The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

This was so unbelievably bad! Oh my god!! It was surely among the very worst films ever made and it left me speechless! There wasn't any graspable story that I could think of, it was just an ear-splitting mess with a fat old guy running about being as loud and over-the-top as possible in one truly monstrous performance. The entire movie was just a lot of stupid and mindless noise with no real content, I tried to focus, but as there was no real story I just kept zoning out.. At the beginning you may have a few faint hopes that the movie might be fun in a so bad it's good way based on how animated the acting is, but for me my hopes were completely gone within the first two minutes! The acting in this thing was so sub-freaking' par on all levels, the jokes were lame and cringe-worthy, and the camera never moved while people were frequently talking, maybe it was because the movie was incomplete script-wise, but it felt like everybody was poorly improving, it was awkward and very 'put on' like they were reading from invisible scripts, but they had nothing to read.. I've seen a lot of bad micro-budgeted movies and usually I can gleam a little enjoyment out of even the worst crap, but even most of those weren't on the same level as this rancid monstrosity, there was simply nothing to be interested in with it. The effects were sh*t, the acting was sh*t, overall it was just a hideously unpleasant and UN-fun movie to watch. It isn't a film, it's a great big f**k you to whatever poor sap is unfortunate enough to get stuck with it. Beyond garbage, so do yourself a favour and avoid this awkward nutsack of a movie!

This cheap and scuzzy comedy was put out by Troma and isn't one of their more memorable releases. The story is about a blonde female reporter who is desperate to get an interview with a famous serial killer who enjoys dressing up as various celebrities in order to commit his murders. Cue lots of cheesy costumes and the like and some very bad acting from the main players.This film seems to have been inspired by THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS but is nothing like it. In fact, it's nothing more than a grainy, poor-quality joke of a film, with lots of rubber masks and bizarre events but almost no elements of interest, unless you have a huge liking for independent cult movie fare.

This isn't the first production which I've seen by this outfit, and, if I see any more, I'll anticipate another very bottom-of-the-barrel experience. Here we have reporter, Barbara, and her boyfriend/cameraman, Mike, on the staff of Sleaze. Shortly before his execution, they get a chance to interview a killer dubbed The Media Madman, who's schitzophrenia causes him to impersonate (extremely poorly, in most cases) celebrities seen on TV. The concept of a mass murderer is quite UNfunny; but, this MUST be a comedy because everything about it is so laughably rotten. I mean, TRULY AWFUL!!! It's one of those films where, if inferiority is the goal, it hits the bullseye.
