“Death By 1,000 Cuts” (* out of four) was an agonizing horror psychodrama about a small-town investigator (Brett Burrier) who begins to look into the title cult in which someone would get cut 1,000 times and bleed to death and this leads him to uncovering some dark secrets of his otherwise picture-perfect Americana town. This clunker started out as a short 20-minute film and then someone got the bright idea to expand it to nearly 2 hours; if you make it to the end of this mess, it’s terrible filmmaking and acting and in-your-face unpleasantness will make you feel like you were cut multiple times. No worries; this will itself die a quick “death” at the Redbox machines.
