Pairs well with: the 2004 Punisher movie with Thomas Jane, as well as other Punisher movies and the Netflix television show.It’s been quite a while but we’re back with a new short film review on #ShortMovieMonday! This one is a little bit different for ScareTissue as it’s not really a “horror” property, but today I’ll be covering the 2012 “fan film” The Punisher: Dirty Laundry. I’ve linked to the entire short film below. This was competently shot, fantastically written, perfectly acted and even if the gunshot effects weren’t perfect, it didn’t wreck the satisfying feeling you get in your gut seeing The Punisher turn vigilante, once again. Still, it’s something I’d love to see and I hope that the right people can get involved and just give us a full-length film with Jane, front and center, bringing justice to more scumbags. There has been talks about another one of these fan films in the future but it’s been quite some time since this one came out. In fact, this made me want a proper sequel more than I ever thought I did. And if this film does anything, it proves that point pretty definitively. Tom Jane, once again, proved that he was the perfect Frank Castle. The Punisher: Dirty Laundry didn’t just succeed in what it set out to do, it exceeded it. No, it doesn’t feature great amateur special effects or costumes like some of the other impressive comic book fan movies out there, it just features a solid actor that loves his role, a second solid actor that turned it up to eleven and a filmmaking crew that understood the source material and authentically tries to both build off of it and compliment it. Dirty Laundry packs a solid f’n punch and it is hands down, one of the best fan films ever made.


The difference was, a little girl back there.” – Big Mikeįor just a ten minute movie, this delivers the tension, suspense and incredibly badass payoff that is usually reserved for a regular feature length film. “Couple of years back, that was me standing right where you are now, looking out that door.
