It's strange that some low or even no budget flicks get a good release. Gut Pile is a perfect example. It's clearly to see that indeed no budget was involved but what made it watchable was the way it was shot and edited by the director Jerry O'Sullivan.
I liked it and just for one reason. It reminded me a lot of Within The Woods (1978), the short that spawned The Evil Dead (1981). So yes it's a kind of rip-off but only in the way Sam Raimi (the director of Within The Woods) made his shots. It works but still not that much gore is seen as in Raimi's classic.
But by clocking in under 55 minutes it really never bored me. The acting was rather good. And the score use did add something to the scariness of this flick. Although it never frightened me it entertained me. Here and there a piece of soft gore and some blood here and there. If you liked Within The Woods then you will like this but if you can't stand no budget keep away from it because it looked as it was made in the eighties, no white balance, no grading afterwards...
