Flesh of the Unforgiven

I was contemplating a few different new horror films to watch and a friend recommended Flesh of the Unforgiven and I have to admit I really enjoyed it. The opening scene grabbed me, a disturbing, scary yet sexy moment, I'M HOOKED :)

Right away I got into Jack and Sienna's characters. They are struggling financially and in their marriage. They head to a remote cabin in hopes of making things better and it's obvious their struggle is real, but you can tell they still truly love each other and want to work their issues out, mainly trust.

Doesn't help the relationship when she tries seducing him, but he turns her down due to him in the middle of writing so she storms off. To make matters worse his literary agent gives him 3 days to finish a treatment and he's struggling to write it big time. He then receives a video for inspiration from an unknown.....a vhs video, a disturbing video but yet it helps Jack. Worse is the video matter sucks him in wondering what will happen next.

A lot builds up to the surprise ending. Throughout the film there's wild and shocking moments and you have to pay close attention to all details to really catch what's going on. A few times I thought I had figured it out, then was smacked with an unexpecting moment. I'm actually going to rewatch it so I can pick up on more details.

This film sucks. Seriously.

The people who have reviewed this highly must be either involved with the film somehow or paid to give a good review.

The acting is a joke and Joe Hollow looks and sounds ridiculous as the "Death Dealer".

Not a single one of them, even Debbie Rochon seem to care about the film and phone their performances in. Well, maybe Hollow cares considering he tries way too hard.

I have no idea how this guy has won so many awards unless he's handed them to himself or his earlier movies are much better.

Avoid this trash. Trust me. An hour in feels like an eternity of hell if hell was boring.

Flesh of the Unforgiven is an example of why I enjoy Independent horror. They tell interesting stories and present them in a unique way. They also are not afraid to create something that is for everyone. Joe Hollow makes the most out of his budget and manages to feature some of the most talented folks in the indie scene. Some of the aesthetics are due to the limitation in budget but it is made up for in the writing, direction and talent on screen. If you are a fan of any of the individuals in this film or of true indie horror then you should check this film out.

Joe Hollow's "Flesh of the Unforgiven" is a bold, gonzo horror delicacy that thrives on its bizarre, unconventional structure. While certain moments feel familiar, Hollow doesn't aim to reinvent the wheel; instead, he makes it uniquely his own, and it works beautifully. At times, it feels as though you're watching the work of a cinematic child born from David Lynch and Tim Burton-August Kyss embodies this perfectly.

Debbie Rochon and Joe Hollow deliver strong performances as a husband and wife at a crossroads in their dysfunctional marriage. Their on-screen chemistry is palpable and, in the world of independent horror, refreshingly rare. With a cinematography and sound that are nicely polished, the plot twists and turns keep you engaged until the very end.

The special effects may appear a bit dated at times, but there's a charm to them that feels like a nostalgic nod to the golden era of horror-a time that many fans still long for.

Overall "Flesh of the Unforgiven" is a fun, memorable ride that might just invite a second viewing.

Joe Hollow where have you been? We are glad your back and where ever you where you have brought back another classic cult film. This on can make you jump out of your skin yet it tells the story that as a director Joe has brought forth. The cast seems to enjoy what they are doing because it comes out throughout the film. The awards that this film is receiving are well earned.

This will become a cult classic that will live through the ages. The faint of heart need not view this film because there are some scenes that seem so real that they pop off the screen and draw your attention to the film and nothing else.
