Verdict on The Price We Pay
The Price We Pay is a horror thriller following a group of criminals who look to hide out in a farmhouse. However, once they arrive at the farmhouse, they learn of a much deadlier group of people using it for their own twisted games.
This is the latest blood splatter fest from director Ryuhei Kitamura. Whose previous films include The Midnight Meat Train and No One Lives. He brings a similar formula to the table, with criminals facing a deadlier series of criminals and needing to fight to survive. It doesn’t hold back on any of the violence or bloodshed. However, it doesn’t seem to do as much to make it stand out with an iconic figure as many of his other movies. It is surprising to see actors like Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff in movies this violent because, by the end, it does feel like a typical violent horror movie.
Where to Watch: The Price We Pay is Released on digital 16th October 2023.
Final Thoughts – The Price We Pay is disturbingly violent.
