PRESS
"This is the kind of movie that you wish you could unsee, the kind of movie that you have to watch in your peripheral vision because staring at it straight-on would be way too nauseating"
- David Ehrlich, INDIEWIRE
“Sometimes a movie is made which pushes the boundaries of decency & artistry to breaking point. Such films truly make us wonder which vulgar mind conjured them up and decided to commit their depraved thoughts to celluloid.”
- Emily Browne, movieplot.com
“One of the most bizarre, original, and flat-out gross films you'll ever see.”
- Curt Oglesbee, NIGHTMARISH CONJURINGS
"Shades of deceptive brilliance throughout...much kudos to Peter Vack and the entire cast/crew for making the kind of art that many others wouldn't even dare to."
- TALK FILM SOCIETY
“Assholes is about as risky and experimental as they come.”
-Heather Wixson, DAILY DEAD
