Author: Cpt_Enmore from Dark Side of the Moon

"A very badass REVENGE flick" -Harry Knowles, Ain't it Cool News

"one of the most intense, powerful, and aggressively compelling films I've seen in quite some time...a stunning lead performance by Peter Marshall...one rock-solid thriller that powers forward from frame one and never takes the easy way out." -Scott Wienberg, Fearnet

"Writer/director Steven Kastrissios creates a pulverizing experience." -Peter Martin, Cinematical

"This is how a revenge flick is done...Kastrissios deftly builds that momentum to the point that the audience actually cheers with each excruciating turn." -Annette Kellerman, Ain't It Cool News

"A riveting revenge thriller...a high impact, well crafted film that pushes the boundaries in every direction...among the best, most realistic and harrowing fight scenes captured on film anywhere." -Andrew Urban, Urban Cinefile

"The Horseman is a balls to the wall, edgy thriller. A simple, fast paced action movie - the kind people used to make in the 70's. Think 'Get Carter' in stubbies crossed with Tarantino." -Greg Mclean (Wolf Creek, Rogue)

"Powerful...Marshall's performance is stunning." -Rob Hood, Black Magazine

"Kastrissios might just be the first director in a long time that truly gets the revenge genre." -Quiet Earth
