premise and the visceral thrills of a slasher. Starring Jasper Lewis and Haley Madison, "Chopping Block" aims to deliver a unique take on familiar horror tropes, juxtaposing corporate ennui with extreme violence. While critical reception and awards information are not readily available, the film's intriguing premise and blend of comedy and horror warrant a look for fans seeking something off the beaten path in the independent horror scene.
