Reviews

A great quasi-slasher with interesting structure

"I saw someone say they thought the mystery was pretty easy to solve as to whodunit in this one. There's really only 3 living characters and I thought it was the only one it wasn't. Runs out of steam a little towards the end with a somewhat middling ending, but otherwise a great, stylishly shot film with some really great music. There's some giallo with a motorcycle helmeted killer, but I can't remember which one that is. Very well done for the budget. Some unique kills and great direction. It looks fantastic. Blind buy but very impressed. Highly recommended."

Ed K. (5/5)

Surprisingly good!

"I had low expectations for this, so I was pleasantly surprised! It has a great score, it's well acted, features decent gore, looks visually striking in places and it's a genuinely decent film. I can see slasher and giallo influences throughout (Night School, What Have They Done To Your Daughters etc. ). That's the good stuff. . . Unfortunately the film is set out in such a way that you know who the killer is and you know why they're doing it, so there's no mystery. Each kill scene is introduced by telling you the person died, so there's no tension whatsoever. Which is a shame, because the film is so well made that it could've been pretty awesome. That said, I'd say it's worth a watch."

Sam N. (4/5)

A high-octane, blood-soaked thrill ride

"A total bloodbath on two wheels. Death Cycle doesn't rely on a complex script, but it more than makes up for it with relentless pacing, highly creative kills, and a killer soundtrack."

Pablo R. (3/5)

Nothing could live up to

"Nothing could live up to that awesome slip cover art but this does put forth a good effort."

Corey D. (4/5)

Slasher fun

"Give it a watch"
