            I Dig It

            "It's not the greatest but there's a lot of passion and fun ideas. Really cool to see how they stretch the central concept."

            — Kyle K. (5/5)

            Reservoir dorks

            "Some great gore in this"

            — Dave C. (4/5)

            Fun horror comedy

            "This one started a little slow and I did not know what I was getting into, but it picked up the pace packed with dark humor and violence. Overall an entertaining horror comedy. Comes with a handful of extras including interview with the director and nifty artwork on the reversible slipcover."

            — Kresh R. (4/5)

            Murder Party

            "Really can't compliment this movie enough considering it's no doubt tight budget constraints. The last scrappy indie movie to come up with a smart concept and execute it this well was Blair Witch. Quite refreshing to see a low budget "genre" picture that's actually well-made and delivers the goods. Filmmakers were smart about locations (Brooklyn industrial areas) and using Halloween night in NYC as a backdrop. Very nicely shot, well-edited, but above all it's the acting that makes this movie stand out. Has both broad and subtle humor and it's a lot of fun. Expect creators behind this production to go on to do other bigger and better things."

            — Shane M. (5/5)

            Troma indebted scrappy filmmaking from a future great

            "It's got Macon Blair in it. That's all you need to know. But it's a joyful footnote if you enjoyed Jeremy Saulnier's later, gritter films. Funny, charming, and sick."

            — Matthew O. (5/5)

            Party on!

            "I dug it."

            — Kevin G. (5/5)

            Saulnier !

            "Happy to finally have this on disc. Good presentation."

            — Jonathan B. (5/5)

            I love this movie, and this transfer is what it deserve!

            "I’m so happy to finally have a solid copy of this first film from the brilliant Jeremy Saulnier (Green Room). Made on a very small budget, this wild movie is perfect for a Halloween night, with wildly exaggerated characters, an awkward protagonist, some great gags, and a few really fun twists. A genuinely excellent upgrade from my old DVD copy. Bonus : The cover is absolutely amazing!"

            — Rémi F. (5/5)

            Everybody Dies!

            "As far as Saulnier has come, this is still my favorite of his. Maybe because it's got that full on indie DIY spirit, maybe it's the NY art scene vibe of it, maybe it's recognizing the Pathmark store brand food in his cabinets, maybe it's nostalgia to when I first saw it and how different it was. . Either way, I fuckin love this flick."

            — Manny S. (5/5)

            Great Looking Physical Release

            "Everyone started somewhere. Jeremy Saulnier started here. Super quality film and glad to finally get a copy. Can't go wrong with a healthy dollop of Macon Blair. Killer release!"

            — Joseph M. (5/5)
