9/10
This is a near-perfect slasher film:

I can understand if some people watch a movie and are expecting it to be the most perfect film ever, but when a horror film actually blows away a years worth of bigger budget competition, you should give props.

7eventy 5ive is what horror audiences need these days...something that is original. Sure, it's all been done before when it comes to the plot lines that a slasher film can have, but you have to be naive to expect that matters the most. There are always the details of the plot and how it unfolds, and 75 gives us that. What the film really excels in is being graphic, brutal and to the point. There isn't much nonsense going on at all in the film, and unlike many slasher films, it's not littered with unplausible humor. It does have situational humor where you the audience member can laugh, though the characters are being dead serious as they should be in such terrifying situations.

This film has one of the most unrelentless killers I've seen in a film in many years. There is passion for the genre, homage, graphic gore, good acting and a worthy climax for this film. I don't know what else you need to stand out from the pack. This film needs to hit DVD soon so I can add it to my collection. You can bank on this film hitting cult status quick, too.
