From the gate you know this film isn't a blockbuster but the cinematography and sound is on point the pace is perfect and the acting fits the mood of the film like a glove. The two brothers do a good job acting but Trista Robinson who plays Psycho Mary is outstanding and steals the show. The storyline has enough development throughout to keep your interest growing which was surprising to say the least. Of course there are moments when the budget shows it's hand on some of the action sequences when the amateur extras or characters with small roles look very fake performing a death scene but most do a pretty good job. With a mix of religion, romance, Psychotic behavior, gore, vampirism, mild necrophilia, dark comedy and deformities this hidden gem touches a wide spectrum of entertainment. The movie is a bit playful and doesn't take it's self too seriously which adds to the charm but it stays firm and does everything with poise so you don't feel dumb or disrespected when watching. For most "Purgatory Road" is a good horror film that will catch you off guard and entertain you for a couple hrs. But for indie horror fans this flick will be a real treat. For that crowd I would highly recommend it.
This is a good bad movie. Stiff Acting and dialogue make this an instant cult classic.
LOL This film is the greatest masterpiece of all time. Don't believe me? Then you better re-read co-writer/Director Mark Savages' reviews again. Still don't believe me? Then you must have at least half a brain in your head because it's not even close to the superlatives unleashed in the two "user" reviews. It is however, a decent movie, worthy of a watch if you have less than two hours to kill.
Nicely shot! I'd love to know the camera and assorted sordid details, but that's not really "reviewy" of me. This is a taut horror thriller with enough blood and pathos to make it worth the watch. In rural Mississippi, tragedy begets tragedy. A young priest with a blistered past meets his assassin-siren. What could possibly go wrong? Thanks to my buddy Greg for the nod on this film.
Not for the faint hearted. really liked the 70's stylised approach. Purgatory Road are for those who like to watch horror movies with blood and glory. Well worth a watch
