Brutal (2008 film)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable orphaned amateur film. The film was screened locally in 2008 but was never widely distributed. Non-notable per WP:NF since it meets none of the criteria; should it be widely released at some point, it may meet criterion #1 but it's unlikely to satisfy any of the rest of the criteria since it would have to either win awards or become historically significant.

Delete. I pretty much echo everything as above per the nom. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 15:46, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It also managed to garner a review on a specialty site but I don't see this film meeting any of our notability criteria. -- Whpq (talk) 17:08, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The currently unsourced article makes reference to a review and interview in Fangoria, mention that it was written up by Horror Society Film Festival.... and apart from the non RS JobLo, it did receive other coverage... Express Milwaukee, On Milwaukee 1, On Milwaukee 2, reviews at such genre sites as Horror Society, and listings at such as Fantastiquezine (French) and Cinema Horror (Italian). I believe that for a low-budget indie horror film, it has received more than might be expected. I'm gonna go have a hand at cleaning it up and sourcing. Back in a bit.

Weak delete Reporting back. I gave the article some much-needed cleanup and sourcing. The Fangoria link is dead. If someone can find the reviews and interviews and add then as sources it might squeek by as a weak keep. Note the filmaker's Myspace [1] indicates that the film has screened and at multiple festivals, but I cannot confirm this. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 00:20, 12 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per two full profiles used by the article, plus other evidence of notability mentioned by User:MichaelQSchmidt.--Pink Bull 20:46, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete per MQS above. In the absence of other indicia of notability, I don't think that the sources are enough. They are quite close, but I don't see that they clear the bar of multiple, non-trivial, independent and reliable. Eluchil404 (talk) 02:39, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
