Peter Tidman At first glance The Horde may seem somewhat thin. I enjoyed it thoroughly and understanding what was involved in making it, the modest budget, time constraints, limitations, make this a model of creativity from Paul Logan. The skill and talent of director Jared Cohn in pulling all the factors together in producing a very entertaining and mostly shocking horror flick. Looking a little closer and recognizing the broad spectrum of talent lending itself to this film and it becomes more so. Few collaborations of creativity can boast of creating good economical entertainment time after time with the constraints harnessed to The Horde. Paul Logan shares his skills and acting talent in a way that leaves you wanting to see him in more and his story creation does not disappoint. Jared Cohn has gathered a talented cast hand picked for their ability to become the characters we see. There is no doubt that we have and will continue to be entertained in new and greater fashion again and again. See "The Horde" Watch it twice or three times and you will see more each time. Really good entertainment.

Marcey13 I had such a good time with this film, it just fitted my own personal tastes so well. I love action and I love horror and blending them together is tricky but I feel it was done extremely well here.Paul Logan is a great and likable lead, he is a bad-ass that I would want on my side! Not only does he star but he wrote the script as well, and he does know his stuff.The action hits hard and the horror is gruesome, what more could you ask for? The cast all do a pretty good job, there is the awesome inclusion of Costas Mandylor and Vernon Wells - who almost steals the show as well!Full Review: https://supermarcey.com/2016/06/06/review-the-horde-2016/

FlashCallahan .......And if that sounds like your cup of tea, it will come as no surprise that even though this film is entertaining, it has none of the scares of Wrong Turn, and barely any of the action of Commando.John Crenshaw accompanies his girlfriend and her students on a weekend photography project deep into the woods. What should be an educational and fun-filled weekend turns into the opposite as the group are besieged by a horde of hideously disfigured, mutated humans with an insatiable taste for blood. As things go from bad to worse, Crenshaw becomes their only hope if they are going to get out alive........If you are a fan of horror movies, particularly that of the 'Gorenography' sub-genre, you would instantly know that when it features Bill Moseley in the opening act as one of the nicest people in the whole film, you know that's not the last you will see of him. And that's the fundamental element that is wrong with the film, it's not original enough to be anything other than passable horror fluff. Everything has been done before, from the opening scene featuring two victims, very Wrong Turn, to the stereotypical characterisation.We have the incredibly ripped lead, who looks beyond uncomfortable in his own body, who you just know will lose his cool at least twice in the film. Then we have the students.We have your over lusted couple who sit in the back of the car kissing for the entire journey, you just know that they will go first and go quickly. Then you have the token rich boy who is abhorrent and rude to everyone.....and you just know that his death scene will be the the most drawn out one of the film, and it will be the goriest part of the film.The other two students are a little boring and have common sense, so obviously they may be safe come the end, and the teacher is the most cookie cutter of all the characters.By the way, if you think that these are spoilers, you have never seen a stalk n' slash horror film before, because it follows the same formula that everyone of these films has done in the history of cinema, because film makers don't like change.The family of killers are again your atypical selection of freaks and burly men with whom you may have seen in another film. And talking of Commando, Vernon Wells makes a special guest appearance as a face eating bad guy who has a wonderful scene with the spoilt rich boy.But then for some reason, one of the family appears to be a tree, so any element of reality is just thrown out of the proverbial window.Costas Mandylor pops up at the beginning and the third act as the big boss, because he was one of the main bad guys in Saw, and the makers must have thought 'I bet if we have him in a small role, there will be fans of Saw who will think that everything he's in will be horror gold'.It's not a terrible film by any means, but you'll have that terrible sense of déjà Vu whilst getting through it.One for gore hounds, and for people who like all of the plot explained in the final ten minutes.Oh, and the great Don 'The Dragon' Wilson pops up in what must be the weirdest cameo that I have ever seen in my life.In fact, it's worth watching just for his cameo.

James Shaw I will give credit where credit is due, the set design and makeup is decent, but that's is it for the positives for this film. This movie wouldn't be enjoyed by anyone with a mental mentality over a 12 year old's. The characters are as cookie cut as they come, the snobby rich kid, the over sexed teens, and you just want them to hurry up and die faster so you don't have to cringe at their presence any longer, I don't think you were meant to side with the murderers in this movie, but that's what it makes you do. at one point I was saying to myself "they better make that douche suffer" Our hero in this movie, the ex Seal is incredibly unbelievable, due to equally bad acting and fighting choreography. Having making a thing about being "aware of your surroundings" you could sneak up on this idiot on bubble-wrap carpet while tap dancing in golf shoes.The thing I found most infuriating about this movie is the Seal was trying to save his girlfriend and the cookie cut kids but wasted all these precious moments in the woods building elaborate booby traps, with the hopes that a single antagonist would stumble through, among the dozens, while he was playing Rambo in the woods, his main objective was being raped and murdered, it wasn't until the climax that he decided he had enough of playing Hunger Games in the woods and decided to go save his girlfriend.The whole movie was just a sloppy, badly thought out mess, and a complete waste of time, so hopefully you will decide to not endure this film like I have.2/10 set design and makeup is the only thing that justified not giving it a 1/10.
