I was not necessarily a horror film fan until I saw Chicago Rot. Watching this movie is not just a good time, it's an incredible experience. This film activates all of your senses and leaves you wanting to watch it all over again. I am a new horror film fan and I hope the producers / directors make more films, horror or otherwise!

Chicago Rot is a gory masterpiece with all the earmarks of an indy cult horrific thriller. From the guy in the background jerking off while wearing a blue leisure suit, down to the significance of the license plate on a green Cadillac, there's enough in the cracks of this film to dissect and discuss for years.Unfortunately, the story of "The Ghoul" is lost in the show stealing barrage of blood. It's a hard to follow sea of death where a voice on the radio detailing the back story is the only time you're sure to have it right.The characters don't command emotional attachments leaving the audience feeling apathetic toward who lives and who dies. However, the fight, murder and death by dildo scenes are so well shot and assembled, competently revealing brutal moments with striking detail, that you are compelled to wish for everyone in the film to die, simply to take pleasure in the carnage.The special effects are incredible. The sound effects are fantastic. The music is great albeit at times ponderous to the point I was eager to hear a voice without music beneath it. An amazing job from start to finish on the visual candy and the construction of the scenes were the enabling forces that allowed me to finish watching this movie even when not completely in tune with the narrative.I look forward to their next film, where perhaps I'll find myself being emotionally involved with the characters.But, what do I know? I enjoy Adam Sandler movies.

if you like rock music this film is 100% for you! this part crime thriller part gory horror part mend bending sci-fi cult classic is all tied together with a incredibly compelling original rock score! between the amazing cinematography to the outstanding hair/make up, costumes and set design i was very impressed with the film. tip of the hat to the chicago rot cast and crew!there were times i was confused with the plot but when i went back and watched it again the story revealed more details. this film definitely has layers of sub-plot. you have to pay attention. also, don't forget to look for the easter eggs!

CHICAGO ROT is a gritty horror film made on a micro budget. It's a revenge story about a former convict hunting for a sicko murderer responsible for the death of his family. As a film it's fairly well shot, so it's just a shame that the subject matter is equal parts distasteful and equal parts predictable. The end result offers plenty of gloomy atmosphere and some unpalatable moments of extreme bad taste gore.
