06/13/2020 If you like throwback 80's horror flicks then sit back, relax, and enjoy the fun ride that Distiller will take you on. It's perfectly silly and wonderfully overdone just like some of the campy original hits of this genre and you'll find yourself smiling throughout. See more 06/02/2020 80's nostalgia is real and has come alive in this unique horror film. Some fun VFX add to the enjoyment of this comedic romp into the horror genre. See more 05/26/2020 Distiller is an indie horror film where a horde of angry spirits stored in liquor bottles was released on a fourth of July party. The spirits were captured in the bottles by Blue Moon's uncle who was a ghost hunter. He disappeared and left her the house. The film has an interesting plot thatsets it apart from the recent horror flicks. We needed a break from the same old scare tactics with CGI, unnecessary gore and lousy jump scares. Distiller manages to make this horror film enjoyable with its reminiscence of the horror films of the 80s and the 90s. Furthermore, many people found it similar to the tone of Ghostbusters, Gremlins and the Evil Dead including myself. Although, it is a low budget film it had good practical and visual effects. But the film falls short on the audio mixing which could have been improved. The characters with their campy acting and tacky special effects from time to time which made it fun to watch. Therefore, the film is not to be taken seriously if you want to enjoy it. Distiller may not be a great horror film but it manages to keep you entertained. See more 05/19/2020 It's one of those indies that if you can relax your how gloss, super budget film habits...maybe a beer...maybe get your 420 glow...it's all gonna be just fine. There is some clever quips and that sorta Ghostbuster glow to it. I adore the spirit trapping power of booze bottle horn blowing to capture the mean spirits! Where storage of the evil after lifers is more profitable than capturing them! It's indie indie so if you are to enjoy a flick where you don't know the actors and enjoy the charm and simplicity of low budget visual effects...jump in. My friend calls it a two beer, two shot or two puff kinda flick. Sounds good to me. See more 05/17/2020 What a great watch! I thought it was so entertaining. It sends you back to the golden age of monsters movies by masters such as John Carpenter or David Cronenberg! Well done! See more 05/06/2020 A ghost hunter who "distills" his prizes begrudgingly travels the world until suddenly things go awry. His niece inherits her uncle's collection, and -- well, you will have to see the rest to find out. Distiller is one of those movies you are not sure about in the beginning, but get sucked in bit by bit because of the tone. It's reminiscent of your favorite 80's type horror movies, but with a fun, low budget sensibility. I even dare say Evil Dead (the first one) feeling sometimes. It reminded me of my high school summers with my friends when we had a stack of tapes to watch for the day. The special effects fit the movie perfectly and make Distiller a campy, different, and a welcome distraction. During this shelter-in-place, it's precisely just what the doctor ordered.
