A Hard Place (2025)

A Hard Place is a low-budget horror movie perfect for gore fans and anyone who loves that grimy, tawdry grindhouse style. It’s a really fun film that keeps the tradition of B-movies alive, and as an added bonus, its low budget means no CGI! These are all practical effects, which leads to a bloody, oozy, crackling, guts-filled return to classic filmmaking. Plus, it’s loaded with horror legends! Felissa Rose (Sleepaway Camp), Bai Ling (The Crow), and Lynn Lowry (The Crazies) are all in the movie!!!! A Hard Place will be a great time for genre aficionados and the horror fandom.

A Hard Place is for the horror heads who eat up B-movie shlock like it's cereal—and I know because I'm one of them. This movie knows exactly who its target audience is and gleefully delivers gnarly practical effects, tropey characters, over-the-top gore, and a healthy helping of stupid humor. It's a movie best watched in the background or with a group of friends who understand horror doesn't need to be good to be fun. It's like Return of the Living Dead meets Texas Chain Saw, but with a much lower budget and modernized feel. Felissa Rose and Lynn Lowry make it worth the watch alone!
