About Buzzard (2015): A Slacker's Descent into Detroit's Neon Underworld
Buzzard (2015) drops us into the mind of Marty, a disheveled slacker whose life spirals when paranoia convinces him his small-town grift has run its course. Fleeing to the grimy streets of Detroit with nothing but fake checks, a defiant Power Glove, and a short fuse, he's a walking powder keg of deadpan menace and misplaced confidence. Joel Potrykus crafts a darkly comic nightmare where every gesture feels like a misfire and every stranger a potential threat, blending raw indie energy with the off-kilter intensity of horror-metal antiheroes.
Marty's chaotic quest for survival—both financial and physical—unfolds against a backdrop of decay and desperation, where even the simplest transactions feel like traps. Bursting with offbeat charm and unnerving tension, Buzzard (2015) is a low-budget gut-punch that's equal parts character study and anti-adventure, proving that sometimes the scariest place to hide is right under your own skin.
