Review – Abattoir #1

Bookmark and Share

Abattoir #1 CoverI think creepy is the best word to describe Abattoir #1 from Radical Publishing.  This is the classic “scary house” story and involves a brutal murder in the middle of the perfect suburbia.

From director Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw franchise, Mother’s Day, Repo! The Genetic Opera) comes a chilling, supernatural tale set in the cold beauty of Middle America in the late 80s.

After a brutal massacre takes place in a gorgeous house, real estate agent and family man Richard Ashwalt is assigned the impossible task of picking up the pieces and selling the property. As Richard inspects the blood-soaked grounds, a twisted old man journeys to the house with a sinister and terrifying purpose. Richard is about to be drawn into a web of shadows, murders and massacres that will shatter him to his very core!

Halloween has passed, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to enjoy this scary tale.  The story is nothing of what I expected and I can’t wait to read the second issue.  I could easily see this as a classic episode of Tales From the Crypt (a compliment).

The story is just spooky and entertaining.  A definite buy for horror fans.
