Bloody, gory, and one hell of a ride
This movie was so worth the year long wait as it made its way through the festival circuit). Saw it in theaters and immediately bought the digital version when it was released. For too long horror movies have been far too clean. It this one. I loved the creative kills and massive amounts of blood and gore. That final kill was insanely fun. The cast was phenomenal and the cameos from some of the best names in rock and metal (including Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, The Hu, and Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach) really pushed it over the edge. There were so many moments of heart stopping trepidation and anticipation. The soundtrack is also amazing with a who's who of collaborations . - AnimStat64 - 28 October 2022
An Instant Horror Classic!
After all the production issues this film had to go through bc of the pandemic, The Retaliators finally arrived in theaters back in September and VOD this October just in time for Halloween... AND IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!! Amazing performances from everyone (especially Michael Lombardi as Pastor Bishop), loaded with Metal music cameos galore from Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills to Jacoby Shaddix, extremely impressive gore reminiscent of Evil Dead, fantastic characters that're more deep and complex than most in this genre, excellent cinematography, top notch complex writing that does a fantastic job fleshing out every character, some of the best scares in any horror film in at least the past 5 years, and all topped off with one of the best movie soundtracks ever created!
It may have taken a while to get released, but The Retaliators is a dark and violent revenge-movie that is a MUST-SEE for any Horror fan this October! Especially gorehounds!
It's also a MUST-SEE every December as well bc the film does take place during Christmas! The first since Nightmare Before Christmas to achieve this feat!
I cannot reccommend this movie highly enough! It is THE best horror movie of 2022!
