Flesh of the Unforgiven

Flesh of the Unforgiven sure isn't your run-of-the-mill horror feature, it's a mood piece that moves at a leisurly speed to properly build up its story while having no problems veering off into the associative, the absurd, the grotesque and even the surreal should need arise, but ties up all neatly into a solid and actually pretty compelling piece of horror that thanks to a relatable backstory goes for more than just the jugular. And an on-point cast help to keep the thing earthed, all resulting in pretty awesome genre entertainment.

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.

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.

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.

Flesh of the Unforgiven is a diabolical terror train that rides through the dark heart of human pysche. A tripping fear feast to be slowly consumed and swallowed with a lump in your throat.

The performance are top shelf, with dramatic physical and psychological elements being thrown at the characters like a knife game at a carnival of carnage.

Director Hollow lights a slow spark in this slow burn film, which turns into a gigantic flame of fear.
