Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzIf you want my advice, skip this poorly made and acted mindless sickie pic.
User Review - 10/10 by wild willie nOne of the greatest horror classic. They really need to do this one again.
User Review - 10/10 by Deejay ROne of the greatest horror classic. They really need to do this one again.
User Review - 8/10 by Liam UQuite enjoyed this - Nicholas Worth was interesting as the killer and I liked the juxtaposition between his scenes and the scenes with the police officers, despite James Westmoreland's dodgy acting. Some rather funny moments throughout and yet Nicholas Worth dominates the screen with menace when he appears.
User Review - 8/10 by Ian MOpinions are like as*holes - everybody has one. and unfortunately, plenty of the 'reviewers' here seem to be opining directly from it. How 'politically-aware'. 'I wasn't planning to dignify this film with a review . . . ' - WELL THEN DON'T! Don't watch it. Don't buy it. Don't have anything to do with it - and more importantly - don't sit there crying because you didn't like it, and think that everybody else should boycott it too - just because it offended your fragile sensibilities. I'm quite sure you knew what to expect from the synopsis on the DVD / video cover. 'Well, to start with, this film was made by a misogynist . . . ' AMAZING! Obviously, it must have been in that case! *Misogynist: - a misanthrope who dislikes women in particular. One who hates women* Are you aware of 'exploitation' movies - or is this just the only you've seen that worked? You should have started your review with 'Obviously I don't like films like this - so I should really ask myself why I watched it in the first place . . . ' 'I have absolutely no desire to see an uncut version . . ' I think you should stay away from this genre entirely - because it clearly isn't for you - so please do us all a favour, and don't take any more chances. After all - it might ruin your evening, and force you to write another 'review'. I don't particularly feel comfortable watching scenes containing rapes and/or sexual threat either - but if I watch a movie of this type - I made the decision to view it - so I only have myself to blame. Yes - it was grubby & sleazy & at times uncomfortable. That's usually the point of films which fit neatly into the exploitation genre. Yes - the score is dated. It was made in 1980!! Sure it's cheesy - that's what's enjoyable about it. Yes - the acting isn't fantastic - so what! The movie worked for me. I like that 80's greasy nasty vibe. It's what these films are about. If you don't like it - then don't watch it - but please, don't try to discourage others from seeing it. That's just rude.
User Review - 8/10 by Carl NThis film is without doubt pure exploitation. A deeply disturbed photographer and Vietnam veteran terrorizes and kills young women while taunting a female psychologist, by calling her on a radio call-in show. I know I shouldn't have really enjoyed this sleazy film so much but it's just so entertaining. Despite some rather graphic misogynistic violence there are genuine moments of humour. The two lead detectives play most their scenes for laughs, a bust on a brothel had me thinking the film had changed into a slapstick comedy. We are treated to some cheesy montages complete with a soundtrack ripped right from a 70?s porno. And acting and dialogue that borderlines on the absurd. Nicholas Worth's performance as the troubled killer is totally over the top. Some of the scenes of him talking into a mirror or to his "father" are creepy and hilarious at the same time. But for some reason this just adds to the appeal of the film. Apart from some moments of raciest dialogue, that dates the film a little and a somewhat lacklustre ending. I enjoyed every sordid minute. This is exploitation at its best.
User Review - 6/10 by Brett WAmusing 80's schlock, but it goes way too far at points.
User Review - 6/10 by Patrick FDecent horror flick. Reminded me of 'Maniac' only funnier and with a Carpenter score. Fairly enjoyed it.
User Review - 6/10 by Paul MMeh, the villain was sort of an idiot. I was bored throughout
User Review - 6/10 by Rita MThis was a good film the best bit was when he was askes by his psychologist if he has ever loved anything and he replys " YES MY LITTLE PUPPY WHEN I WAS A BOY IT WAS SO CUTE AND CUDDLY I LOVED THAT LITTLE PUPPY " she asked what happened to your little puppy, he looks at her all sad and says" I killed the little Fucker cause it shit all over my grandmothers rug"
