"a lo-fi masterpiece and a cult classic in the making […] the Citizen Kane of gory stupidity."
Nightmare on Film Street
"It’s a film so outlandish and impeccably crafted at every turn that it practically feels surreal that it even exists. [... ] We can actually retire cinema forever after this."
Awards Radar
"From its knack for blood, catchy tunes, and massive heart, 'Chainsaws Were Singing' is a delight from start to finish."
Collider
"This movie needs to be seen more than once, memorized as well as possible, and then quoted in public to people who have no idea of the context. It’s that much fun."
BIFF BAM POP!
"This film brims with genuine cinematic ingenuity and an infectious playfulness that will put a song in your heart and a smile on your face."
Fantasia
"The film is a quirky delight that fans of gore, musicals, and comedy horror films owe themselves to seek out."
