“A fierce homage to exploitation classics like MS. 45, ‘GET MY GUN’ boldly aligns itself
with the horror genre’s longstanding catalog of ‘rape/revenge’ films.
Writer-director, and native New Yorker, Brian Darwas takes the framework of, I
SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE, upends expectations, and introduces the stalk-and-prey
beats of the 2007 French shocker INSIDE. The final product hits like a shotgun
blast to the gut.” ~ Matt Barone (Brooklyn Horror FIlm Festival)
