PRESS REVIEWS
"Director Ouellette, effects wiz Wagner and actor Yuwi Kim team up to present an illusion of horror that plays like the real thing... A great love letter to Clive Barker-esque horror."
-The Great Midnight Sneak
"...Both a sour and brutal commentary on the commodification and consumption of women's bodies by the sex industry and on the coerced complicity of those caught up in it, and a blood-splattered satire of desperate ambition and the resultant self loathing. Beautifully shot, elegantly staged, and boasting some squirm-inducing SFX."
-Grimmfest
"Major accolades go to the cast, especially star Yuwi Kim and her co-star, Jenna Macari. Writer/Director Craig Ouellette really brought something interesting to the table (with $TRIP), and will be one of the more talked about films in this screening."
