Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Death Grip is a 2012 film by Eric Jacobus starring members of The Stunt People and Johnny Yong Bosch. Kenny (Jacobus) is a former drug dealer, now working as a caterer. At the start of the film, he is checking his brother Mark out of a group home, after fifteen years of separation, possibly linked to the death of their mother in a house fire, for which both sibling blames themselves. When called in for emergency catering at a museum event, Kenny is forced to bring Mark along. The two brothers are present at the museum when a satanic cult, the Knights of Judas, arrives to steal one of the exhibits, one of the thirty pieces of silver given to Judas in the Gospel. When the cult kidnaps Mark, Kenny is forced to descend into the depths of their compound to rescue his brother. | |

Barehanded Blade Block: Initially, Kenny halts the virgin sacrifice by grabbing the blade bare-handed. Unfortunately, eventually the cult leader pulls hard enough to wrench it free, cutting Kenny's hand and the victim's throat. | |

Ambiguous Disorder | |
| Death Grip / int_e8cfde67 | comment |
Ambiguous Disorder: Mark is socially stunted, doesn't make eye contact very often, is occasionally obsessed with order such as where he replaces hors d'oeuvres as they're being consumed, and is fixated on locking doors behind him. In the Director's Commentary, they specifically state that it was supposed to be some degree of autism. | |

| Death Grip / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: Kenny and Mark's mother died in a house fire. Shortly thereafter, Kenny went onto the streets and started dealing drugs, and Mark was sent to a group home. Both believe themselves to blame. Kenny was playing with airplane glue, which started the fire. Mark locked the house door behind him as he left, trapping their mother. According to the Director Commentary, the title of the film is about the "death grip" that the brothers keep on their guilt. | |
