Cutting Moments

Cutting Moments Daybreak is a 1997 short film written, produced and directed by Douglas Buck, in cooperation with The New School. The film was rereleased in August 2004 as part of Bucks suburban holocaust collection Family Portraits A Trilogy of America.

Anita Gates of New York Times wrote of the film scenes are almost unwatchable but have a curious, grotesque power, and of Bucks work, There is a sober intelligence behind his lowbudget gore, but its shrill excess drowns out the ring of truth. Brian Bertoldo of Film Threat wrote that the film brings the viewer into a nightmare of insanity and mutilation as a married couple come apart at the seams, and noting that while real suburbia horror is almost too common to be a horror theme, What does work is the gory execution, thats not something youll see on theoclock news.
