Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands Killer Concept doesn’t reinvent the slasher wheel, but it does supply a helluva good time. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 11, 2024 Full Review Martin Unsworth Starburst Killer Concept comes alive when the writers' are trying to formulate the story, and we've no doubt that the situation will ring true to many indie creatives. Rated: 3/5 Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Alix Turner Horror Obsessive The writing is especially tight, though I do wish we got to find out a little more about the killer's motivations. That said, it is both engaging and entertaining; and when you consider the minuscule budget, it's all around an impressive result. Rated: 3/5 Sep 9, 2021 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film It's not the most attention-grabbing film you'll see this year, but it does what it does well and that's worthy of attention in any up-and-coming creative team. Rated: 3/5 Sep 3, 2021 Full Review Shaun Munro Flickering Myth Killer Concept doesn't quite take its horror or comedy far enough, but there's clear talent behind the production, and I'm curious to see what they come up with next. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 30, 2021 Full Review Kat Hughes THN Killings, comedy, romance, commentary on the filmmaking processes and ideologies collide with very entertaining results. Rated: 3/5 Aug 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Johnny S the film struggles to find an identity Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member There is a lot to like about this movie. First of all, the camera work is fantastic, and the music is on point. Not your average serial killer movie. This one comes from a different and exciting perspective. All actors do a great job, but Mark's character is outstanding, played by who also happens to be the director (Glenn Payne). It is very nice to find independent projects of such quality and talented people. The story has many surprises, which I won't talk about, but expect the unexpected from start to finish. I highly recommend it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Couldn't get through it. Same old rote useless horseshit. As if I didn't know one of them was the killer in the first 1.2 seconds. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Unlike a lot of low budget indie horror movies, this one stays away from cliche, focuses on well-written and entertaining dialogue, and most of all, has a lot of fun with the genre. To say they got a lot of mileage for their money undercuts some seriously good filmmaking. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Great movie, mixing between dark fantasies of one person and the reality of others. Was fun and thrilling! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed this film. This one kept me on the edge of my seat. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
