Martin Renner hits a home run on this film. I mean why did we not think of a Bee Keeper killer before? Insanely good mix of comedy and horror. A must watch for fans. Another example of Indie films out shinning the studios.
Wow! This was way better than it had any right to be. This scratched that B-Movie Slasher flick itch better than pretty much any big studio film. Love the practical effects!! Now I just need to figure out where to get a GORB t-shirt... On-On!!
A delightful and truly entertaining film. The comedy writing is great, the horror scenes are well done, and it's really nice to see the Hash House Harriers in a film. Some of the Kiwi jokes and slang went over my head but that's ok. I feel like the film could have done a bit of a better job explaining what hashing is and why all these people are going running out in the woods, but you definitely don't need to know what hashing is to enjoy the film. A must see if you are a Hasher yourself. I'm sure this will become a cult classic across the global hash house harrier community in no time. Loved every minute.
What a blast Buzz Cut is! This has to be the most fun I've had in ages watching a movie, and it is indie horror at its finest. Hard to believe it took this long to get a proper kiwi slasher flick, and Buzz Cut is happy to fill that void. There are lots of nods to classic 80s slashers, and while some of the writing is not for the faint of heart (if you're easily offended it's best to avoid this one), it really does take you back to when slashers were in their prime. There's some great gory practical effects, and some really fantastic Kiwi humour. Buzz Cut is indie horror gold!
For a self funded film this production took no shortcuts. As a general rule I am pretty skeptical of Indie Horror Flicks, but unlike most, Buzz Cut didn't phone it in. The actors were engaged, rarely did the performances come across as amateurish. The practical effects were, notably, spot on. Granted, the premise of the movie being centered around The Hash House Harriers will be hard for people that aren't involved with that subculture to fully appreciate; but the movie captures "hasher culture" pretty dang well (even some of the not so great aspects). It's difficult to walk the line between horror and comedy but this film achieves it.
