Killchella takes attendees to an ultra-trendy music festival where they experience a bloody night of terror when a reclusive pop star making her big return recruits her most fanatical devotees to assist in a massive human sacrifice ritual.

A group of friends attending a music festival in the desert face a bloody night of terror when an enigmatic pop star named Topanga Cornell recruits her most fanatical devotees to assist in a mass sacrifice ritual at her big return concert.

The quest for good vibes quickly becomes a fight for survival as the crew tries to escape Topanga and her gang of blade-wielding obsessive fans she lovingly refers to as her "fawns" who will do anything #ForHerLove.

Letný festival, ktorý je plný zaujímavých akcií na odreagovanie láka aj na exkluzívnu show obľúbenej pop hviezdy. Všade je zábava, skvelá atmosféra, množstvo mladých ľudí, kvetiny...skrátka hippíkov sen. Nikto ale netuší, že na nich čaká krvavý masaker.

Rozbeh mal tento komiks vcelku dobrý. Hlavné postavy boli síce tuctové a nie príliš sympatické, ale pre vyvražďovačku aká mala nasledovať, to bolo v poriadku. V druhej polovici, keď sa akcia naplno rozbehla, už príbeh dosť výrazne kríval. Už to bolo len o bande fanatikov a ich náhodne pobehujúcich obetiach. Žiadne prekvapenia, odhalené motivácie alebo niečo navyše nečakajte. Toto je vyslovene len o masakrovaní pekných - dobre nakreslených - ľudí.

Essentially this is trying to take the cult and folk horror feel of movies like The Wicker Man and Midsommar and bring it to a big concert like Coachella. So, it takes a big, bold, fun, and nicely illustrated thing. It's not a home run, but it is pretty fun and has some cool kills and set pieces. I had fun with Killchella.

A very good Hoopla find. It's about a pop star who goes nuts and lures people into a special concert at Coachella to be murdered by her fans as part of some ritual. Stan culture at its darkest. The art is terrific too.

Read them in the single issues. Starts out pretty strong, has a really fun Wicker Man by way of popstar concept, but it just can't quite stick the landing.

Art's great, but it's more idea than execution–no pun intended

[Andrei · Rating 2 out of 5]

Cool art (which is why it gets the extra star), but that's pretty much it. Unlikeable characters, not scary, no thrills, mediocre story.
