“Welcome to HELL, Welcome to BARRICADE”
 
--THE PLOT
An American actress named Nina (Raine Brown) is sick and tired of the
hassle in the film industry and decides to fly over to Germany to visit
her old friend Michael (Joe Zaso) who she hasn't seen in a long time.
Michael who has had a deep crush on her and believes she is the love
of his life is surprised that she is going to fly from one side of the
world to him, so he and his flat mate David (Andre Reissig) wait for her
arrival. Michael decides that he wants to do something fun and
interesting with Nina, so going camping in the woods for the weekend
would be the ideal thing to do, but he doesn't want Nina to think that
he is a sleaze so he invites his buddy David along for the weekend
getaway. Little do they know, an inbred family  has been living and
feeding off the wildlife and  have now got the taste for human flesh.
The family  have been viscously attacking tourists, campers and
anyone who walks the muddy forest trails, consequently they end  up
being slaughtered and devoured by the bloodthirsty cannibals. The
trio soon finds themselves surrounded deep in the forest with  
nowhere to run, their only survival is to fight or be eaten.

--FINAL THOUGHTS
Barricade is a horror film that has been blasted across MySpace for the
last year or so, there is no doubt you haven't seen or probably heard
of this film at some point of time. The first time I seen the teaser
trailer I was fucking hooked like a crack head getting ready for his next
fix. I couldn't wait, and now finally I had the chance to check out this
film.
Barricade was written and directed by a German independent
filmmaker named Timo Rose, I never heard nor seen any of his other
films such as the
Mutation trilogy, but after watching Barricade I am
now kinda interested in checking out a few of his earlier films.
Barricade is a film that is very heavy on the blood and gore aspects of
horror, well it wouldn't be a horror film unless it had gore and blood
right?. Timo Rose's
Barricade delivers so much blood splatter its not
funny, and gore scenes that will make your loved one vomit in your
lap. But as for the story line, well its nothing new or fresh, in fact it
did remind me of
The Hills Have Eyes meets Wrong Turn, to tell you
the truth. Don't get me wrong, I ain't pissing on this film one bit,
cause I love those two films to death. I kinda wished that he might of
delivered something we haven't yet seen before with
Barricade.

The acting was pretty enjoyable to watch, Raine Brown (
Horror, Aunt
Rose
) who played Nina did a fantastic job with her character and not
to mention looked awesome on screen also, what a little cutie she is.
Joe Zaso (
5 Dead on the Crimson Canvas, Machines of Love and Hate)
played Michael, his acting was fucking awesome to watch also, though
I wish his character was a little more aggressive in the film, for a big
guy he didn't really do too much but scream and yell out, while Raine
went to town on the bloodthirsty ghouls. Even the man himself Timo
Rose starred in
Barricade, but not until the very end of the film, so if
you don't know who or what he looks like, well you'll soon find out.

Now the gore factor is un fucking believable, within the first five
minutes of the film you will get to see people getting gutted,
castrations, acid poured down some dudes throat and then you get to
see his face melt apart, throats slit open, multiple stabbings. Fuck I
could go on and on and on, trust me when I say this, if you love
watching films that are violent, bloody, gory and vulgar. Well this
movie is what you need to add to your collection, right fucking now.

I highly recommend any horror fan or gore-hounds who don't mind a
little bit of indie cinema in their DVD collection to buy this film right
now. But just keep in mind, a lot of people are going to find this film
offensive and repulsive to watch. Fuck even my wife up and left the
room within the first five minutes of the film, she couldn't handle
anymore, nor can I blame her. She was lucky she didn't see the scene
where one of the cannibals cut off this chicks nipple and began to
finger and fist her breast, man that was a vile scene.

I give it a few months and
Barricade will be on the customs BANNED
list in many countries worldwide, so order this DVD right now before
you are too late..
