Headless is a 2015 American horror film directed by Arthur Cullipher. It is based on the film within a film from the 2012 horror film Found.[1] [2] The film was funded by donors from Kickstarter,[3] and the first festival screening was in February 2015 in Indianapolis.[4]
In this "lost slasher film from 1978," a masked killer wages an unrelenting spree of murder, cannibalism, and necrophilia. But when his tortured past comes back to haunt him, he plunges to even greater depths of madness and depravity, consuming the lives of a young woman and those she holds dear.

HorrorNews.net awarded the film score of 4.5 out of 5, with the reviewer calling it "the most intensely disturbing film I’ve seen since Found".[5] PopHorror.com wrote, "While Headless might prove a bit too much for some viewers, those in the market for more extreme and depraved fare will do themselves a disservice if they pass [it] up."[6] Richard Taylor from Severed Cinema awarded the film 4/5 stars, calling it "one of the top horror movies of the year" while noting that it "gasses out a bit by the time the final act rolls out".[7]
