Il bosco dell'orrore

What a refreshing, fun yet gory film. I went into this thinking it was going to be your typical possession or slasher'ish type film and the beginning of the movie started to prove that I wasn't wrong. With its opening scene of loud rough sex inside and a bunch of bikers kicking the crap out of two guys outside I settled in for what I thought would be a mindless horror film that was entertaining but without much depths. I was wrong.

I can't get too much into the plot as the movie packs a surprising punch near the end but the ride to the twist was definitely a fun one. I can say that even though the movie started off as your typical horror film with its drunken party, slutty girls and drama when the party ends, that's when the fun begins.

The film starts to get very strange when a gang of 50's era punks show up looking for one of the girls at the party. I loved that they added this and found it refreshing as its nothing I have ever seen before. The gang ends up having an odd sense of humour and uses it to amuse themselves with their hostages in a series of bizarre games and such.

Overall great flick, delivers on the gore, acting, storyline all topped off with quite an amazing twist. This movie would be great for most non-mainstream horror movie lovers.

Mitchell Altieri and Phil Flores did know their job, they already did a few horrors like for example The Hamiltons. Another name that was a regular for me was Tiffany Shepis. I have seen her so many times in flicks and always she goes naked. Well, Kleenex fans, here she goes full naked with a camera pan over her body from knees to head revealing it all. Of course that's not the most important thing, or is it, to watch it. Some faces will be recognized like Joe Egender ( from The Hamiltons and other horrors) and Taylor Cole (Surrogates or The Green Hornet). And due the acting it really works but it is still a weird movie. Some parts were a bit too long with for example the rockabilly's showing up. But it do deliver on the gore. It starts of with what you think another biker movie with a lot of roughness and nudity but after 22 minutes out of the blue someone gets possessed. The story surrounding that possession is as I said a bit weird but once all is explained you surely will see the nudity and the red stuff and some gory parts. Some is done by real effects and other by CGI but it worked out fine. Not a flick for everyone but if you can take a bit of horror and science fiction than you can watch it.

The Violent Kind. After I watched this film I read some of the reviews. It was pretty appalling to see what some people had to say about this movie. Right after I saw it I wanted to purchase it. I felt like it was reviewed pretty harshly. I will say it's definitely not mainstream. If you are bored with the same old plots and twists than give this movie a shot. Personally,I had high expectations for this movie...and it surely delivered! I'm not going to ruin anything by giving a detailed review. I will say that it has bikers, vintage cars, violence,throwbacks to the 1950's and a touch of Lovecraftian twist. The actors and actresses do a very good job here. The effects are better than some you see in the mainstream trash they put out now. The plot itself keeps you guessing at what's going to happen next, which I can't say for most horror movies. Great movie and can't wait for more.

After watching The Hamiltons the night before and finding out this new brain child of the Butcher Brothers was out, I was excited to give it a view! Another original premise for this movie: A biker gang and their girlfriends are tormented when one of the girls becomes savagely possessed and a gang of "Rockabillies" from the fifties descends upon them to collect what is growing inside her. I found the first hour of the movie, actually kind of boring. It was then the "Rockabiliies" emerged on screen that the true potential of the film was shown. They are what should have been expanded more on, their twisted and psychotic personalities made the film.

I have to say after more and more mainstream crap Horror like Scream 4(Sorry Wes Craven, but Scream 3 and 4 were just monotonous and overbudgeted) and the flood of remakes, its very refreshing to see something new and semi-original come from the independent film industry. I know that the mainstream crowd will probably rate this horribly or say it has plot holes(What everyone says when they don't understand something), but don't buy what they're selling unless your in their category.

Premise: The movie starts off telling the violent story of a notorious biker gang that is into drugs, violence, and crime getting together for a party. Headlines of the gangs exploits are splashed across the screen in the form of newspaper articles of recent arrests. The party quickly comes and goes then some real weird things start to happen after everyone leaves the party house.

This movie definitely is a send up in the spirit of Evil Dead and the Exorcist thrown in with a few other genre Slasher flicks. The movie definitely stands out as a smashmouth, grindhouse Independent, supernatural slasher with a very decent twist at the end that is like the icing on the cake. I can already hear the argument that the film tries to be too much, but trust me, the movie handles everything, including the twist right down to the last minute. It kept me glued to the screen. Then again I love supernatural elements which this movie has a lot of.

I gave it a 9 because its already off to a bad start. It deserves a "solid" 7 rating. Acting is top notch, gore is above par, tense moments are everywhere, and an "I really didn't see it coming", twist. What can I say? I loved this movie and I highly recommend it to the REAL die-hard genre fans who can appreciate good REAL independent horror in the tradition of Evil Dead and The Exorcist.

Bravo!
