"Really fun to watch, thanks to likeable characters (heck, even the psycho's likeable in a way), some great situation comedy, suitable meanness in all the right spots, and actually a pretty decent narrative buildup to it all."
"Clearly inspired by the slasher films of the early 80s (there was a definite "Friday the 13th" influence here), for the most part I actually found this to be quite good fun."
"Kyle Hytonen’s short film Massacre at Femur Creek is about to make its festival run. I was lucky enough to get an early screening, and I can definitely tell you this awesome horror-comedy is a must-see."
"The film is fun, with a terrific 80’s inspired synth soundtrack and great performances by Nigel Grinsted and Andrew Barr as the film’s bumbling leads. It oozes with great atmosphere and the right look and feel for a classic backwoods slasher."
"The jokes are broad and dirty, and while not every laugh hits its mark, Massacre at Femur Creek completely succeeds as a Clerks meets Friday the 13th mashup."
"Where other recent slasher tributes completely fail, "Femur Creek" fully succeeds by giving us sympathetic characters, amusing dialogue, a cool killer, a decent portion of gore, and lots of marvellous nostalgia awesomeness."
""Tastefully offensive and full of laughs...Plain and simple MASSACRE AT FEMUR CREEK is a riot and then some!"
"While the movie has a few turns that might be unexpected for the genre, it is still just another slasher throwback that either makes fun of itself or the genre."
"Bloody good. If you like campy horror films with heart pumping, knife wielding, chop scenes, this is for you."
"Massacre at Femur Creek is an easy pill to swallow and you’ll have some fun doing so."
"Massacre at Femur Creek definitely gets an A for effort, but I somewhat wish that it treated itself a bit more seriously."
"This movie goes for the funny bone as well the jugular and the jokes work really well, and at the risk of showing my age, they are really funny if you are old enough to remember the 80’s!"
"Massacre at Femur Creek is a great throwback to the slashers from the golden age. It has some great kills and it takes no time to get into the action. This film is essential for all slasher fans."
"Playing with eighties horror tropes and typical camping-trip-gone-wrong scenarios, director Kyle Hytonen's Massacre at Femur Creek definitely accomplishes being an exercise in exploitation."
"I do enjoy it when I run across a retro slasher film tribute, that cares enough to have high production values, but can also rock a Sony Walkman with reckless abandon."
"Massacre At Femur Creek did what it probably set out to do and that’s entertain. The production value and professionalism technically is as good as anything in the genre."
