Awards and Accolades

REVIEWS:

…a film that constantly keeps you on your toes, entertains with witty dialogue and captivating characters, and never falls too close to any filmmaking cliches.”~ Rabid Dog Press

“Trippin’ is a cleverly constructed dark comedy, that never lets up, constantly causing uncontrollable attacks of laughter. Blended perfectly with fair amounts of 80s style splatter gore, the film perfectly captures the best of both genres.” ~Liberal Dead

“…a ramped-up riotous rock n’ roll weed treat with red hairs galore, some excellent gore and much, much more!” ~Kotori Magazine

“It’s funny as a comedy, sharp as social commentary and scary as a horror story, a success on every front…This deserves to succeed.” ~Apocalypse Later

“Full of gore, scares and sex, this film balances the absurd with the smart in an engaging way” ~Brutal as Hell

…campy as hell, full of drugs, gore, and sex, and loads of fun, but it never loses sight of the fact that interesting and ironic character dynamics are what make a film like this work... Trippin’ is horror, and it is a comedy, but it is also a smart, multi-layered film which manages to avoid the genre-pandering and other pitfalls that have come to define today’s horror-comedy genre.” ~Film Radar

“… a good, solid piece of entertainment, honestly striving to take the audience someplace they have not already been. The road may look familiar but the destination is uncharted territory!”  ~Killingboxx

“trippin’ is more than the inane, generic fright fests it riffs on.  It’s smart, dark and cunning—much like its writer/director.” ~Slammed and Damned

Trippin’ f*cking delivers. People die, frogs are smashed, spaghetti is eaten, and it all looks great.” ~Cinemeh.com

“A very cool, funny and tasty film from some really creative minds.” ~HorrorNews.net

“Trippin’ is a playfully ironic comedy horror delight…clever, funny, slightly scary at times, entertaining, fun, and weird and wacky as hell.” ~Tampafilmfan.com

Snively throws every medium from animation to puppetry into the mix, to create a stoner horror-comedy from hell. Expect frog splatter, bear-traps and one of the most surreal trip sequences this side of Alejandro Jodorowsky.” ~Phoenix Fear Fest

C’est un film au budget petit petit petit, mais fait avec un coeur gros comme la poitrine de Victoria Silvstedt” ~Frederic C. scifi-universe.com

Snively takes what could be just a tired horror staple and moves it in different directions, coming up with something much more original…complete stoner Zed (Wilson) is particularly amusing, with a cheerfully open approach to life, liberty and the pursuit of pharmaceuticals. ” – Trash City

“…a goofy and macabre spoof of scary thrillers that is itself a perfect example of the genre it makes fun of.” ~Santa Monica Sun

I’d put it in the same kind of category as Shaun of the Dead, funny throughout with the tone of the humour getting darker as the film progresses. A nice take on ‘teens trapped in a cabin in the wood’, with a lot of meta humour.” ~Significant Kinks

“…it’s like a cross between a horror film and a stoner comedy. The whole thing looks like an E.C. Horror comic, which seems to be the signature style of the director Devi Snively.” ~Exterminatus Now

“a funny weed-infused slice of madness!” ~South African Horrorfest

It’s “The Big Chill for a Kevin Smith generation with a puppet!” ~Kevin Smith (but not that Kevin Smith, a fan of the trailer we met in line for “The Room” at the Laemmle Sunset 5)

Great female characters.  Refreshingly different!” ~Molly Mayock, Co-Director, A Feeding Frenzy Screenplay Competition
