Bikers tangle with the spirits of the dead in this genre mashup from the writing and directing team the Butcher Brothers. Cody (Cory Knuaf) and Q (Bret Roberts) are a pair of outlaw bikers who are looking to lay low and have a few laughs after a deal with some drug runners takes a turn for the worse. Cody's mother will be celebrating her birthday soon, so he and Q hop on their hogs and head to Oakland for the festivities. The party turns out to be a major biker bash, with riders from far and wide represented, but when things start winding down, the evening takes a serious turn for the worse. A guest turns up dead, Cody's former girlfriend undergoes a terrible transformation and there's no way to call for help. As Cody and Q try to make sense of it all, the party is visited by the spirits of a deceased biker club from the 1950s, who are restless and looking to settle some scores. The Violent Kind received its world premiere as a special midnight attraction at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.

  • Aside from skinny young bikers that I never see in real life, this was an original supernatural film. The acting isn't great, the budget certainly wasn't expensive and casting could've been better, but the film maintains eeriness that stays somewhat unexplained and gave me a creepy feeling.

  • Not a bad effort. The film picks up quite considerably when the missing gang turns up and injects some much needed excitement.. Quite original in parts and certainly not as disappointing as some suggest.

  • Perhaps I am extremely thick and perverted as one of the below reviews suggests, but I mostly enjoyed The Violent Kind. In many ways, the movie reminds me of a hyper-violent version of Sometimes They Come Back but with a completely different twist. The Violent Kind follows a group of modern bikers and their groupies as they fall prey to a twisted bunch of potentially paranormal bikers that seem like throwbacks to Rebel Without a Cause, a film that is discussed ad nauseum in the movie. I enjoiyed this as a somewhat original idea for a horror film that goes to unexpected places. It is never brilliant and is a bit too long--ten to twenty minutes could have easily been cut--however, it manages to be both brutal and surprising at the same time.

  • Full confession: I went into this one with only an interest in seeing the gorgeous Tiffany Shepis, but was pleasantly surprised by how much it entertained me. The mash-up of several genres is very intriguing, though I have to say that the pretty guys meant to be hardcore bikers aren't as convincing as they could be, but if you can get past that, there's a bunch of fun stuff to dig into here.The undead from the '50s turn up to torment modern day bikers in a remote cabin, but anyone in the periphery soon falls victim to their bloody rampage.Decent enough little flick, give it a rental.

  • Bikers party at an isolated house, but a scarier, even more violent force is lurking in the woods outside. Grindhouse-style pic starts as a plodding EVIL DEAD-style grind but picks up when the devil-worshiping alien rockabilly ghosts show up; if the energy of the last third had been spread out through the entire movie, it would have been an above average horror.

  • Not for everyone. Very violent, lots of gory scenes, some decent torture, & full frontal female nudity scene as well. Good acting with a script that keeps you guessing what the ?*& is going on.

  • Really shows you that a decently good movie can be made in only 21 days on a small budget that doesn't suck... A good story driven tale is really quite nice to see in today's sequel after sequel world... WELL worth watching.. Good performances all around...
