I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Cody, Q, and Elroy are young bikers. They go to Cody's mother's birthday at her home with many other bikers. Q's girlfriend and Cody's cousin Shade joins them. There is Cody's ex Michelle with her sister Megan. As the party ends, the group is left at the house. Michelle becomes possessed and violent. As the situation deteriorates, a bright light flashes and a group seemingly from the 50s shows up taking everyone prisoner.It's not the best acted or the best written. The first half is still a good solid reasonable bloodfest. I like the splatter horror in an isolated location. The second half becomes unintelligible. It stops making sense when the other group shows up. The audience is simply left with the blood splatter orgy with a weird light show.

Mitchel Altieri directs this violent expose of the savage California biker culture with insight and skill. From the terrible opening sequences to the shattering climax, this is a film that grabs the audience by the throat and doesn't let go for a second. Not a minute of of this motion picture is wasted as the mindset of motorcycle thugs is ripped bare in all its bloodthirsty ugliness. The raw sexuality and violent nature of the characters is shocking yet mesmerizing in equal amounts and we are both repelled and attracted to these monsters on two wheels. The cast is superb in its characterizations of the Harley riding savages and their helpless prey, victims who can only save themselves by becoming savages themselves. A powerful film that is stark in its imagery and unrelenting in its depiction of biker barbarity. A difficult film to watch as it rips events from the headlines and exposes the unique breakdown of society that ensues as Northern California communities are terrorized by highway hooligans and the female citizens are ensnared in exhaust filled webs of wanton carnality. While told through the brilliant use of metaphor, the truth is all too real and much too familiar to small town residents of the Golden State.

After gathering together for a party, a group of bikers realize something's wrong with one of their members when they start behaving erratically, but that's only the start of their troubles when Satanic demons arrive at the party looking for one of their own.This was a really interesting effort that gets some really enjoyable moments about it. Ironically, this is mostly due to the fact that it doesn't decide what it wants to be works in its favor remarkably well. Initially starting off as a biker film for the first half, complete with the trials and tribulations of the crew and their business dealings before getting to the party. Once there, it turns into a rather fun and enjoyable enough possession film about one turning into a demonic creature which is where this one really gets fun in not only using the house as a fun stalking ground but also with the possession allowing for plenty of tense encounters with the constant yelling, graphic attacks and restraint attempts that are brought on against the possessed which makes for quite a fun time overall. This signals another part here with it turning into a plot by Satanic demons in '50s hipster outfits that stalls this one somewhat with a really banal knife-fight as well as the fine birthing sequence itself which comes off the best of these scenes in here. These here make for a nice series of twists which makes for quite an interesting and jarring look that it works in making it enjoyable by weaving these seemingly different elements together. As well, with the fine gore and nudity there's enough which holds this up alongside the few small flaws. The biggest factor here with this one comes from the final half, where this one tends to get lowered slightly by the appearance of the villains as their retro-greaser look might not be as scary as it could've been since they look pretty laughable while the slang and taunts eventually grow thin since these scenes eventually add up to untold amounts of time doing nothing, which is only afterward in thinking about it so it's not so bad. As well, there's nothing about the true intentions or relationship here as it turns into their lame attempts at taunting the group rather than simply letting loose with their plan from their start, compounded from the start here as they themselves mention the need to toy with them while it plays the course so there's little need for them to show up when they did if the process was never really that close to being finished anyway. Still, it works well and is definitely fun enough.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Full Nudity and several sex scenes.

The Violent Kind. After I watched this film I read some of the reviews. It was pretty appalling to see what some people had to say about this movie. Right after I saw it I wanted to purchase it. I felt like it was reviewed pretty harshly. I will say it's definitely not mainstream. If you are bored with the same old plots and twists than give this movie a shot. Personally,I had high expectations for this movie...and it surely delivered! I'm not going to ruin anything by giving a detailed review. I will say that it has bikers, vintage cars, violence,throwbacks to the 1950's and a touch of Lovecraftian twist. The actors and actresses do a very good job here. The effects are better than some you see in the mainstream trash they put out now. The plot itself keeps you guessing at what's going to happen next, which I can't say for most horror movies. Great movie and can't wait for more.
