Gates of Gore's Independent Horror Reviews

Starring: Bloodcountess Bathory, Jessica Cook, Josh Eal, Elysia S. Gipson, Haley Madison, Mandi Monroe, Dave Parker, Erin R. Ryan, Brandon Salkil Director: Dustin Wayde Mills A group of women are brutally slain by some psychotic killer who shares a dark secret that connects them. Kill That Bitch was the first movie I got to see from Dustin Wayde Mills and I have to say that it was  quite interesting. I was surprised that it only runs 68 minutes because I feel that more could've been explained as to what the entire connection was between the characters. I felt that was briefly talked about, but more could have been said. The acting was pretty good, especially that of Erin R. Ryan, who I am more familiar with after watching some other idie horror flicks that she is in. I can't wait to see more from her.  The death scenes were pretty brutal and that's always a plus with me, even though you can tell how low budget some of the gore and special effe...

Please help and support the making of CAMP KILLER featuring Jimmyo Burril, April Burril and Ari Lehman. This is going to be a killer film! CAMP KILLER

Starring: Thora Birch, Gideon Emery, Kavan Reece, Derek Magyar, Gloria Votsis, Todd Jensen, Vladimir Vladimirov, Koyna Ruseva, Valentin Ganev Director: Gideon Raff An American championship wrestling team, traveling through Eastern Europe, board a train headed to the Ukraine, but on this train, they are headed into hell. The first time I had heard about this movie being made, they had said it was going to be a remake of Terror Train, which I was actually looking forward to. However, I guess they took everything into a different direction as they have turned it into what you can call it "Hostel on a train". I've never really been a fan of torture porn, as I still haven't seen the Hostel flicks, but for some reason, Train just drew me in and I am so glad that I finally watched it. The torture scenes were great and brutal. All of the gore was so impressive and that's what I always look for in a horror movie. I was glued to the screen dur...

Starring: Shane Beasley, Kelsey Carlisle, Ellie Church, Dave Parker, Kaden Miller, Jennifer Lee, Haley Madison, Brian Williams, Matt Keeley Director: Arthur Cullipher Claiming to be a "lost slasher film from 1978" this film is about a  skull-masked killer, who goes on an extremely gruesome murder spree that also includes cannibalism and necrophilia. The first thing I need to say about this film is....HOLY SHIT! I can't remember if I have ever reacted to a movie like this at all, but that is really saying something. Shane Beasley, who played the killer did an incredible job. As he is butchering his victims, we gets to see his past through flashbacks and how he slowly descended into madness, which you kinda feel sorry for him at times. I am a huge gorehound and I can say that this movie made me happy. The killer doesn't just kill his victims, but he also cuts up their bodies, eats their eyeballs and decapitates them. Not only that, but he ...

Starring: Kevin Gage, Sage Stallone, Kelly K.C. Quann, Maya Barovich, Chantal Degroat, Stephen Wozniak, Deborah Lacey, Scott Richards Director: David DeFalco Two teenage girls, looking to score some ecstasy, are kidnapped, tortured, raped and murdered by a group of thugs, led by a guy named Chaos. Ever since I heard about this movie, I was looking forward to it because I had heard that it's basically a remake (or retelling) of Last House on the Left, but after watching it, I can see the similarities. The story, the thugs, the revenge and even the inept cops are all there, but for some reason, I thought Last House was way more brutal. Don't get me wrong, there was some brutality in this movie, but I just didn't think it was brutal enough. The acting was quite good. I've been familiar with lead actor, Kevin Gage ever since I saw him in Strangeland and he is a really great actor and plays the ultimate bad guy in this one.  I was feeling s...

Starring: J. Scott Green, Katelyn Marie Marshall, Selene Beretta, Jennice Carter, Kasey Williams, Ray Chao Director: Marc Fratto A group of prostitutes turns to an extremely violent home invasion to make some quick cash, but what they don't know is that the hostage they take with them is actually the Antichrist and all hell is about to break loose. I have been a fan of Marc Fratto's work ever since I first saw Strange Things Happen At Sundown, a wild vampire flick that was full of violence. Same thing goes for Last Rites of the Dead, which was his zombie flick.  So, where does that leave Hell Fire? Well, let you tell you one thing, you are in for one hell of a wild ride. The actresses that played the prostitutes did a great job. I did feel sorry for some of these women, but Rosetta was one cruel bitch, who didn't care who she killed. J. Scott Green, who portrayed The Antichrist was actually fun to watch. Some of his dialogue was pretty wit...
