Reviews:

“From a gothic aura to bloody gore to psychological twists and body horror, Death by 1000 Cuts packs a lot into its running time and it’s likely the kind of film you’ll find yourself wanting to watch again just to try to figure everything out. A solid indie horror effort from up-and-coming Sam Salerno, Death by 1000 Cuts taunts and teases, immerses and waterboards its way into your heart and your mind.” The Independent Critic

“If David Lynch had directed Phantasm after watching House of 1,000 Corpses it may have looked something like this. Whether or not it’s a good film is going to be a matter of individual taste and tolerance for non-linear storytelling. I enjoyed it, though I had to watch it a second time to try and figure it all out.” Voices from the Balcony
