Helter Skelter (2018)
Overview
"Inspired by Martin Scorsese's 1967 shocking short The Big Shave—an unflinching body-horror that metaphorically criticized America's involvement in the Vietnam War—London-born directors Noah Lee and Danny Lee set out to create their own interpretation of the scene, enlisting Palo Alto star Jack Kilmer to play the role of the 'shaver.' The young man's self-mutilation draws creatively on Scorsese's original bloodbath, while pushing the act in a wholly new direction." - NOWNESS
