One of my all time favorites.

Crappy film

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

When I first heard about this film, I had seen the trailer before a film and then suddenly heard nothing more. Thankfully I had written the title down in the notes section of my cell phone because, had I not, I probably never would have seen this movie. I'm a student studying criminal justice with a particular interest in serial homicide. When I had broken my phone and synced my new phone with the old data I found the list of movies and noticed this was still on the list.This film takes you deep in the mind of a killer and his journey from amateur to, practically, professional level. I found the idea of having found a killer's old video documentation of his murders an interesting and great way for analysis through out the film. Personally, I have used this film for analysis in classes and my professors agree that it does help get into the mind of a killer.

I'm a big fan of horror but I fail to see the entertainment value in this gratuitous trash. Sure, we all know there is unspeakable evil in this world but is it entertaining to see it on display?You choose what you expose yourself to and I can think of much better diversions thank you very much. I know there is evil in the world, I don't have to have it shoved down my throat. At least movies like Hostel have redeeming qualities whereas I fail to see any in this.Do not watch this movie if your'e sensitive, it's not worth you're time.If you have serial killer fantasies and like to see innocent people defiled, if it gives you a sense of power etc then it may be for you.

I really liked how its a totally different form&approach-more like a"Mock-umentary/Documentary"style,where the actors/characters are literally doing great,directed well w/what their parts directions go,adding great in combination w/the movies unveils!I love my various forms of Sci-Fi's,&of course Horror-type movies,they're my Top Favs(although I've seen my fair share of HUGE Movie Flops,even ones w/bigger Movie Budgets)!!I felt its all around,really great w/the overall movies story line concept.Most horror flicks have the usual things they're known for,like killing,blood guts&gore(not to forget the musics used for added dramatic effect in building up to an event during the movies beginning to end),&so on.Although,@the same time,they can also end up being pretty much another carbon-copy type of thing,or to where its even just flat out predictable,etc.But this one(without saying any Spoilers),as Id said before,uses a different angle,that to me feels like it also kind of uses the movies characters lines,&also how theyd been directed.Its what made me feel as though it was intentionally done this way,so each viewer interprets the movie using more of there minds thought process.To where I"filled in the blanks",w/the director uses more of the acting,so I come up w/my Own Interpretations&the feelings I get as I watched on,such as horrific pictures in my mind,my heart thumping thrill feeling, shared w/the dramatic,&/or mysteries from things said,described(or in some various parts that are shown,rather than having the "fed to me" of dramatic feelings(rather than through music effects&other traditionally used methods fed pretty much on a plate...Bottom line is everyone has their own opinions,and if you're every in the mood to try,I hope others give this movie a shot w/watching though!!

Look, this movie is definitely disturbing on many levels and that is exactly why I gave it 2 stars even though I wanted to give it none. "Found footage" style is the new go-to for every hack in Hollywood and I'm tired of it. It was barely good back in 1999 when Blair Witch was released. Every moronic filmmaker with a flimsy idea and no money wants to use this method. So why is this one worse than most? Because it used something real. Something this was a REAL tragedy that ruined quite a few families. And I'm not being a moralist here; I would not have had any problem with this film, had it only been artistic, original, or inventive in any way. But it wasn't. It was just another gross-out ripoff trying to suck from the teat of the Saw franchise, but even worse because actual women were murdered by this guy. So I was bothered and disgusted for NO reason, because I could have watched a legitimate documentary about this case. Or, even better, a well-made movie based on characters that weren't either victims of actual, serious crimes or fat pieces of psychotic s*** that died in their prison cells. Do we really want to appreciate anything made by sick, non-imaginative a-holes who spent this much time trying to emulate a snuff film? I sure as hell don't. This was an abomination and I regret every minute I spent watching it.
