Not bad but could have been better,
By
This review is from: Killer Movie [DVD] [2008] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
That said, the movie does have a fair bit going for it. Not least is that every time you think you know who the killer is, the real one promptly kills them. I was absolutely certain I knew who it was only for the guy to have his throat cut less than a minute after I'd definitely made my mind up it was him.
There is an attractive cast of good actors like the likeable Kaley Cuoco (The Big Bang Theory) playing an obnoxious actress, who I'm sure wasn't remotely based on L*nds*y L*h*n, who isn't as horrible as she first appears. Nestor Carbonell is great as a cynical agent and Paul Wesley of the Vampire Diaries is good as the lead. The rest of the supporting cast is fun as well particularly the actress who plays the utterly vile and predatory lesbian producer. Much of the gore tends to be offscreen like the Cheerleader coach's encounter with a rotary saw (just when I decided she was the killer) or the beheading early on (when I'd decided that this character would probably be the Final Girl). Then there are more explicit bits like the throat slitting (see above) and hand amputation, so it isn't all bad. Plus there is a very high body count so that even at almost the very end you still just don't know who the damn killer is. But I didn't find it very suspenseful and never remotely adrenalin-inducing. In fact it's oddly likeable for a serial killer movie and it is certainly surprising. Give it a try and it may surprise you. Let's say the rating is three and a half stars.

A horror Satire,
By
This review is from: Killer Movie [DVD] [2008] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
Small time USA is invaded by a reality TV show's film crew. A celebrity shows up then very soon people begin disappearing and dying.
This is a send up of reality shows and slasher movies but it is very well done and the real gem is in the giallo aspect used in that we don't know who the killer is until the end and then the film ends with a twist. It's a fun film with a high body count. Dialogue is reasonably good with a few nods to other slasher films and the acting isn't bad with a few smiles to be had. I didn't like the fact that some of the kills are off screen with gore seen afterwards. I suppose the film makers wanted this to appeal to a wider PC audience hence the toned down slashiness. Extras include a 13 min behind the scenes, and stills. USA Release plays Region 1. Subtitles in English stated on the box but there weren't any.

Average killer movie,
By Desiree - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Killer Movie [DVD] [2008] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
It looks like other reviewers here are probably involved with the film. I am not; I just watched it. This movie is the average slasher fare with a reality show spin on it. Even though the storyline is not so original, I still found the movie likeable all the way to the end. It has the cheesiness but doesn't look cheap, some humor, decent kill scenes, and good music scores. Slasher movie fans would particularly find this film entertaining.

Funny and scary,
By myopiadystopia - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Killer Movie [DVD] [2008] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
I saw Killer Movie in a film festival a couple of months ago. It was so funny at times, and really creepy at others. The acting was great, and the characters were so interesting and multifaceted. The dialogue was witty and fresh, and Kaley Cuoco's one-liners had me laughing out loud. But even with all the humor, you never forget that you're watching a horror movie. The gory details are horrifying and the murders creative and original. I won't spoil anything, but it'll leave you thinking, "I never would have thought to kill someone like that." You really have to see for yourself. I strongly recommend this movie for any horror or comedy fan.

Slaughter-TV...,
By Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein "bigfootsalienbaby" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Killer Movie [DVD] [2008] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
KILLER MOVIE is the silly, creepy, gory tale of documentary film-making gone horribly awry. We follow a film crew as they work on a doc about a small town's high school hockey team. Of course, there's a masked maniac at large, and people begin dying awful, squishy deaths. Said maniac is an interesting fellow, w/ his own unique take on reality TV. KM has gallons of blood and several dismemberments, yet manages to remain fun and interesting. The characters are solid, especially Kaley Cuoco (tv'S BIG BANG THEORY) as a total wench of an actress who gets a much needed attitude tune up by movie's end! So, if you enjoy comedic horror w/ extra sauce, KILLER MOVIE should slake that thirst...
