Btexxamar I like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Joseph P. Ulibas Confessions of a Serial Killer (1985) was an attempt to make a film about America's most notorious serial killer Henry Lee Lucas. This movie comes close to portraying the real magilla but it just turns into another slasher movie instead. Confessions lacks what Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer (1986) had such as a good writer, better acting and a competent director. The film makers of this mess decided to throw whatever they could at the wall and see what would stick.It's sad because it had all of the right elements to make a decent serial killer film. They had the mood and the sets right but poor execution and lame acting and pedestrian film making doomed this movie from the start. Some day somebody will make a straight forward bio-picture about the real Henry Lee Lucas. Until then stick with the better film of the two.Not recommended, unless you want a few laughs at some bad acting and inept film making.When the film was finally release on video during the early 90's, the distributors tried to capitalize on the success of Silence of the Lambs by having the title character appear on the cover a la Hannibal Lectur (mask and all).
pboylan7 This is easily one of the best movies that I have ever seen. It is, in my opinion, the most terrifying look into the mind of a remorseless killer. Everyone attached to this movie should receive special thanks from the industry. To be able to delve so far over the edge and be able to remain sane they are truly great. Their greatness has brought us an insightful yet scary portal through which we are aloud into a world that we can only hope never touches us personally. I would recommend this movie for anyone who has a strong constitution and the need to see what makes a person snap and loose all control of the sense of right and wrong. This movie will give you nightmares that even if these type of people don't exist there was someone out there with the imagination to create such terror.
inframan This is a perfect little movie in its way, succeeding as a voyeuristic experience from start to finish with just the right balance of banality, surprise, horror, disgust and curiosity-arousal & satisfaction. Like watching the seamier part of life through a perpetual keyhole. The art is in the actors & director never giving the appearance of "artfulness". Bravo!!!
Rayman-8 The film is about a serial killer and I think it's the best thriller ever made. Superstar Robert A.Burns got no Oscar for it but he is playing well. Now go to the videostore and rent it!
