This man has a problem
24 April 2006
Call Dr. Ruth, Matthew has a problem. Apparently Matthew was released from the mental asylum a little too early, on his mom's wedding day to be precise. Unfortunately for them they were a little too touchy feel for Matthew's case. And since then nobody anywhere can make out safely. Throw in kidnapping an older redhead and how can this movie be anything but a classic. Here is how - make it go so slow, that you actually look for dialog with words of more than and 3rd grade education, throw in music from the Love Boat, and just throw an ending together that nobody can believe. And just to spice things down a bit - in all of your gory murder scenes, make sure no blood (or tomato sauce I think was actually used) stains a thread of carpet. We are dragging dead people all over and not a smear on the floor. And finally, why did he have to kill his ?eighth? victim - it made absolutely no sense - like he was going to tell anybody.

I do have to give credit to Matthew - he was very convincing of a lowly educated psychotic. Too bad everybody else tries to play the same role.

Interesting case psych study - but a hard movie to get into, especially towards the end.
