I've always wondered what happens after a slasher murders their victim and the crime scene cleanup guys show up. What must it be like to show up to clean all the blood, eyeballs, gristle and gore? I Must Fall (originally One Must Fall) is the first film from Antonio Pantoja and it answers that question.
When Sarah - joined by her best friend and roommate Alton - quits her job rather than sleep with her boss, she ends up working cleanup after a gory series of murders. But has the killer left the building? We wouldn't have a movie if they did.
While the film calls up all of the slasher moments that we know and love, I really enjoyed how the killer (Barry Piacente) sees what he is doing as a holy mission, even allowing a character to pray to God to have someone rescue him, giving fate the opportunity to turn things around.
This is also a movie that does not skimp on the gore or on the damage to its leads. I was shocked by some of what happens in this movie and - spoiler - cheered on the close, as Sarah returns to get revenge on the boss who caused so much of her trauma.
Most modern slashers are quite frankly worthless. I found a fair deal to enjoy here, which is high praise.

Not bad
But... But... It was essentially just pointless...
What did I just sit through?
"One Must Fall" is listed as a horror comedy on IMDb, but you are in for surprisingly little of both horror and comedy when you sit through this 2018 movie from writer and director Antonio Pantoja.
The storyline was essentially rubbish, and I must admit that I zoned out of it about halfway through. Nothing in the movie appealed to me. But still, I was waiting for the horror and the comedy. In vain, I might add.
The acting in the movie was adequate. I enjoy watching new and unfamiliar faces on the screen, and that was given here in abundance. It was a shame that the actors and actresses virtually had nothing - as in literally nothing - to work with in terms of a proper script and storyline here. I can't really point out any performance as being more memorable than the other, sadly so.
I can't recommend that you spend your time, money or effort on "One Must Fall". Some of us suffered through this rubbish, so you don't have to.
My rating of "One Must Fall" is a generous two out of ten stars, solely based on the production value the movie had. Granted, not every movie is targeted for each and every one in the audience, and "One Must Fall" was definitely not winning me over. This was a massive swing and a miss.
Just painful
So my head still hurts... some reviews said the "Definitely deserves the awards it's won" ,, unfortunately I googled this after I watched the movie ,, It turns out it won best poster in Terror in the Bay Film Festival , which god knows if it's a real festival or not .
The movie has a plot that is all over the place, the acting was so bad and the graphics were like the cheapest I've ever seen.
I don't think I need to say more ,, I don't really have the will to .. so my last advice is ... Avoid at all costs beacause you'll get a bad headache.
