| User ReviewPablo GA VERY impressive "snuff film" about a pimpled face teenager who supposedly in 2009 went around Cohasset, Massachusettes killing 3 classmates and filmed it. It's not based on any particular crime I don't think, but the "authenticity" in which what is presented was nicely done and gave me the chills. Kind of reminded me, just a little bit, of a lost segment in the V/H/S franchise. |
| User ReviewSteven JI had really high hopes for this movie, but ultimately, I was a bit disappointed. The movie starts of with a bang. The acting and direction are completely believable, and the story sucks you in like a whirlpool. It looks and feels like a genuine documentary. The killer is at first very spot on and realistic, but then... he NEVER SHUTS UP! The entire motive behind his killing was to get rid of girls who "think that they are untouchable, and above him," yet he himself is a completely self-obsessed narcissist. Perhaps that was the point, but it grated on my nerves something fierce. I felt like I was watching a documentary about Ferris Bueller teaching me how to kill women in between hearing the poetry that is himself talking to himself and practicing his broody looks and pouty lip puckers. But overall, this was definitely worth watching. Almost all of the "interviewees" are top notch and fully believable, and there are some truly stomach-pitting moments of horror, with some grisly blood and gore FX, as you can see from the poster shown here (sorry, Facebook friends!). There are far worse horror mockumentaries to be watched, for sure, but I could not get over the cocky and overly-tried screen presence of the lead actor. But that might just be me.. |
