The Retaliators (2021)

Part Horror Movie/Part Crime Drama/Part Revenge Movie/100% Percent Grindhouse Throwback

[9/10 · 16 September 2022]

I had been following this one for a month directly from the hu's TikTok page and on Facebook and I went to go see it finally last night and it was brutal, for it being a horror movie, it delivered on the blood n gore front and I loved the rock and metal soundtrack too (that was a big draw for me), although for it being a revenge movie, I was expecting a lot more fight scenes out of it since you always think of the hero kicking ass and taking names whenever you hear "revenge movie", and for the crime drama touch, I would've liked to see the biker gang rivalry that was hinted at which also harkens back to the "more action" gripe. But overall I was really satisfied with it, especially since it was an overall throwback to 80's grindhouse with plentiful gore, graphic deaths, hot women, titties, guns, vicious action, cussing, and a bangin soundtrack.
