Roadkill: The Last Days of John Martin

This fourteen minute short was in the extras on Arrow's excellent blu-ray release of Jim Van Bebber's cult classic "Deadbeat by Dawn" (1988) and for a change he does not play a lead role. Instead Mark Gillespie, who also co-wrote, plays John Martin. He is a heavy drinker who lives in appalling squalor and butchers roadkill and eats the meat raw! He offers to help a couple when their car breaks down but instead of taking them to the nearest garage he kidnaps them. The man is stripped naked (full frontal nudity) and is very graphically butchered, the girl is topless and put into a small cage. Real roadkill was used for filming, be warned! The bizarre and abrupt ending is a little disappointing but otherwise if you want blood and guts then this has it by the bucket load!
