Reviews from Letterboxd:

1. murderotica – ★★★
   “Low budget chaos from the 90s. Rubber suits, gore, and some wild camera angles. Definitely a ‘video store’ kind of experience.”

2. crazyronnielove – ★★★½
   “It’s kind of amazing how serious this tries to be. The commitment to the grim tone works in its favor, even when the acting doesn’t.”

3. DrDeath – ★★★
   “Reminds me of early Troma but with more grit and less jokes. Practical FX are surprisingly fun if you’re into that cheap rubbery look.”

4. vhswarrior – ★★★½
   “A bloody mess, and I mean that in the best way. It’s raw, rough, and reeks of ambition. I respect the hell out of that.”

5. junkflickfan – ★★
   “Plot? Barely. Dialogue? Rough. But the gore delivers and the creatures are a hoot. Watch with beers and buds.”

Meta Description:
Violent New Breed (1997) is a gritty action-horror film featuring grotesque monsters, practical gore effects, and an apocalyptic setting. A must-have for collectors of obscure exploitation cinema and 90s underground VHS-era oddities.
