"It really is an impressive production and that to me really makes the film, while it didn't really click for me as a full film, there were definitely a lot of scenes/moments that work really well and I am excited to give it another whirl soon."
"In regards to the feature, this is the first time a Joe Begos joint has left me wanting. It's very much in the spirit of his gory, neon drenched filmography but it feels somewhat underdeveloped. Begos (Jimmy) and Matt Mercer (Stiggs) have fun chemistry as two estranged friends who are forced to survive an alien attack together. I would've preferred that relationship be the focus instead of endless scenes of Jimmy running wild, slashing up aliens, and screaming f bombs. As for the physical specs, there's nothing to complain about. Both the UHD and Blu-ray transfers look fantastic. Two audio commentaries, a 2. 5 hour BTS, plus an interview with Mercer and producer/co-star Josh Ethier fill out the extras section. In the final analysis, it's an exciting introduction to Eli Roth's new label The Horror section. Hopefully VFW, Bliss, and Christmas Bloody Christmas get the same loving treatment soon."
"Great little flick made during the pandemic, a lot of fun and weird honest. I mean that in the best way possible. The slipcover looks fantastic! Outing."
"Joe Begos delivers a true punk rock movie. Filmed over 4 years in his apartment with 16mm film and neon drenched practical effects, this is the ultimate rallying call for indie filmmakers to go make your movie! No excuses!"
"The UHD looks fantastic, lovely slipcover, but I gotta admit, I didn't love this one."
"This was just wildly over the top, drug and alcohol fueled, DIY neon splattered madness. Even at a svelte 80 minutes, it does get a bit repetitive at times, but for the most part this is some crazy fun. I wasn't really a fan of Begos' Christmas Bloody Christmas, but I think the one setting (filmed in his own apartment!) and shorter run time played to his advantage here. I will say that the dialogue is dumb as hell, it's really hard to care about either of these characters, and Begos is not exactly the best actor. However. . . look, none of that is why you are watching this. If you're looking for something heavily inspired by early Peter Jackson and Sam Raimi, and is just ridiculously goopy and (neon) gory, this might just be your jam."
"Gorgeous slipcase cover nice release and with a few extras"
"Balls to the wall, action horror on a small scale and almost entirely practical"
"In Joe Begos I trust. I’ve liked everything he’s made and I’m excited for this onez"
"Super fun film! Amazing slipcover!"
