The Retaliators

Where we have Rob Zombie and his dreadful "Slipknot horror" as it's woefully named after his affliction for masks being the scariest element of his childhood...here we have the antithesis; Creed Horror. This film pretends to be horror within a defined genre, when it really takes more than a couple of violent scenes to be considered something it really isn't. It comes across as something riding the line of a B-movie crime drama, a revenge flick, a drug deal gone wrong premise, a biker film and finishes with a "zombie" or cannibal element all to the tune of some mallcore nonsense and god awful repetitive tropes seen over and over. This film is an absolute mess, and comes off more as a film school wanna be kickstarter campaign gone wrong than anything resembling a horror film. When you see the "awards" tab on the imdb page----do yourself a favor and see if they are legitimate festivals before getting worked into believing there's something resembling a cult classic or a hidden gem. This is neither.

Wow!! Great film. Am I a disturbed individual to have loved this film? I found myself totally immersed in the film & its brilliant soundtrack, I sat there hands over my face peeking through my fingers at the blood & gore parts all whilst head banging to the song playing for each gory scene, (a funny site to anyone watching me im sure) It was like each actor/actress/musician was born to play their character. Jacoby played a very convincing role as quinn brady the mentally disturbed & evil individual with each character being equally as disturbed in their own way. Soundtrack on repeat in my car.

One of the most incredible horror films I have ever seen There was just the right mix of anticipation and gore It starts with a young lady and she challenged her Father to stand up for himself In a very unfortunate scenario she came across a man who set his sights on her He chased her down in her vehicle and let's just say what resulted was a Father's rage so strong you just have to see it to understand how it all went And the music by by all the amazing artists accented every scene perfectly I honestly want to own it Where else can you see Five Finger Death Punch The HU Ice Nine Kills Tommy Lee And the entire storyline is absolutely captivating.

Great gory and fun horror film with the 80s style gore that is definitely one of my favorites. I watched it for the cast but I was not disappointed! Horror movie that has great cinematic elements without being too overly cheesy. It works and if you are into the metal scene, the cameos make it worth it on its own. The music in the movie is my favorite and The Retaliators song has been stuck in my head for ages. I didn't expect the movie to be as great as it was. Low budget and a generic concept was made great. Found the movie because of Ice Nine Kills and Jacoby Shaddix. The pastor named Bishop though, that makes me laugh. It's really good just cheesy fun horror that I love.

As a suspense movie it's great. Maybe not the usual expected horror, but lots of blood, violence and the conflict between the personal moral and the desire of revenge it's fantastic. And great cast and soundtrack. I loved that these rockstars were given a chance to debut in the movie, both as actors and as part of the soundtrack. However I would have love to see Jacoby Shaddix more time on screen with a more envolved character. From the members of Fife Finger Death Punch I would say the same. To see them even more envolved. As per the Lombardi's acting, I think the moral conflict mentioned above was absolutely well performed.

Wanted, "metal band" video directors to cram 5 movies into 90 minute snooze fest. This one will make a Rob Zombie film fan puke. I am going to try and be as diplomatic as possible to see why I think this movie is a 1 and a slew of others say it's a 9 or 10. First case, the 9's or higher. Do you love one or all of the following? Popa Roach, FFDP, Ice Nine Kills or Rob Zombie movies? This is going to be your cup of tea. If you would have preferred to hear 12 minute black metal songs from bands no one has heard of before while being a pretentious prick after the first 5 minutes, you will give this one a 1.

I LOVE THE RETALIATORS!!!! It was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!! I need this on dvd like YESTERDAY!!! Jacoby did an incredible job! I love how a lot of the actors are rockers and in bands that I LOVE!!! Spencer Charnas' scene was so funny the way he taunted FFDP's character. Particularly I enjoyed seeing Craig Mabbitt from Escape The Fate on screen! Would LOVE to see another movie in the horror genre with a lot of the bands off of Better Noise Records!!! Amanda Lyberg was so awesome to see on screen too! PLEASE MAKE ANOTHER ONE!!!! It was definitely interesting seeing Michael Lombardi's character and the way his journey unfolded. Plus of course the fact that Tommy Lee was in it was awesome too! Love Mötley Crüe!!!! Would definitely recommend!!!!

The Retaliators was an amazing movie with a amazing story line and cast. I would DEFINITELY recommend this movie to any horror fans! Me and my family went to go watch it and we left and couldn't stop talking about it for hours!! And if you think the cast and story line are amazing?? The soundtrack is just as good!! Wish this movie was streaming because then I could watch it whenever I want, and watch it with my brother (who however was not able to watch it with us) But as I said, I definitely rate this a full on 10/10. Great job to all those who made this movie happen. Hope this was helpful...

I had been following this one for a month directly from the hu's TikTok page and on Facebook and I went to go see it finally last night and it was brutal, for it being a horror movie, it delivered on the blood n gore front and I loved the rock and metal soundtrack too (that was a big draw for me), although for it being a revenge movie, I was expecting a lot more fight scenes out of it since you always think of the hero kicking ass and taking names whenever you hear "revenge movie", and for the crime drama touch, I would've liked to see the biker gang rivalry that was hinted at which also harkens back to the "more action" gripe. But overall I was really satisfied with it, especially since it was an overall throwback to 80's grindhouse with plentiful gore, graphic deaths, hot women, *, guns, vicious action, cussing, and a bangin soundtrack.

A fair surprise I got after I saw this movie in a theater near me, went with little to no expectations, looking for a common horror film, with jumpscares and metal singers' cameos (I went to this film just because i'm a huge Ice Nine Kills fan), but what I got was nothing I expected, instead of a horror/slasher film, what I saw was a film about crime/thriller with horror aspects in it, that touches the themes of religion, grief and revenge in an interesting way. My biggest problem was at the beginning of the film, the writing and the acting wasn't any good, but after that car scene, everything turned up a notch and I got gripped (and surprised) with everything that happened during the story.
