The Spaniard

The gladiator was quick and strong but, whether due to vanity or overconfidence, he wore no armor, choosing to face Maximus with his muscular torso fully exposed. Maximus' sword soon found an opening and he thrust his blade into the gladiator's thickly muscled bare belly. Maximus pulled his sword out and quickly thrust again, running the well-muscled gladiator through. The wounded gladiator steadied himself against the arena wall but Maximus' blade cut deep and death was only moments away.



Archers

The battle was going well for the barbarian until a Roman archer launched two arrows that pierced the barbarian's bare chest, taking him out of the battle.



Speared in the Back

The gladiator tried to escape his fate in the arena but his freedom was short lived. A Centurion's spear caught the gladiator in the back and brought him down.

Mustang Sally's House of Horror



Fubu Stabbing

Kevin had just walked in from a long night of partying. He stripped off his shirt and splashed cold water on his face at the bathroom sink. When he opened his eyes he caught a glimpse of the reflection of someone in the bathroom behind him. He turned and the stranger rammed a knife into Kevin's gut.

Fate

"Fate" is one of several short films included in Screamkings' dvd release Twisted Vol. 4 which is available for purchase at www.Screamkings.com .

"Fate" tells the story of a young man who is kidnapped and brutally killed. The kidnapper, played by great looking actor Joseph Schneider, is then haunted by his victim, played by young actor Doug Oliphant. The plot allows director Alex Pucci to indulge the viewer with the killing of Schneider several times throughout the film and in a variety of different ways. Schneider, who has a great muscular body and is shirtless for much of the film, is stabbed, shot, and strangled, and plays the death scenes very convincingly. There is a great stabbing scene with Schneider getting knifed in the belly by Oliphant and there are two terrific scenes where Schneider is shot with a gun. In both shooting scenes Oliphant pushes the muzzle of the gun into Schneider's belly and fires several times. Schneider's reaction to being shot is just great as is the expert direction and camera work of Pucci throughout "Fate."

The other shorts included in Twisted Vol. 4 were good stories but "Fate" is by far the best and makes the dvd well worth the cost.

Below are some stills of actor Joseph Schneider and a clip of the stabbing scene.






This is my re-edit of the stabbing scene.
