Supelice Dreadfully Boring
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
vichmd Stay away from this "film." I am unable to give a thorough, comprehensive review because I could not get beyond the first 22 minutes. It was really that bad. The first 22 minutes consisted of David walking around NYC gazing off into space interspersed with scenes of a bunch of people chanting at a Satanic cult. The special effects were awful and clearly low budget. The acting was amateurish. You can't fault the actors completely, because they clearly had little to work with in the way of dialogue, lighting, or quality recording equipment. If I were them, I would keep this part of their career a secret. I would not put my worst enemies through this.
billyroberts15 My cousins decided to see this on pay per view, and we definitely wished that we could refund it. After seeing the whole movie, we felt that we could have made a better movie with nothing but a camcorder (which is probably what these people used as well). The filming style is crappy, as is the acting and the effects. The Satanic worship sequences are anything but scary and are more hilarious than anything else. The main actor should probably stay away from acting as should the rest of the actors in this film. At times, they used the same actors from an older scene in a different scene. Stay as far away from this trash if you value your time.
scruffybear37 Totally inaccurate. The writer didn't totally research the actual events. The writing was horrible and the acting was even worse. Bad direction and very poor production round out the worse film that I have ever seen. I don't know why this was even released, this was a total waste of film. I had trouble staying awake for this movie and I was watching it in the afternoon. Further, I think that it is an embarrassment to Lion's Gate to have anything to do with this film. To the people who are considering buying this film, Save your money! Buy Summer of Sam, it is far more entertaining. At least in Summer of Sam they have big name actors that give a far better performance.
rocknrico This movie portrays the story of David Berkowitz in a dreamlike nature complete with haunting voices, star lens effects and twisting camera work going in and out of color/focus.Save yourself some time and just watch the first 20 minutes of this train wreck of a movie. Everything else is simply a repeat, both in style and form as they go from one murder to another. There must have been 10 shots of David just staring into the NY skyline experiencing schizophrenia which all appeared to be shot on the same day. Fortunately, nothing is graphic or too bloody and the murders are implied. From wooden acting to Karo syrup blood effects, the film is amateurish.Lastly, you would think that someone would at least run some of the text through a spell checker as the concluding text contained typos.
