Product Description

So heres a great idea. A killer steals a horror movie from the video shop, tapes over the film with him being all smarmy and intersecting scenes of him killing people in various ways.

It would have been amazing were it not for a little Belgian film called 'Man Bites Dog' back in 1992. Call it homage, call it rip off, but you cannot help but think of that classic while watching this.

But when all is said and done though, it's still a fine movie, but the twist of the movie is that the killer waits for someone to rent the movie, and follow them home, and ultimately kill them.

Max is your typical wannabe middle class thirty something, who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing. If you can stomach his pretentious fox pops and silly anecdotes, you will love this movie.

Fortunately in my line of work, I deal with these sorts of people everyday, so Max didn't really annoy me much, even his delusional anecdotes about life.

It's a brutal movie, not for the faint hearted, and what makes it brutal, isn't the killings, it's the victims, they are normal people, no back story, your neighbour, someone you pass on the street, and the way the camera lingers on the victim, is the most shocking part of the film.

It loses a point for really trying to make Max seem normal by having him host dinner parties and his friends are annoying, at points I wanted him to kill them.

All in all, it's a brilliant little movie, so what if it homages MBD, the novelty is there, and it works to good effect.

Basic plot. A killer has taped over a bad horror movie and has recorded his own diaries on it. While the viewer views him we see what type of person he is and follow him when he makes his killings. An amazing film shot all in cam corder style with lots of shots of the killer talking to the audience questioning us on our views of horror and him as a person. A smart and quite nasty horror which will make you think for a long time after viewing. If you like films like man bites dog its the horror version of that. A must see for all horror fans.

PLOT SPOILER REVIEW

The film starts out like a "normal" slasher with someone who killed people in Vermont, escaping death row in Illinois, now stalking women in Grand Rapids Michigan. That is really the film I wanted to see. This film is interrupted by a British wedding photographer moonlighting as a serial killer. He has a homeless man follow him around and film the carnage in a different version of the hand held genre. He then (PLOT SPOILER) at the end slips this VHS back into the box at the rental place and waited to see if there was any response.

In 2005 did they still have VHS rental places, even in London? Had this film been made in 1985 it would of had some meaning and be cutting edge, especially if they made it look like they actually taped over a VHS tape and created the original taped over film by the same title and released it under that name, all with the same cover. However for me to watch it on a DVD made in 2005 it loses any sense of realism that the hand held genre tries to create...even though we know it is all fake.

2 stars for a great idea 20 years late.

Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. Killings lacked horror.

Format: DVD
This low-budget DV mindwarper has several things going for it, chief among them a charmingly unctuous performance from lead actor, Kevin Howarth as Max Parry, a character who is something of the new millennium's equivalent of Benoit Poelvoorde's serial-killing Ben in the 1992 Belgian film Man Bites Dog. There's also a charming lack of politically correct restraint shown, which counts for more than you might think in a film that's essentially one long confession of modi operandi from a gloating psychopath. Best of all, however, may be the film's central conceit;. Howarth's Max is a wedding videographer by day and an enthusiastically psychoanalytical maniac by night, who has taped his grisly misdeeds and a running commentary thereon over a generic teen slasher horror film, which, in the context of the film's shadow reality, has then been rented by you, the unsuspecting viewer. Director Julian Richards (Darklands) has much to say on the topics of horror films and societal violence and the bloody intersection of the two, and all of it comes out of Max's mouth, as he offers nearly nonstop running commentary over jittery handheld scenes of home-invasion mayhem. Fans of the genre will be quick to point out the similarities between this and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer, but whereas John McNaughton's groundbreaking film took neither sides nor prisoners, Richards' film is intensely eager to spark debate: "You know this is real," points out the reptilian and annoyingly smug Max, "so why are you still watching it?Read more ›

This must be the singularly worst film I have ever seen. It starts off like a Halloween slasher movie but, it turns out that someone has actually rented that movie and taped over it. The serial killer talks all the time in the third person which is annoying in the extreme.

This whole movie revolves around some smarmy git knocking the hell out of his victims, totally gratuitous violence with absolutely no storyline at all. Best place for this is in the bin.
