Psycho Holocaust

A pregnant woman (Raine Brown), her husband, and four friends venture into the deep woods in order to be hacked, bludgeoned, and chain-sawed to death by crazy hillbillies. Not-so-surprisingly, the one with the chainsaw is wearing a mask.

Unfortunately, for a "1970's throwback" film, it's all pretty mundane and not very well realized. Fans of Ms. Brown know how good she is in 100 TEARS, and this is not of that caliber. On the bright side, it's far better than the wretched WOODS OF EVIL, which could have ended her career...

Maybe it's because I've been stuck on the time period, but I could have sworn the was a mid-70's movie. Instead, it's from 2009. I couldn't tell you whether it was an artistic choice or that the budget was non- existent. Either way, the vibe is there down to the washed out colors. As with a lot of 70's gore films, the acting is mostly atrocious. Buddy shines through, however, as the lead psycho. The special effects are, at times, laughable, such as the whip marks. the scalping was well done though. There's a scene on a river that you can't hear one of the actresses when she's speaking.

All of this should add up to a lousy rating and yet.... They've got the vibe right. A few scenes and images gave me that "holy s**t" feeling in the pit of my stomach. With a better budget and better actors, this would have been stellar.

On a scorching summer day 6 friends venture into the mountains for one more vacation before their lives change forever.

Unbeknownst to them, their lives would forever be changed anyway.

In the shadows awaits a pack of the most evil, the most vile, rejects of humanity that's addicted to violence and thirsty for blood!

This is Psycho Holocaust.

Weird flick that is directed very much like those early 70s films. Only this was made in 2009. A lot of the acting sucks just like those 70s movies of this ilk and the story line is sort of dumb. Also the sound is excruciatingly low.

It's not a great film, but if you like those weird 70s horror flicks like last house on the left, i spit on your grave, don't look in the basement, etc, etc. you might like this a bit.

Honestly, if you didn't see the newer model cars in the picture, you'd think you were back in 1974.
