I love this movie so much
Just perfect...
Fresh and Exciting
Blistering performances.
In fact, I must confess I love this movie, great acting, we can observe the stugle of a serial Killer and the desire vs the guilt of killing is victims. It´s a fact that this is a slow burn movie, but at the same time very intense. Great plans of shooting, and sound effects, I trully recomend.
This movie should be shown as an example to film students on how to deliver a story line. The director and writer did a simply amazing job at delivering the story in a slow and very suspenseful way. I can't say enough about how the story and it's reveal impressed me. The story itself had a lot of excellent twists and turns that really kept me very interested.The acting was pretty good as well for a low budget thriller. The only criticism I can give this film is the scene transitions. I loved when they were done, but the peephole cam and out of focus transitions took me quite a while to get used to and took me out of the story. That's the only thing I can criticize. The bad reviews of this film must be by people that want their stories laid out for them on a silver platter within 5 minutes. This one keeps you thinking and you truly don't know what is going on for a good 40 min of the movie. Either that or they couldn't get past the strange camera work.If you appreciate something that's different and a really good story delivery. This movie is a excellent example.
A serial killer does his usually stchick on unsuspecting characters after he escapes from jail. His ex-girl friend is in hiding and under witness protection because she testified against him.But, the cinematography was so bad, it was hard to follow the story.I think the director got a string of Christmas lights and decided to use them in an out of focus foreground for a 'anxiety' effect. Really? A very poorly conceived decision. 'Shaky cam' was used on Blair Witch and a few others. You might try a tight story line, good actors, and scenes and presto a movie and a tripod.Rather than move you into the story, such techniques take you out of the story since you are very aware of the effects and fail to follow the story. But maybe the cinematographer had the d'ts'Pulp Fiction had very little 'artsy out of focus lights' as an effect to get the audience in a tipsy mood.Story line wasn't bad, but ruined by the constant use of out of focus lights and jumpy camera work. Did you not have access to a pair of sticks?Plot at the end was good though and should have been extended instead of endless AA meetings.
Refreshing as it is to see attempts made to reinvigorate the played out serial killer genre movie it seem that in this and to a certain extent in the ludicrously over rated Australian film "Snowtown" the only thing "new" the director can bring is annoying camera work. This movie is particularly irritating asA) Between almost every scene change the picture fades out and then fades in again.B) It would appear that even though some of the actors are portraying recovering alcoholics it is in fact the camera man who is drunk.C)The doom laden score plays too often promising tension that is never delivered.D)Although filmed in widescreen there is little scope to the cinematography - it may as well be pan and scan.E) In the sorry end this is nothing but a generic serial killer movie and a poor one at that.Yet again for the millionth time - DO NOT believe the hype. Avoid.
