6/10
some parts are gruesome but the narration fails
12 November 2013
By watching this flick about some found footage of a serial killer, that idea was original, it reminded me of course of Henry Portrait Of A Serial Killer (1986) and Man Bites Dog (1992). Those surely have given people the creeps. This one doesn't although there are a few scene's that are not for the easily offended.

It starts rather well with a normal flick about a serial killer but suddenly the movie is interrupted by Max (Kevin Howarth) telling that he has put his murder spree over a flick so you are the only one watching his life and the bad things he has done. I must say that indeed some of those deeds were gruesome but the combination of narrating and showing his abilities didn't work like in for example the earlier mentioned Man Bites Dog. Here also the crew slowly got involved and it do look like a rip-off of Man Bites Dog but the brutality of that film we never do see here.

The idea is in fact original and towards the end when Max is referring to the viewer it do works but it has it flows and it didn't give me goosebumps like the two other flicks did. Still, not recommended for easily offended people.
