Combat Shock
Directed by Buddy Giovinazzo
This low-budget cult classic follows a Vietnam veteran's slow descent into madness after failing to adjust to life upon returning home. Writer/director/producer Buddy Giovinazzo made his indelible debut with this nihilistic saga of Vietnam vet Frankie's (Ricky Giovinazzo) desperate pursuit to save his family from the horrors of poverty and urban squalor. Culminating in one of the most brutal climaxes ever committed to celluloid, this unforgiving masterwork remains as controversial, disturbing and relevant as it was at the height of Reagan's America. Contains violence and gore.

Bloody hell.
I dont even know man... This is a dirty ass film. The ending is fucked.
Gnarly, dirty, gritty and disgustingly depressing. It like an even more demented Jacob's Ladder. That baby was a x between eraserhead and Peter Jackson's Braindead baby.
Holy Shit dude that ending! WOW
Bizarre and disturbing.
