YOUR RATING
Rich Piatkowski, Christina Schimmel, Farhang Ghajar, Jon Gates, and Jennifer Fraser in Capture Kill Release (2016)
A shocking blend of sadistic horror and suburban drama... A hit with critics and audiences worldwide since its debut at the Sunscreen Film Festival, Capture Kill Release is an unflinching and chilling depiction of a couple's moral decay for the sake of their "art". A young married couple documents their descent down the rabbit hole as they seek to fulfil one of their darkest desires: kill a stranger and film it for posterity. Strain and second thoughts pull at their devotion to each other as they carefully plot out a heinous crime for the sake of curiosity. While they may have carefully thought out every small step and detail of getting away with murder, nothing can prepare them for the guilt and the weight of moving on in the aftermath. Winning numerous awards from horror festivals around the world, and featuring star-making performances from the two leads, Capture Kill Release is one of the most talked about independent horror films in recent years. Available to order from: Amazon http://amzn.to/2uS489a

    Must See

    I'm a huge horror fan and this movie by far has been one of the best horror films I've seen in years! It captures the psychological aspect of horror and psychopaths while adding the element of gore in the first person perspective. There were parts where I had to look away, but couldn't.

    Psychotic fun.

    A cute woman and her estranged boyfriend decide to kill people, because...why not? Things get messy and out of hand though. Capture Kill Release has one of the most realistic dismemberment scenes that I've seen. Great FX work. Jennifer Fraser, as the psychotic lead, was a fun performance. Above notch found footage film.

    Great POV/FF

    Im not into all the found footage movies about ghosts they are all the same. This had good acting, good story, good sex scenes, and whole new view on the found footage genre. It was great. Not really a horror movie though, more of a thriller.

    A better than okay "found footage"film

    Although Farhang was annoying and bitch boy in every way possible the film still worth the watch. Jennifer, played by Jennifer was believable as an attention needy sick woman. Watch till the very end for the movie to be worth worth the experience. The true sad star was poor ole Gary and the cat :(

    Found Footage

    Man, this movie reminds me of exactly why I am still single! The things ppl to for love is just insane! Well acted and IF you are a fan of found footage then this will be a treat. It did feel like it dragged on but the two leads kept it interesting enough to keep your attention until the end. Lesson here is to be ready to get exactly what you really want. Because if you try too hard things might go exactly your way.
