Director's Cut

Super fortunate to have gotten to catch this at a Film Festival!!! Super fun movie, lotta dread, lotta heart, lotta laughs (even tho my girlfriend had to look away at some parts lol) Acting was strong across the board. Definitely going back to see it with my friends when it hits theaters.

(Maybe Spoilers:) The film follows a punk rock band and each of the four make up a great dynamic that is thrusted into a pretty dark situation when Mister Director comes into play. I LOVED Mister Director. He manages to walk on such a tightrope between threatening and dread-inducing but at the same time funny and awkward.

Overall, big thumbs up.

I was pretty impressed with this film. It's not your typical horror. The cast was great. They all reminded me of something you'd see on television in a continuing series.

The location was a really cool look in that old mansion as well.

Lou Lombardi killed this roll... He plays a great nut job! I'm not sure what the budget was, but I'm assuming it was pretty low and this has a look and feel of any high budget flick! Didn't love all the music and would have loved to see more back story on the band, but ya, this one surprised me and maybe just set the bar a bit higher for horror. Who said you can't have a real story along with all the gore?

Cool film!

Saw some horror accounts I follow on insta mention this movie and decided to check it out at the Bushwick film festival. I dig horror but not so much gore/slashers, but was down for this since its based around a rock band. Ended up really enjoying this movie. Big bonus is you don't immediately hate the characters and want them to die. Appreciate that they give you people to root for.

Some of the cast did a Q&A with the director of the movie after the screening, was clear this was many of their "big break" moments, especially for the director making his debut with this movie. Everyone clearly gave it their all and its worth calling that out.

All in all I'd say give this one a chance. Its good to see more small budget movies get a chance out there with major Hollywood lacking rn. Hope we get a follow-up to this one soon!

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!

"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.
