REVIEWS


VARIETY

"Plenty of gross-out humor plus the usual head-butting heroics, but there's something more ambitious going on... [Mulberry Street’s] interest in character and tone, makes it a cut above."


FANGORIA MAGAZINE

“One of the best independent horror features in years!”

"An allegory for post-9/11 Manhattan, MULBERRY STREET is anything but your run-of-the-mill horror flick. Truly a New York story, it is a leap above almost every other low-budget zombie film and one of the highlights of the Tribeca fest, and should certainly not be missed. Although there’s no question that it is a B-movie, the film is as close to an A as one can get."


FILM THREAT ( 4 1/2 out of 5)

“I can’t really think of another recent example of filmmaking in its purest form that tops "Mulberry Street"... as close you'll ever get to a true spiritual descendant to the political side of "Night of the Living Dead,"... while at the same time spinning a damn good yarn about a monster invasion... "Mulberry Street" is what you want to watch when you’re a horror movie fan.”


TWITCH FILM

“It is distinctly more than the sum of its parts due to an excellent screenplay that emphasizes character and subtext over gore and action... The balance here combined with juggling only a limited amount of money marks a pretty impressive debut feature effort... you’ll be thinking about it after the credits roll.”


Bloody-Disgusting.com

"Comes thru to your senses like a high definition LCD in place of your 1965 Zenith B&W TV. The screenplay is magnificent, the shooting and direction are near superb, and the acting is Tiger Woods above par... its effectively disturbing... efforts like Mulberry Street make [Tribeca] just bloody worth while."


IGN Syndication:

"So understated and yet exciting is Damici's take on Clutch (both in terms of acting and writing, since he also co-scripted the film with its director Jim Mickle) that the character quickly rises through the ranks of genre movie tough-guy heroes during this film's brief 90 minutes, just about taking his place up there with such greats as John Rambo, Dirty Harry, and even Mad Max --while never devolving into the realm of near-parody that those three did in their latter adventures. This guy is that cool."


ArrowInTheHead.com (8 out of 10)

"The best movie I saw at [Tribeca], and the one most likely to collect a fervent fanbase...”Mulberry Street” is a sober and very intense flick...allegorical, subversive [in] nature... has a flair for the darkly comic, and a tendency to disturb and thrill with its grisly violence... a must see"


DREAD CENTRAL ( 4 out of 5)

“If you’re in the mood for a tense and terrifying claustrophobic heart attack, seek out “Mulberry Street” and see just how much can be done with just the passion to make something different.”
