I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
View MoreIf you are able to find a copy of this flick and thinking you are going to see the next big thing then you will be wrong even as this flick has a following and is already stated as 'cult'. The reason is rather simple. It was director Trevor Barley who thought to film a very erotic flick in the UK and knowing that it never would have a proper release or a fan base if it came out under a normal way. So he gave himself the nickname Roman Nowicki and hired Polish actors who spoke in their own language. A legend was born. Is it all that bad as people say, I say no because it did remind me of Fulci for the erotic shots and Argento for the use of coloured lighting. And it was entertaining but do know it's a no-brainer were girls are only used to show it all. And that's exactly what it does. One girl do take of all her clothes just to help a broken car for example. And when another girl comes across she's being killed but the other chick never hear her scream. She's only ass up to view it all. But what do makes it attracting is the way it was shot and edited and of course the girls. It's rather slow in some parts and do have stupid moments when the two guys are looking at the girls passing by but overall it's worth picking up if it wasn't for the wooden spoon scene. It's all just on the edge of porn, there's never any intercourse or things like that going on but we do see close-ups of the girls in all ways. One of the better nudie exploitations if we can call it that way. But what a clever marketing saying that this is Polish...Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 5/5 Effects 1,5/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0,5/5
View MoreWell, it's 9:30 am on a Friday morning, and I'm checking out this boobs 'n blood extravaganza. Life as usual. Watching this shortly after waking up, while munching away on my fibre-rich Sultana Bran, I had the disturbing realisation that this must be how Patrick Bateman starts his day. It's an unsettling thought as he's not really a figure I care to identify with. Not because of the yuppieness and misogyny mind you, but purely because he prefers Genesis post Peter Gabriel. That's just sick!Fantom Kiler is about... a fantom guy killing people. Yeah, that's about the entirety of the "plot". An early scene sums up the movie fairly well - A woman is walking through the woods. Some branches tear her blouse so she takes it off. The same branches tug at her pony tail causing her long brown hair to cascade down over her heaving bosom. She soon encounters a fence and realises her skirt prevents her from climbing through, so naturally she removes that too. Now she's wandering around the wilderness in just a pair of high heels. Eventually when she gets stabbed to death by our fantom friend, rather than breaking down in soul-shattering fear and pain, she just sort of poses like a Playboy model covered in blood. The rest of the movie is much the same, with a handful of slightly pornographic moments scattered throughout.It's totally ridiculous, but hey if gratuitous nudity and violence is wrong, then I don't ever want to be right.Surprisingly, director Roman Nowicki handles some of the sleaze relatively stylishly. In the above murder, there's a lovely shot of the moon reflecting off the blood-stained knife and when he wipes off the blood with his black-gloved hands, the image is replaced by the face of his victim reflected in the blade. It's a moment straight from a 70's giallo and adds a touch of, dare I say it, class to the proceedings. Actually, the movie could basically be described as a softcore porn giallo. There's some decent humour in there too. There's a moment where the fantom kiler offers one stark naked would-be victim some clothes because "The mosquitoes will be biting your beautiful breasts. And your tender ass." That's some quality dialogue right there! Terrifying masterpiece this ain't, but if you're in that kind of mood where you don't give a crap about plot and just wanna see tons of titties and mindless violence then check this one out. I'm quite often in that mood, even at 9:30 am, so I rather enjoyed it.Oh, and did I mention the close-up anus shots? I've never seen such anal detail in a movie before. If you're a connoisseur of the female anus, then this is THE movie for you.
View MoreAlright first off this film seemed to try and accomplish everything, humor, gore,and sex/nudity. However ultimately it only achieves one of it's goals and not very well. First off cause I know this is what you want to know, yes it's technically porn as a woman gets sodomized by a spoon and it's shown up close. I don't believe there was any actual penetration, although there could have been as this film goes back and forth to this sort of acid trip cheap look ,where it's difficult to make things out. The girls in Fantom Kiler are definitely good looking, and you see them in all there glory, but really there wasn't any overly hot scene to make this worth seeking out. This film boasts an annoying performance by a guy dressed as Charlie Chaplin, who nobody would want to see having sex, and wasn't funny for a second. This is no giallo, and the horror is really as tedious and inept as it comes. Fantom Kiler's ultimate sin, is teasing a lesbian scene between two beautiful women, and not following through with it. Therefore I have to rate this film a below average four, which it only gets for a couple good looking women. Stick with Seduction Cinema for your soft core fix, or rent an actual hardcore porn, that doesn't try to slap on a crappy stalker storyline that doesn't fit the film.
View MoreI don't care what anyone else says - I dug FANTOM KILER. How can you not like a film where EVERY female in the film gets completely butt-nekkid??? And if you're a fan of sleazy, misogynistic, trash-cinema (don't lie - you love it...) - then how can you not like a film where nearly every "victim" is not only slashed-up, but also vaginally-impaled with various objects, including: knife, railroad-spike, broomstick, and one truly confusing scene (not related to slashing) where a girl gets a wooden spoon up the b-hole...beautiful stuff...Anyway - on to "plot" - what plot? I have no idea - my copy is a Euro release with no English dubs/subs - all I could gather is some bandaged-wrap-faced freak who wears typical Italian giallo-killer garb, likes to sexually molest and stab up hot chicks and finishes up by rammin' stuff up their coot. That's enough for me. There seemed to be some comedic elements at play that I didn't exactly understand, and I think some sort of "police investigation" as well...First off - for a low-budget film, FANTOM KILER actually has a lot of "style" and tries to make more out of itself than you would think possible given the obvious budget constraints. The editing is almost music-video-like in the kill-scenes, and is actually pretty cool. There are also scenes that for whatever reason appear to be intentionally "degraded" visually - not sure why - but if you watch it, you'll see what I mean. I like the fact that pretty much everything "plot-wise" that happens on screen is a set-up for some hot broad to lose her clothes. That, my friends, is EXCELLENT script-writing. The nudity is hot and heavy and is pretty explicit (even some bent-over cooch-n-bung shots) - though don't expect XXX-fare either. Lots of sexy, silicone-enhanced, shaved and oiled bodies on display - the best part being that these chicks are SO hot, that they are oiled UNDERNEATH their clothing. As far as the "controversy" as to the Director's true identity and whether the film was filmed in Poland or the UK - I couldn't care less. My only gripe is that with as much skin and sleaze as is on display here - there are times where it drags pretty badly, and even some of the kill set-ups are kinda dull - even with all the nude flesh on display. Also - they should've done more with the gore FX, as they're pretty weak and not nearly as sick and splattery as I would have preferred. Other than that - this is a pretty twisted-but-fun "giallo" (using the term in the broadest sense) that delivers heavily on the sleaze-meter. Can't wait to throw in FANTOM KILER 2 tonite...8.5/10
