"Up-and-coming horror director Ti West (The Roost, the forthcoming Cabin Fever 2) delivers in spades with this hybrid thriller, equal parts art film and exploitation flick. On a hunting getaway, three friends while away the time drinking beer, shooting tree stumps and waiting for the rush of a sudden kill. With one unnerving shock, their weekend takes a horrific turn, and Trigger Man brutally shifts from low gear to maximum overdrive.
Only in his mid-twenties, director Ti West has already enjoyed a significant success in the independent horror arena with his film, The Roost. For his second feature, Trigger Man, West shifts focus from the old-school supernatural chills of his debut to a more abstract, cinema verité-styled suspense thriller with a heightened sense of realism.
Executive-produced by director Larry Fessenden (Wendigo), Trigger Man is, in the words of West (who also wrote, edited, photographed and co-produced), "an existential and borderline experimental art-horror film," and that's an accurate assessment. West's film makes the threatening forces largely anonymous and random -- and the violence, while gory, is sharp and sudden (thankfully, this is not another "rural psycho torture" movie). Enjoy West's distinctive low-budget regional genre filmmaking while you can -- he's currently filming a big-budget sequel to Cabin Fever for Lionsgate."
I slam everyone who thought The Roost was anything more than a carbon copy rip off attempt at something that worked in the 80's. I think Ti West is overrated at this point. Seems to be cinematographically artistic but thats about it. ROOST SUCKED
