Roid Rage

About This Movie

Roid Rage is one of those films that leans heavily into its horror roots, with a raw and gritty vibe that feels very much at home in the rural setting it occupies. The pacing starts off steady, almost methodical, building tension as the FBI agents navigate the twisted underbelly of the town. The atmosphere is thick with dread, especially as the mutilated bodies of local hookers start to appear. Practical effects are a standout here, some pretty gnarly stuff that really sells the horror aspects. Performances range from solid to a bit wooden, but it adds to that low-budget charm. It's distinctive for its willingness to dive into such dark themes without pulling back, making for a gritty experience that feels unvarnished and raw.
