This blast of Giallo and absurdity lives in the aptly titled short film, Fck’n Nuts. The first thing I noticed was the blast of colors reminiscent of the Adam West/Batman television series or an EC Horror comic printed on glossy paper.

The film follows Sandy (Maddie Nichols; The Boogeyman), dressed like she fell out of Barbie or the "little pale girl" from the beginning of Terrifier 2, depending on how you look at it. She reluctantly realizes that she must break up with her boyfriend Dan (Vincent Stalba). Odd parental dialogue is heard, sounding common with a tinge of strangeness to the tone.

Sandy is shocked when Dan shows up to profess his love despite repeated statements to never come to the house because parents are “fucking nuts’. Dan doesn’t care and in fact says that to Sandy so many times that, through a tear-streaked face, she vomits on the family porch. Dan calmly smooths or ‘squirrels it away’ and sits down to profess his sophistication in knowing wine. He will meet Sandy's parents no matter what she says. Moving into the home, the couple hears rustling, and Sandy’s parents utter happy phrases for a visitor finally coming to see them. What could go wrong?

Dan is confronted with something he didn’t quite expect. He wasn’t barking up the wrong tree, what he confronts could make anyone scamper along a power line. The gore and peanutty feel of the screams make this a surreal trip.

Fck'n Nuts is like sequences from the original Beetlejuice and a dash of the puppet horror feature Abruptio minus the gore. Madness in the method like being trapped in the deranged world of Willie Wonka, the literary L. Frank Baum, and an out-of-control cotton candy machine.
