"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.
