When violent media, handguns and nihilism are ubiquitous, who fears the Reaper? In the tradition of E.C. Horror Comics, this cautionary tale examines life through the eyes of Death who gets derailed when an impatient single Mom carelessly mistakes the scythe-carrying cloaked one for her tardy babysitter and leaves Death to care for her precocious 9-year-old daughter for the evening. Whitney teaches Death about life's many marvels through violent video games, macaroni & cheese, and the magic of Sea Munkees. But when Whitney reveals some dark tendencies of her own, it's up to Death to lighten things up before returning to the grim duties that lie in wait.
Written/directed by Devi Snively, produced by Greg Reeves and Heather Smith, starring Marina Benedict, Tom Burke, Brittany Carson, with Kylie Chalfa as Whitney.
I liked the comment "...and let's face it, any movie that has a murderous nine-year-old wielding a Walther PPK against her own mother is pretty badass."
The part where mommy hurriedly rushes Death in and hands her money to babysit her kid was great. And the brief segments of little Whitney playing uber-violent video games was hilarious! And the grading? Murderocity, sadism, indifference.

Can anyone get it and post it into emule or something else? JDownloader 2 doesn't let me download anything where you have to login to prove your age.

That is annoying that both JD2 and yt-dlp have crapped out once again on downloading videos that require a login. I used https://9xbuddy.com/ to download the 1080p, because I could not justify using TEN TIMES the size for the 2160p. Maybe that is a 9xbuddy glitch, I don't know, but I was fine with the 1080p for a short... which I have not watched yet. [EDIT: watched 2 hours later.] If someone else wants to Release the 4k version, please do!
I'd watch this movie on youtube with the link above if I could.. but I have no way of verifying my age at the moment
Someone mind downloading the video for me?
(Mega link above is dead)

New, LIVE Mega link in my post now.
I am waiting for the politicians desperate to "protect the children" to get around to forcing me to prove that my Gmail account is owned by someone over 18 -- when the Gmail account itself is over 18 years old!

even a gmail account over 12 years old should prove anyone is 18. No-one who's 6 is creating a gmail account!

We all know age verification is a big tech scam. More tracking and data mining. I've had a YouTube account since 2007 and they still won't let me log in anymore without sending them ID "proving my age". Gotta be at least 19 if I opened the account when I was an infant. Right? Because babies do that sort of thing all the time. Absolute bullshit. They want to associate my video viewing and other browsing with a confirmed individual rather than just an IP or an email address. Fuck 'em. I watch the videos anonymously now without being signed in. They do so much censorship that not being able to watch 18+ flagged content is no big deal.

Yeah, sorry but no matter how trustworthy the company is, I will NEVER share any personal ID online
Like, some companies mentions that the personal information will be instantly deleted once verification is proven but the big question is.. Is this really believable
