Fantastic!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

"Brutal Relax" is a Spanish 15-minute horror comedy short film from 2010 that includes virtually no dialogue at all though, so you won't need subtitles, even if you don't speak Spanish. Sound effects and music (an English song) are far more dominant here. I am surprised to see how many people wrote and directed this fairly short film about a man who just wants to enjoy his summer holidays away from his stressful worklife at home, but the one thing he did not expect were the undead invading the beach where he is residing. Oh well.. a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do right? Especially if it is such a hunk like José María Angorrilla. Maybe Spaniards will know some actors here, but I really didn't. The trashiness of the entire thing perfectly symbolized by the kissing girl near the end is sometimes worth seeing, but also only for so many minutes and the film we have here certainly isn't finding the right balance with regards to anything. Or maybe it is simply the wrong season to watch it I'm not sure. I was not as well-entertained here as I hoped I would, even if the main character is kinda fun and makes it okay at times. All in all, a thumbs-down. Watch something else instead.

Saw this recently at Goregasmic Cinema. I wasn't looking for a horror short but watched it anyway since I'd been looking at a lot of subversive horror shorts recently by Nikk Zedd and others. A lot more money was spent on this one, though, and you can tell. The frantic editing pace must've been where the bulk of the budget went...and you can tell. It's actually quite well done. It's probably a good idea that the sea monsters only bled green. An excesses of red blood probably would've rendered this movie unwatchable.There were some funny bits interspersed with the horror and I definitely see these guys being tasked to create a full length comedy-horror movie (if they haven't been already). I also liked that catchy little "Summer Summer Time" tune that plays throughout. A horror short with a soundtrack. Kind of like "Thriller" on steroids. Watch it. It'll 15 minutes of your time well spent.

what starts as a quiet day on the beach for olivares turns into a nightmare for all the other su worshippers.reminding me of an episode of Dr who for sickos this is one of the funniest gory shorts you will ever see.what makes this excellent is the contrast of the brightly lit med beach and daytime location to the extreme violence taking place.the unlikely creatures emerging from the sea make a welcome change from psycho torture porn killers,and the true hero is the nutter everyone is laughing at at the start of film.just because this is a comedy some of the effects are truly horrifying.overall anyone who loves all out splatter will love this gory masterpiece .

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
