It was announced earlier this month that James Wan (Saw, Insidious) is set to produce a feature film adaptation of the Mortal Kombat video games, which has the potential to be something really special. The two 90s films were both PG-13, and I can only hope that the franchise’s return to the big screen is a bit, well, gorier.

The Mortal Kombat games have always known for their brutal violence, and this year’s Mortal Kombat X is no exception. In fact, it’s the most graphic Mortal Kombat game of them all, home to the goriest Fatalities you could possibly imagine – and you can watch a video compilation of ’em all in the iHorror Vault.

While we wait to find out if the Mortal Kombat reboot is as violent as the latest game, a few fans have just taken upon it themselves to make a live-action film of their own. Simply titled Real Life Mortal Kombat Fatalities, the short brings the game’s violence into the real world, and the results are hilarious and gruesome.

Directed and edited by Danny & Michael Philippou, the film has a very simple premise, centered on two friends talking about Mortal Kombat X. When one remarks that the game’s Fatalities are unrealistic, the other sets out to recreate them in real life – and things get absolutely bonkers from there.

Check out the awesome short below, which packs more gore into a few minutes than most horror movies have in ninety!
