Runtime 3 minutes 11 seconds
Written and directed by Jon and James Kondelik, M is for Masochist stars Bill Oberst Jr. as a carnival barker who lures marks to a game called The Masochist. A person is strapped to a large wheel hanging from a wall and you can use any weapon available. You make the person bleed and the more blood you spill, the more you can win. Three boys step up to take their turns, only to find that the masochist in question is a person of interest to one of the teens.
One of the short films in the running for a slot in the ABCs of Death 2, Oberst does a fantastically creepy carnival barker. The story is a good one, begging the question “what would you do if you could get some measure of revenge”?
The Special Effects are well done, as is the directing and acting and it has a nice suitably dark atmosphere. M is for Masochist is an original and intriguing little film.
