It is too bad that the scriptstory is not up to the task here as the cast and cinematography are both good.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 10, 2022

For the Sake of Vicious is seemingly a torture porn movie with a conscience.

| Jan 26, 2022

For those looking for an easy fix of crazy violence that's expertly staged and delivered, you can't go wrong with this nasty piece of work.

| Jan 12, 2022

A classic white knuckle home invasion siege thriller that spares no one...

| Jul 20, 2021

Unlike the marauding goons piling through Romina's doors and windows, Carrer and Eveneshen burst in, do the job, and take no prisoners along the way.

| Original Score: 3 | Jul 14, 2021

For the Sake of Vicious is a fierce horror full of action. It'll kick you in the teeth, the balls, or wherever it hurts most.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 13, 2021

...explodes into a non-stop cacophony of maniacally insane violence, revenge, rage, and carnage. Pure grindhouse goodness.

| Jun 7, 2021

A remarkable calling card for the [directing] duo.

| Jun 6, 2021

Not going to win any awards for originality. However, with its welcome focus on resilient female agency (rather than female victimhood), this is an unpredictable thrill-ride, and an exemplar of small-scale domestic horror filmmaking.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 13, 2021

Bone-crunchingly, stomach-churningly violent, but so concerned with maintaining momentum that it sacrifices narrative clarity.

| Original Score: C+ | May 6, 2021

For a juicy gob of B-movie pulp, For the Sake of Vicious lives up to its title.

| Apr 21, 2021

An action horror film with clear goals and purpose, which sets out to meet them as efficiently as possible. It comes barreling through our front doors, brandishing knives with an intent to kill. Carrer and Eveneshen kill it good.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 19, 2021

This plot has elements of mystery, but it is about non stop chaotic action. Great score and awesome visuals make for an entertaining watch.

| Apr 18, 2021

You might enjoy yourself if you don't expect much character development, but do look forward to some creative uses of improvised weapons, like a hammer and a septic tank lid.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 16, 2021

Mercifully lacking any pretensions whatsoever, though merciless in every other respect, is this down-and-extremely-dirty thriller by Gabriel Carrer and Reese Eveneshen...

| Apr 15, 2021

For the Sake of Vicious loses all sense of purpose, except for senseless violence.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 15, 2021

When creative and highly trained stunt professionals are part of the alchemy of moviemaking, the results can be magical. A great example of that magic is the action/horror bloodbath For the Sake of Vicious.

| Apr 15, 2021

"For the Love of Vicious" isn't quite the twisted revenge story it initially promises to be, but for those with patience, it delivers a wild payoff.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 15, 2021

A mean, ugly little picture. Even at eighty minutes, this exercise in gratuitous violence made my skin crawl so badly that I couldn't wait for it to be over.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 14, 2021

The daft title tries to promise splatterhouse brazenness, but actually fesses up to the film's lack of imagination.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 12, 2021
