"Pumpkin Guts is a razor-sharp revival of the slasher genre, blending visceral terror with haunting nostalgia. Bold and unapologetic, this short film carves its own gory path, leaving a trail of blood-soaked brilliance. Prepare for a modern horror classic that grips you and never lets go. Writer/Director R.J. De León Vega is destined to be the next big name in the genre."
