Rufus ("Freeway" Ricky Ross) might not have made much out of himself, spending most of his nights on a streetcorner desperate for company, but he sure knows a lot of stories he's willing to share with whoever lends him an ear:

• There's the story of morgue attendant Stanley (Angelo Moore), who injures his hand while taking care of a notorious serialkiller and the killer's blood gets mixed in with his - abd ever since, his hand feels the urge to do evil things ...
• There's naive actress Emily (Debra Haden), who's just too happy to land a part in a play on her first day in the big city that she neglects to notice both cast and crew might not have her best interests in mind ...
• There's also a story about a dog with a not very dog-like face ...
• ... and one about domestic terrorists using explosive dolls.
• And finally, there's the story of Amos (David Scott Greene) and Pini (Princess Frank), two hospital patients who've been in a vegetative state for so long, they were handed over to Doctor Saul (Spookey Ruben) and his assistant Ruth (Jennifer Drake) for experimentation. Only Amos and Pini, who can talk to one another telepathically, don't like this very much - but the state they're in, there's little they can do. Enter new nurse Luciana (Annalisa Guidone), who's secretly also Amos's girlfriend and who has telepathic powers - and he has come to free the man of her life ...

Watching Rufus, one can't shake the feeling one's in two movies, one is a collection of shorts of the welcomely old-fashioned variety - you know, compact macabre stories with a surprise twist -,while the last segment is a narratively rather complex featurette featuring some batshit crazy ideas and (intentionally) ridiculous dialogue, all carried by decidedly weird humour that's much less reliant on its finale than thestory preceding it. The good thing here is the filmmaker proves to have a steady hand in both and basically just manages to feliver a really fun piece of horror cinema.
