Director Paul Solet made a lot of fans with his effective dead baby shocker Grace, which premiered at Sundance this year. Now he’s taking part in a short film project by Hatchet director Adam Green. The result is Jack Chop, an infomercial selling a useful and dangerous bit of Halloween gadgetry. Watch it after the break. But be warned, in addition to being fairly tasteless (that’s a compliment!) this is pretty NSFW if you’re stuck in a workplace that doesn’t approve of copious blood and screamed profanity.

This is basically the product of friends who’ve got access to some effects and a total lack of respect for the human body. Solet looks like he’s having a great time as he puts the Jack Chop through its paces, and it does the same to him.

More than anything else here, I love Solet’s fahkin’ lampooning of his fahkin’ Boston background. (Green is also a Massachusetts guy.) “With the Jack Chop, you can have a real pumpkin and be the baddest dude in Revere!” Or the kicker: “But you gotta watch out, because some pumpkins…are queer!” I can’t tell you the number of times people tried to tell me that in my old Somerville neighborhood.

    Ahhh....Grace really didn't do it for me, and now I hate the director. This is like that shit that Will Sasso did on Mad TV.
  • RussFischer
    Hate? Seriously? It's just a gag. Don't like it? No problem. But hate him? That's a little extreme.
  • cmculver
    This is awesome!

    Justin- if you're gonna "hate" on someone- hate on Adam Green. He's the one who came up with the whole thing, wrote it, and directed it, and told Paul what to do and how to act. Personally, I think it's incredibly cool that Green has made these little Halloween shorts for the web every year for 15 years as a gift to his fans and if you look at the hits they get (Saber is at 1,000,000 or so) I'd say they are pretty well loved. Jack Chop is hilarious and I think Grace was awesome, too. Go Solet! Go Green! Finally some horror folks who give a damn.

    Every line until he stabs himself with the pumpkin-stand is genius. It goes downhill from there.
