Review of The Editor

The Editor (2014)
9/10
Brilliant, Hilarious Sendup
27 May 2016
Rey Ciso was once the greatest editor the world had ever seen. Since a horrific accident left him with four wooden fingers on his right hand, he's had to resort to cutting pulp films and trash pictures. When the lead actors from the film he's been editing turn up murdered at the studio, Rey is fingered as the number one suspect.

There is only one other movie I can think of that took horror and pushed it over the top like this film does. That would be Ryan Nicholson's "Gutterballs". What Nicholson did for the slasher, this film does for the giallo. And possibly goes even further. The gore, the nudity, the bad dubbing... this is so good.

Rarely does a new film come along that really blows me away, but this is one of those films. Was it the best horror film of 2014? Could be. When did "It Follows" come out? That would be the only film in recent years that even comes close.
