The Violent Kind is a horror film directed by the Butcher Brothers and released in 2010. The movie features a cast of relatively unknown actors, including Cory Knauf, Joe Egender, and Taylor Cole in leading roles. The film is set in the late 1960s and focuses on a group of bikers who get trapped in a remote farmhouse while a series of strange and violent events unfold.

The movie begins with a group of bikers who are headed to a party at a farmhouse in rural California. During their journey, the group members show off their motorcycles and engage in typical biker behaviors, including drinking and flirting with women. On arrival at the farmhouse, the situation takes a disturbing turn when strange events begin to unfold. The party-goers find themselves trapped in the farmhouse as they are surrounded by menacing creatures that seem to have emerged from an entirely different world.

As the character's journey moves forward, they face a plethora of violent occurrences which range from cannibals, to zombies, to gender-bending demons. The group then begins to unravel truths about what is occurring, with the story becoming increasingly spooky and terrifying. The Violent Kind brings strong horror elements and heavily relies on violence and gore. There are various jump scares throughout the film, making the audience stay alert and engaged.

One of the lead actors in the movie is Cory Knauf, who plays the role of Zowie. Zowie is a goth character who provides a lot of the comic relief to the movie's dark, generally creepy tone. Joe Egender, who plays the protagonist, Cody, provides a credible, strong performance throughout. Taylor Cole, the only female lead, is also very strong, and plays the role of the troubled young woman who gets dragged into a terrifying adventure.

The Violent Kind is successful in obtaining an audience's attention and keeping them at the edge of their seats. The backdrop and the score have also been noteworthy aspects of the movie. While the plot does benefit from a few plot twists and moments of shock value, the ending falls a bit flat, and there are questions left unanswered.

However, the director duo, the Butcher Brothers, creates a gripping atmosphere, making the film a successful horror flick. It's hardly a masterpiece, but it's an engaging, satisfyingly creepy film for fans of horror-genre entertainment. The film has been praised for its creative use of supernatural elements, characterizations of nuanced, interesting characters, and its technical design.

Overall, The Violent Kind is an accessible and spine-chilling horror film. While it doesn't break any new ground in terms of plot or subversion, it does satisfy audiences with its interesting pacing, sound design, and a slew of classic horror tropes. For anyone who enjoys a solid horror flick, it is worth watching.

The Violent Kind is a 2010 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 29 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.6.
