Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Plantasma Seriously folks. How more obvious can some of these fake reviewers be? If you click on the 3 main culprits (all have similar IMDb usernames) who wrote SUPER positive reviews, you will see that each of them have all recently joined IMDb and they all HAVE ONLY EACH REVIEWED ONE MOVIE. This one. Right. Nice try.So obviously the rating here is way over-inflated through fake ratings of people who are involved with this terrible film in one way or another. The film is trash. I had an extremely hard time trying to sit through the horrible acting, the retarded dialogue, and the ridiculous attempt to be over-the-top gory. I love good indie films of any genre, but I don't have much tolerance for the dishonorable and dishonest methods of boosting reviews and ratings.Movies that try too hard to be weird without any substance don't win. Should I even mention the absolutely terrible soundtrack that doesn't fit the pacing of the movie? Or the ridiculously bad music video that starts the movie and seems to interject itself in the middle with a random girl playing piano in the back of a truck? No, no I'll let you torture yourself with this tripe.

Indyrod very mild spoilers -------------------Couple of nights ago, I viewed "Chicago Rot", and I would love to have the amazing soundtrack, it was awesome. Now, as far as the movie, I need another viewing or two because it left Me totally confused, I don't know what the hell I watched.It started out a revenge movie, then it turned to things I couldn't make much sense of, and then when the sci-fi stuff kicked in, it pretty much lost me.The ending was confusing as hell, I still don't know what it meant. The main question I ended up with, the lead character Les aka The Ghoul was supposed to be on a quest the kill the person that murdered His Mother after He was released from prison for killing a cop. That was bizarre too, He only got ten years for killing a cop?At the end, I have no idea if He accomplished that or not, because all at once all this science fiction stuff took off, and left all of that unanswered, IMO.And the ending was about as bizarre as could be. Did I like it? Yes, the visuals along with the music are amazing. but understanding the movie, I don't have a clue.

michaelkopsick I was not necessarily a horror film fan until I saw Chicago Rot. Watching this movie is not just a good time, it's an incredible experience. This film activates all of your senses and leaves you wanting to watch it all over again. I am a new horror film fan and I hope the producers / directors make more films, horror or otherwise!

josephklocke if you like rock music this film is 100% for you! this part crime thriller part gory horror part mend bending sci-fi cult classic is all tied together with a incredibly compelling original rock score! between the amazing cinematography to the outstanding hair/make up, costumes and set design i was very impressed with the film. tip of the hat to the chicago rot cast and crew!there were times i was confused with the plot but when i went back and watched it again the story revealed more details. this film definitely has layers of sub-plot. you have to pay attention. also, don't forget to look for the easter eggs!
