Review of The Roost (2005) by Aaron S — 14 Nov 2008

This movie was an excellent homage to old fashion, drive-in horror, which sets up the film as part of a late night television special, even equipped with a ghoulish host in a haunted castle that spins us a tale about four friends marooned on the countryside where the bats have turned and have decided to start killing people, with zombified results! This is a terrific film that approached the killer bats theme with originality and fun.

I REALLY enjoyed this. After watching this film, I expected big things from newcomer Ti West, who hasn't disappointed yet by bringing us dingy and dirty grindhouse-style films like this one, as well as another darn good flick Trigger Man, and the upcoming (taking forever though) Cabin Fever 2.
