WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING

“Fans of SAW and HOSTEL will Cheer!”

-- Film Threat


“An Effective Nail Biter. Gruesome and Compelling...”

--John Biefus THE BLOODSHOT EYE


LIVE ANIMALS is raw gusty filmmaking”

--Mike Elliot producer of THE DEVIL’S REJECTS


Official Selection of the Hollywood Film Festival 2008


Winner Audience Choice Best Picture Memphis International Film Festival 2009


The smartly titled Live Animals is a cut above. Like early Wes Craven and John Carpenter, Benson's film rams full-tilt into an often gory but strangely logical world where human beings are bartered like cattle. A sharp, well-edited film, Live Animals should finally give the Memphis filmmaker his big break. Film world, let me be one of many to introduce Jeremy Benson!

--Jonathan Hickman, Einsiders.com


“As a sadistic modern slave-trader, veteran actor John Still is a convincingly scary movie menace.”

“Twisted! Reminiscent of such 1970s horror films as The Texas Chain Saw Massacre ... and such modern thrillers as ‘Saw’ and ‘Hostel’...”

--The Commercial Appeal
