Paintball Massacre is a 2020 British comedy horror film directed by Darren Berry and written by Chris Regan.[1]
A school reunion paintballing goes wrong as the participants start being murdered one by one.[2]
The filmmakers have cited British comedy-horror features Hot Fuzz and Dog Soldiers as inspiration. It was filmed in 2018 in Somerset, at The Sparkford Inn near Yeovil as well as in a quarry in Radstock.[3] The budget for the film was £75,000 which crept up to £100,000 when shooting began.[4]
The film was released in US and Canada in December 2020 and released digitally and on DVD in the UK on April 5, 2021.[5]
The Guardian review said the film struggles to live up to illustrious Brit comedy-horror predecessors.[6] Dread Central reviewed it as “Fun-Filled Microbudget Mayhem”.[7]
