‘Director’s Cut’ is as predictable as it is forgettable.

A flawed but spirited take on musical ambitions gone awry.

While it does have its flaws and doesn't end on the most satisfying note, Director's Cut is an inviting 90 minutes of grungy, angst-filled slashing.

Rated: 7/10

[A]n homage to 1980s and ‘90s slasher movies, [it] keeps things moving and both Ochoa and Ivy deliver performances...better than they need to be.... [W]hile 'Director’s Cut' may not be devilishly good, it’s also not damnably bad. Let’s call it a cut above

Squanders a serviceable premise with a painfully bland and calculable execution.

Rated: 4/10

American Satan meets Green Room with a decidedly Gothic aesthetic, Director’s Cut is a fun union between music and horror.

Rated: 3/5

met the director at the Westchester horror and tattoo con. We watched the movie tonight. A very good story/ writing for an indy film. I wanted more action but for a low budget horror I think they did an excellent job. The actors are all unknown but good, and there is a possible sequel being set up here. Much better than the majority pf the stuff on these platforms right now. Hopefully the sequel has more blood.

There were some funny moments and the main character was really fun to watch. The tension was high and it got pretty creepy at times.

This movie was awesome! If you like horror this is a must see. It leaves you on the edge of your seat and the ending opens the door for a sequel. So gory and so good.
