Reviews:
“Once the novelty of a Duke killing people wears off it gets repetitive. Even the gimmick of Duke somehow producing all manner of weapons wears thin quick. The rest of the cast are annoying and ridiculously over the top, the kind of characters you want to see killed. For those who just want to see a stream of bloody deaths this could do the job. ” Beneath the Underground
“CarousHELL is the funniest horror comedy of 2016, as well as most brilliantly bizarre – and it is further proof that underground horror is well worth scouring, for it is there you shall unearth many hidden gems, some of which might even have unicorn sex.” Dread Central
“There was a few kills that looked way bigger than the budget would normally allow. My hat is off to the effects team for those but there was a few that threw me off. A different camera angle should have been used. Overall, CarousHELL is exactly what the horror community needs.” Horror Society
