Movie Review: Queer Survival Horror “THE RETREAT” Beats Bashers Back With A Bat
Pat Mills & Alyson M. Richards’ cabin-in-the-woods thriller may be written by and for queer-identifying genre lovers, but THE RETREAT’s brutality knows no bounds.
Pat Mills & Alyson M. Richards’ cabin-in-the-woods thriller may be written by and for queer-identifying genre lovers, but THE RETREAT’s brutality knows no bounds.
Peter Daskaloff's film is all gore, no guts.
Mykee Morettini's Italian horror pastiche does a lot with very little.
Sporadically diverting, but the movie only occasionally clears the over-the-top high bar it sets for itself.
It recaptures some of the dreadful pleasures of the early SAWs without finding genuinely fresh directions.
