Reviews for Ciavarello's HARDCORE POISONED EYES

"This is one of the most original, intense horror visions I've seen in a while, and Ciavarello looks to be a promising new talent in the bloody field of fear film. " -SLEAZEGRINDER, sleazegrinder.com

"Ciavarello has managed to create a gut-wrenching nightmare that recalls the low-budget ingenuity of films like Halloween, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Night of the Living Dead. It's thrilling the way it builds tension to its breaking point with the mere threat of danger, shocks us with sudden bursts of violence, and keeps the suspense building even after you think it couldn't possibly continue at that level of heart-pounding intensity. Luckily, it's as smart as it is frightening." -Michael B. Scrutchin, FLIPSIDE MOVIES.COM

"it's been a long time since I've experienced the entertainment and dark chills that I did when viewing HPE. The simplicity of the plot and complexity of the story juxtapose into a well-crafted and truly captivating movie, one which I couldn't help getting sucked into. It's violent and gory in parts, which will satisfy your gore-bone - but also brooding and suspenseful, which I found to be quite a shock. It's rare that I find any movie lately that can deliver the chills that Sal and his crew put forth. " - C. Lochlyn Carter, DIABOLICAL-DOMINION.com

"There are some truly chilling moments in this film, and you're probably gonna want to watch it more than once, right off the bat. Sal Ciavarello has crafted a slick and effective horror film." - Lawrence P. Raffel, Monstersatplay.com
