Leave your thoughts about The Retaliators.
| CineVueMartyn ConterioWritten by first-time screenwriters Darren and Jeff Allen Geare, The Retaliators deserves praise for its storytelling and plotting. For a good hour or so, the direction in which the film heads is destination unknown. |
| We Got This CoveredMatthew PejkovicA blood-soaked tale of morality and vengeance backed by a hard rocking soundtrack, what 'The Retaliators' lacks in depth, it makes up as a grimy horror thriller sure to appease grindhouse fans. |
| IGNMatt DonatoThe Retaliators tries to transform musical stardom into a rock n’ roll horror epic, but suffers from “too many cooks” syndrome as the end product plays disjointed and can feel like a music video demo reel. |
| Screen RantGraeme GuttmannAs a piece of horror, the film is certainly effective, achieving a kind of discomforting aura that is sometimes missing from the too-polished genre fare released all-too-frequently. |
| The A.V. ClubMark KeizerThe film teases us with hat-tips and in-jokes and then pushes them aside to become an ungainly horror mashup that works in pieces, most notably during its climatic free-for-all, but not as a whole. In The Retaliators, the storylines fly in as many directions as the blood. |
| The GuardianLeslie FelperinWithout revealing which one wins out, I can assure you that a huge amount of murderous mayhem is unleashed, including death by woodchipper. |
| User ReviewVixter1_A fair surprise I got after I saw this movie in a theater near me, went with little to no expectations, looking for a common horror film, with jumpscares and metal singers' cameos (I went to this film just because i'm a huge Ice Nine Kills fan), but what I got was nothing I expected, instead of a horror/slasher film, what I saw was a film about crime/thriller with horror aspects in it, that touches the themes of religion, grief and revenge in an interesting way. My biggest problem was at the beginning of the film, the writing and the acting wasn't any good, but after that car scene, everything turned up a notch and I got gripped (and surprised) with everything that happened during the story. |
