Director's Cut

Im not usually a Horror film lover, but this one has a great story to follow. The cast of newcomers was refreshing, young actors who rocked their parts. The story is believable for a young rock band looking for their first break after a heartbreaking death of a friend to all of them. It's an interesting story with a tie into the dark web. It's not your usual horror movie and its not for the faint of heart. It certainly had me on the edge of my seat at times. I love the way the director used great music choices to climax scenes. This is definitely a must see! Hoping for a sequel to answer open questions in the plot.

"Director's Cut" is a dark, trippy horror ride that pulls you in from the first scene. The cinematography is gorgeous - moody, eerie, and feels super high-budget, making every frame look like a piece of art. The music and band element is such a cool touch, and I honestly wish we got even more of Babs; she totally steals every scene she's in. The ensemble cast overall is fantastic, bringing so much tension and energy that you can't help but stay hooked. Sure, the plot can feel a bit predictable, but the visuals and atmosphere keep you glued anyway. If you're into horror that's all about vibe, style, and strong performances instead of cheap jump scares, this one is a must. It's the kind of film that sticks with you after the credits roll - stylish, haunting, and just really fun to watch.

Chilling. Even more so because you feel like it could really happen. Cast connects with each other and viewers. The movie pulls you in; seems true to the trials of a young band trying to make it big and taking chances to do it. The setting creates just the right atmosphere and tone for the events to play out. I felt the tension and anticipation through the entire film, and appreciate the effort the filmmakers took to keep that heightened sense of dread with each passing moment. It left me wanting more! Feeling like, what's next?! I've recommended this film to all the thriller and horror fans in my orbit! Don't miss it!

Desperate to regain their image, a young rock band looking to overcome a personal tragedy in their history decides to shoot a controversial music video to help raise awareness for their comeback, but the longer they stay there the more his unhinged tactics make them question his true motives.

This was a decent enough genre effort. Among the better features here is the strong and overall enjoyable setup that allows for this one to stay on a solid enough note. The initial history of the band's backstory involving the personal tragedy, the different idiosyncrasies about how they perform and write music, and the struggle with trying to get the band back on track after a series of setbacks offers a fine enough motivation for taking the offer to shoot the video. This gets them out to the house which is a moody, atmospheric piece that is the perfect type of setting for something like this to happen based on these initial early beats all set out by the strong starting point. Even once they're there, the atmosphere and strangeness of what's going on make for some intriguing ideas as for how things play out here with the way the shoot goes on. However, once the starting point has been established, almost nothing of any interest happens for long stretches of the film. Featuring no shortage of scenes involving the group going through the motions of deciding what they're doing, how they're interacting when they arrive at the house, or the series of personal inflections coming to pass while they prepare for the shoot to the point that it's just bland and dull waiting for things to happen. When it does start happening, the idea of what's going on with taking out the band one by one under the pretense of shooting the scenes for the video but turning into gruesome torture sequences that showcase more stupidity than anything in letting everything get to the point it odes before they catch onto the plan since it's so obvious there's no real surprise at all. It does undermine this just enough to hold this don overall.

Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, and drug use.

Do Not believe the fake reviews! This movie is not good. It is unbelievably boring, with characters that are unlikeable, and a worn out plot.

Plot holes galore, and an ending that will leave you wanting to jam a knife in your hand, because that would be more entertaining

It is not a "throw back" to classic slashers, and it's not even a slow burn movie. This movie is boring and not even remotely entertaining. There was plenty of opportunities to make it into a decent slasher, but they failed miserably.

The characters are terrible, and some are just blatantly in your face for no reason, without any kind if background of why they are even in the movie.

Do not waste your time!
