Launched by Ray Murray, founder of TLA Releasing and Artsploitation Films, Cinephobia Releasing is dedicated to presenting the most eye-opening genre and LGBTQ+ movies from around the world.

Expect the unexpected.

In 1976, a group of people in the desert for a photo shoot stumble upon an abandoned town called Savage. But they are not alone. A family of masked psychopaths have claimed Savage as their own and are hell-bent on living up to its name.

Reviews

Knows exactly what it is. Or does it?

"As a slasher enthusiast, there's so much to like about Brute 1976. The production values are expensive looking despite the budget and the acting better than average. The extras let us in on the joy the filmmakers had making it. I only wish the feature was as fun to watch. It really comes down to tone. Is it a campy retro-pastiche? Is it a self-aware meta-slasher? Is it a dark comedy/social satire? There are a lot of good ideas but none of them come together in a compelling way. But it looks great, like a less-tryhard Rob Zombie joint and it's forward thinking enough to feature a Black final girl as well as two villains. The slip is wonderfully nasty (and down to 87 copies if you're thinking of grabbing one). A fun one to watch with friends but I'm not sure how well it might hold up with repeated viewings."

— Shawn P. (5/5)

Desert cannibals

"Throwback to the horror movies of the seventies like the hills have eyes and Texas chainsaw. A loving homage with a decent amount of gory kills. Comes with loads of on disc extras like interviews and a commentary. Mine came with w nifty slip cover."

— Kresh R. (4/5)

What am I watching and is there more?

"This is a movie that is a true callback to those classic 1970 grindhouse, exploitation movies. Yes, the patient could have been done better and some of it is ridiculous, but if you love gory, crazy schlock. You got to check out this movie."

— Louis I. (5/5)

Reminiscent of Texas Chainsaw massacre

"Reminiscent of Texas Chainsaw massacre and The Hills Have Eyes with excessive gore and practical effects"

— Devin S. (5/5)

"Inspired by the Texas chain saw massacre vibes. absolutely hardcore gore."

— Jimmy C. (5/5)

In case you forget when this movie is set, the year is part of its name

"Director Marcel Watz has put together a great tribute to the better slashers of the 70s. It’s somewhat in the vein of “The Hills Have Eyes” but with better kills, one in particularly. It has a great look to it and they also found a great location, which really serves the movie well. My only gripes is that they could have found a slightly younger looking cast and the reason why the “inbred” family has gathered together seemed a little forced to me. All, in all I definitely recommend this movie. It has a very interesting commentary and some interesting interviews. The slipcover is great. And the inner case has different art which I also like!"

— Scott K. (5/5)
