Reviews

"Contrary to many films of its kind, DECAY’s plot fosters hope in a most unlikely scenario. - I don’t know, man. I really dug it." -Fangoria[7]
"Meticulous and engrossing, DECAY is a film that involves some pretty horrific subject matter, but in the end, it perfectly exemplifies in a sometimes gorgeous, sometimes soul-crunching, and sometimes nightmarish manner." -Aint It Cool News[8]
"With strong visuals and fantastically realised characters, Decay rises above its obvious inspirations such as the recent Maniac remake, One Hour Photo, and Psycho, to become its own rare beast: A horror with more heart than most." -UK Horror Scene [9]
"Captivating yet Tragic Character Study" -Red Carpet Report [10]
"Decay cleverly takes a subject that would normally serve as an excuse to deliver trashy clichés and injects some interesting concepts; loneliness being the main theme tackled head-on in a way rarely seen." -The Slaughtered Bird [11]
"Featuring a mesmerizing performance by Rob Zabrecky in writer-director Joseph Wartnerchaney’s vividly nightmarish pic." -Irish Film Critic[12]
