Episode 24: “A Bloodstained Butterfly”
A Bloodstained Butterfly is a short no-budget love letter to the video nasty. What’s a video nasty you ask? Remember those exploitation films from the 70s, 80s, and early 90s? No? Well, it’s one of those, and this short films falls right in line in terms of style and substance. One of filmmaker David McCool’s first shorts, the film closely follows the cliches and rules of the genre. Matt and I discuss whether that adds to or distracts from the film. Let us know what you think.
