YOUR RATING
Shira Barber, Tully Bertorelli, and Brian Babulic in Chicago Rot (2016)
After years of rotting in Joliet, Les, a wrongfully imprisoned street legend known as "The Ghoul," is released into a mad search through Chicago's back alleys for the man who slaughtered his mother and robbed him of his soul.

Aided by enigmatic benefactors, he must delve beneath the city into a modern labyrinth of gutters whose tendrils have grown deep while he was gone.

What unfolds is a desperate tale of brute force tragedy set in the supernatural underworld of Chicago, where heroes are reduced to horror-shows, villains dream of their own demise, and good and evil prove to be antiquated concepts.

    A Fun Indie Ride!

    What a terrific ride! This film demonstrates why it's so much fun to watch an indie film. A good indie film I should say. I love the original concept of this film. The acting was on point and so was the storyline. All the actors were so good. Solid work folks! You made on heck of a good movie!!

    this film is a crime thriller turned rock concert!

    if you like rock music this film is 100% for you! this part crime thriller part gory horror part mend bending sci-fi cult classic is all tied together with a incredibly compelling original rock score!

    between the amazing cinematography to the outstanding hair/make up, costumes and set design i was very impressed with the film. tip of the hat to the chicago rot cast and crew!

    there were times i was confused with the plot but when i went back and watched it again the story revealed more details. this film definitely has layers of sub-plot. you have to pay attention. also, don't forget to look for the easter eggs!

    Great indie film

    I have watched it a couple of times. It is one of those movies like Pulp Fiction where you may not get the plot on the first go around.

    What an experience !

    I was not necessarily a horror film fan until I saw Chicago Rot. Watching this movie is not just a good time, it's an incredible experience. This film activates all of your senses and leaves you wanting to watch it all over again.

    I am a new horror film fan and I hope the producers / directors make more films, horror or otherwise!

    Proper gore!

    It is unusual but really fun. Certainly one for the horror purist. At times it plays out like some sort of surrealist nightmare. I loved it.

    A recommend for a those who like the genre.
