I Think We Should Give This a Try
Hi-Death Review
My most recent trip to the movie theater was to watch a new horror anthology film. I wanted to keep this train rolling, so I could think of no better way to do so than with yet another film showing off some of the genre’s best indie talents. I am referring to 2018’s anthology, Hi-Death. The Plot Two friends decide to take a “Death Tour” while visiting beautiful Hollywood, California. They are taken on an increasingly horrifying journey, created by some of the best independent directors today. My Thoughts This follow-up to 2013’s Hi-8 (Horror Independent 8) presents five new … Read More

My Little Sister Review
On paper, it doesn’t seem difficult to create an effective slasher film. Like most horror sub-genres, there are a few key elements to the proper formula that, if followed precisely, should ensure a good film experience. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case when it comes to independent filmmaking. The most recent evidence I have of this is Maurizio and Roberto del Piccolo’s My Little Sister. The Plot Sheila and Tom are meeting their friends in the woods for a little getaway. On their way, they encounter a mysterious man who warns them to leave immediately or face the risk of … Read More

Rust Review
For most horror fans, there is nothing more exciting than finding new films in your favorite sub-genre. A lot of hardcore collectors and film viewers probably feel like they’ve “seen it all” already, so the promise of a new experience from a new filmmaker is always intriguing. Unfortunately, there are times when some films are better left undiscovered. That just so happens to be the case with Joe Lujan’s Rust. The Plot After Heather barely escapes an abandoned haunted house attraction with her life, she is forced to return to the scene to rescue her friend. Along with a team … Read More

Don't Look Review
It’s pretty safe to say that the most popular sub-genre of horror is the slasher flick. While they aren’t as prevalent now, the 80s saw countless filmmakers attempting to cash in on the masked killer craze. The quality of the films weren’t always the greatest, but at least they were entertaining in their own right. Can the same be said about Luciana Faulhaber’s Don’t Look? Read on to find out. The Plot Nicole and a few of her closest friends abandon the city life for a weekend away at her family’s farmhouse. It doesn’t take long for the group of … Read More

CarousHELL Review
It’s always fascinating to me how filmmakers are able to come up with new and original ideas in 2019. There have been hundreds of thousands of movies created, so isn’t it nearly impossible to come up with a story that hasn’t been done before? It seems one director in particular didn’t get that memo because I can assure you that Steve Rudzinski’s CarousHELL is as original as they come! The Plot Duke is a carousel unicorn that hates his job. After finally being pushed too far by yet another annoying child riding on his back in endless circles, Duke has … Read More

The Pigman Murders Review
For anyone who has followed my reviews over the years, it is no secret that I used to dislike watching independent films. Since starting Repulsive Reviews, however, my appreciation for low-budget, do-it-yourself horror films has greatly increased. I actually look forward to watching a lot of the lesser known flicks by up-and-coming filmmakers quite a bit now. The latest one that I can scratch off my list is Stephen Patrick Kenny’s The Pigman Murders. The Plot A group of friends head out for a hiking trip as a tribute to their friend on the one year anniversary of his death. … Read More
