YOUR RATING
Rich Piatkowski, Christina Schimmel, Farhang Ghajar, Jon Gates, and Jennifer Fraser in Capture Kill Release (2016)
A shocking blend of sadistic horror and suburban drama...

A hit with critics and audiences worldwide since its debut at the Sunscreen Film Festival, Capture Kill Release is an unflinching and chilling depiction of a couple's moral decay for the sake of their "art". 

A young married couple documents their descent down the rabbit hole as they seek to fulfil one of their darkest desires: kill a stranger and film it for posterity. Strain and second thoughts pull at their devotion to each other as they carefully plot out a heinous crime for the sake of curiosity. While they may have carefully thought out every small step and detail of getting away with murder, nothing can prepare them for the guilt and the weight of moving on in the aftermath. 

Winning numerous awards from horror festivals around the world, and featuring star-making performances from the two leads, Capture Kill Release is one of the most talked about independent horror films in recent years.

    Amazing!

    For such a low budget film is was perfect. Acting was great. Jennifer Fraser stole the show. She played everything realistic. Her crazy side and laugh was a genuine feeing. How is this her only role ever? Shows true horror that can really happen. I would recommend. Check it out.

    Very Well Acted Disturbing Film

    I downloaded this movie last night from the play store. I really wasn't expecting much but it was really well made. The female lead is a truly scary character. She puts forth a weird sexuality mixed with this evil desire. Her partner is a hapless loser, that you feel for. I pulled up the cast and was a little surprised they don't have more than a one other credit. Maybe they are acting in commercials? The movie is a great little film. It was obviously filmed on a shoestring budget but don't let that turn you off. I enjoyed the acting and the little bits of humour thrown here and there. I don't usually like the "found footage, first person filming" style, but this time it actually worked. If you get a chance have a little bit of time to kill on an evening, give it a try.

    Poorly conceived

    I wanted to like 'Capture Kill Release', I really did. I'm a big fan of the "found footage" genre. It has produced some of my favourite horror films because it can be a very effective tool when used correctly. 'Capture Kill Release' however, was not a film that should have used it. The point of using it is to make things feel as realistic as possible and thus more scary. The way this film used it though had the opposite effect. Instead, I kept thinking to myself how absurd it was that they were filming this and how completely unrealistic the whole thing was.

    Another problem I had with this movie was it that it was supposed to be a horror, yet it never once feels like a horror other than the odd bit of gruesome dismemberment. It plays out more like a drama. And that would be fine if that was what they were intending (in fact I think that would have made for a much better film had it focused itself in that direction), but you can clearly tell that they were indeed trying to make a horror movie and simply failed miserably.

    Add in some pretty horrible acting from the entire cast and you have a complete misfire. A 90 minute film should never feel this long, dull and drawn out. There are some brilliant films out there in the "found footage" genre. I suggest watching one of those instead.

    Psychotic fun.

    A cute woman and her estranged boyfriend decide to kill people, because...why not? Things get messy and out of hand though. Capture Kill Release has one of the most realistic dismemberment scenes that I've seen. Great FX work. Jennifer Fraser, as the psychotic lead, was a fun performance. Above notch found footage film.

    Decent Film

    This was a decent film from the beginning. The story is about a "normal" couple who decide to kill someone. It is presented as "found footage" rather than a typical film.

    I got the feeling that the guy thinks it is just a joke but the woman is serious. There is really awful scene where a cat doesn't make it to the end of the film, but maybe it says more about me that I found this a worst scene than those involving humans.

    There are some pretty explicit scenes that look like a real body is being cut up. There is also some black humour in the planning of the killing and the nonchalance afterwards.

    I really liked the two main actors and felt for both of them in the film. The ending was a bit predictable but well done nevertheless. Overall, well worth a watch
