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.

Daily Grindhouse

BRUTE 1976 feels very much like a modern movie trying to emulate the ‘70s, rather than something authentic.

Rated: C+

Cinema Crazed

Brute 1976 is a violent mix of desert fiends, fashion folks, and what happens when people are left alone outside of society for too long.

Morbidly Beautiful

Brute 1976 is exactly what its name promises: a nasty and brutal affair that feels like a blood-soaked love letter to the grindhouse slashers of the 70s. A visceral, unapologetic throwback that wears its influences proudly on its sleeve.

Rated: 3.5/5

For those who enjoy unapologetic homages to 1970s horror, I won’t mince my words: Add Brute 1976 to your summer watch list immediately.

Rated: 3.5/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

Brute 1976 borrows from its influences but it doesn’t do it subtly, and that quickly becomes frustrating as more shallow characters are introduced as our inevitable lambs to the slaughter.

Rated: 2.5/5
