Brothers

After his younger brother goes behind his back and tells his girlfriend that he's been cheating on her, the oldest brother takes revenge on his two siblings and gets even by killing them both. He surprises one with a tight rope around the neck and strangles the life out of him. The youngest of the brothers gets what he deserves when his older brother beats him up and crushes his throat. Not able to live with the guilt of killing the only family he has left, the oldest brother takes his own life and hangs himself.

Directed by Alex Pucci, Brothers leans on a strong ensemble — Jon Rodriguez, Chris Gouchoe, Mackson Acordi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 2009.
