Highly Overrated But Still Good

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
This is one of the worst films, if not the worst, film i have ever seen. I honestly feel as though 90mins of my life was robbed.I am not sure what the story line for this film was, if any; but i think maybe under the surface the leading male was angry and/or sexually attracted to his mother (because she was a whore and maybe flaunted it), thus leading to a unhealthy relationship with women in his adulthood. Maybe the women in the film was his way of murdering his mother over and over again, but who knows. However, i do think if this were the case his anger would of been directed more to killing prostitutes; i really couldn't tell you to be honest. Maybe i am giving to much credit to the film.
First, I'll say this. I had seen this on a list of disturbing movies to check out. So seeing this at a video store that was closing, I called myself lucky. Thinking people were suckers to not get this. (This and Funny Games and The Changling) I'm also loyal to the gore and horror. And looking for things that delve into these kinds of things I feel would help give me new ideas for scripts that I want to write. But this movie was definitely not what I expected or hoped for.Plot: A German photographer has a nice girlfriend and a great car. But he has some skeletons in his closet-literally. By day he's your typical fashion model photographer. But by night, he stalks the City of Sin for strippers and other victims to add to a collection of death.I really can't describe my thoughts about what this would be like. I was just expecting to see something like a maniac tortures and kills his victims,as well as taking polaroids post death. Sort of like Peeping Tom,but with more blood. Damn,this movie was repetitive! I was thinking he would be the loving boyfriend in the day,but a psychopathic lunatic at night. Not totally neglecting his girlfriend to go slaughter strippers. And it's ridiculous that only Charlotte's (the photographer's girlfriend) little sister Jade sees through the photographer's bullsh!t and ends up being the one to get proof of it. Also, bare in mind that Jade looks like she's 12 or so.Also, the random flashbacks to irrelevant events bothered me. There's a scene when he's sleeping on a lawn chair and has this flashback to the fricken' 9/11 terrorist attacks. How that's relevant, I don't know. I also didn't understand his past as a child either. Only the fact he has a naked Barbie doll with the hands bound and "bloody" drawings. Same with stupid shots of him lifting weights and slitting the throats of strippers. Anyways,the only real thing we learn from him is that someone in his family was a Nazi that fought in WW2. (and obviously he's one too) If you don't want the ending of this,then please stop reading now. Anyways, after hearing that Megan (Jade's friend) went missing, Jade goes off to the photographer's house. She later finds the photographer's torture chamber in the basement. After beating him in the head with a plank of wood and stabbing him with a pair of scissors, she runs away. She's walking on the road and then it cuts to a shot on a Greyhound bus. It doesn't specify the time period. Like a few days,weeks,months or whenever. The Photographer is on the bus in a cowboy hat and joking around with a blonde haired girl that looks like Jade. He talks to a brunette girl,takes her picture and it ends there.So we don't even know if Jade is alive or the photographer caught up with her and killed her. If you honestly want to see this,then go ahead. But this will just be a waste of your time.This gets a 2/10 for me.Too repetitive - Leaving lots of loose ends and open ended questions - No suspense or thrill
This movie really is the worst. I do not understand where all this hype came from on the box...How "disturbing" and "blood soaked" and "offensive" it is. And the trailer makes it look so extreme (At least the editor is on point...Someone involved in this film knows what they're doing). The only thing that was offensive was the way the director offends the audiences intelligence. This movie is a blatant ripoff of American Psycho...And a poorly done one. The gore is nothing...I've seen more on a SyFy Channel movie. Everything happens offscreen...You barely even see any after effects. There is nothing to redeem this movie. The acting ranges from weak to terrible. There is no suspense or fright. There's no characters that you care about or identify with. Hell...The most charismatic character is the killer. I am beyond disappointed with this crapfest. Want to see some good movies along this genre...Check out Frontiers-Martyrs-In My Skin-Inside-High Tension-the original Texas Chainsaw and Texas Chainsaw 2-House Of 1000 Corpses and even The Devils Rejects-The Lost-the first Saw-both Hostels. Even Laid To Rest was a trillion times better than this
Half-naked woman posing for a camera, bloody torture scene, naked woman posing for a camera, bloody torture scene, rape scene, car driving through vegas, naked woman posing, bloody torture scene, rape scene, half-naked woman posing for a camera, bloody torture scene, ... Combine this with a few incredibly poor dialogues, a few random references to the main character's obsession with nazism and the most primitive form of mysogenism and you pretty much get a summary of this film.Not only is this film too repetitive and totally lacking a story, it is even too meak for a real gore film (gallons of blood and a few cut-off heads are pretty much as much gore as you'll see). The only ones who could possibly like this film is those who expect nothing more than naked women, gallons of blood and a cute pre-pubescent teenage girl trying to act... especially if they have a thing for '70s "evil nazi" stereotypes.Unless you belong to the latter category, don't waste your time on this piece of junk...
