Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

yeodawg If you loved the movie "Frailty" and wanted more, well here it is. If you loved the concept of a crazed ax-murdering serial killer, killing other serial killers that are actually demons/ghouls. The problem is how do you turn this into an hour long TV show or a sequel. Well these guys found a way. You don't! you don't explain the passed you just go forward with you take on the concept.The movie starts off with a documentary on the aftermath of a small-town that was plagued by two serial killers. Interviews with the victim's family, the bungling police, co-workers of the suspect, and man on the street interviews. They even interviewed the high-school coach as he belittled a fat kid about his man-boobs. they interview the killers passed and interview his mom this is the comedy. They get down to business about how the killers pick their targets, and the show-down with the FBI "Demon Hunter".Best scene: the opening credits of the tied and bound victim trying to escape the serial killer.

bears_fonte I had the joy of catching this flick at a film festival and it is truly a find. Very off-the-wall independent stuff. And very funny. At times you may think it goes over the top, and then it goes further. With the right circumstances, this could have been a great cult hit, as it is much more entertaining, thought provoking and well-acted than something like Donnie Darko.And Carradine is absurdly hilarious. Is he being serious? Is making fun of himself? I don't know, watch the movie and make your own choice.The script is the true find of the production as it reads like the perverse parody that 'Natural Born Killers' never amounted to. It jumps back and forth between a sort of film noir and pseudo-documentary - and I wish there had been even more that interplay. It's almost as if the director stumbled onto a movie and didn't realize it was as funny as it ended up being.

RLP-2 WARNING: This review contains spoilers.Natural Selection is a lot fun. It's also a promising first step for director, Mark Bristol, boasting fine work from screenwriters, B.J. Burrow & Allen Odom, as well as impressive technical credits for a film of its budget, most notably eerie and evocative cinematography by Rhett Bear and excellent production design by Jennifer Bristol.For purposes of quick comparison, the movie which comes to mind as most similar is Natural Born Killers. Though, it must be said, that in Natural Selection the emphasis is placed squarely on dark comedy and not explicit violence.The film concerns itself with the final days of Willlie Dickinson's reign of terror in the small Texas town of Whitehills. Willie (menacingly played by Michael Bowen), a postman in addition to being a serial killer, finds himself the prey of two psychopaths - one, a serial killer wannabe named Glen who is nicely played by Darren Burrows (Ed from TV's Northern Exposure), and the other, an FBI agent named Dehoven who believes he is hunting vampires. Dehoven is played by David Carradine in a touching homage to his father, John Carradine. It is a delight to watch him pull his glasses on and off and jut his chin out in mannerisms that are pure John Carradine.Commenting on the action, is a hilarious documentary which boasts appearances by Newsradio's Stephen Root as a bereaved father and Bob Balaban as an addled psychologist who admits he knows nothing about the killer or his motivation but nonetheless feels compelled to expound endlessly on the killings.Still, the film belongs to Bristol who creates some wonderfully eerie and poetic images. A bound victim struggling in slow motion to escape a darkened house. Carradine's FBI Agent standing under a solitary street light breathing in a crime scene. The same FBI Agent's vampire hallucinations, which are both startling and genuinely frightening. Switching gears to the video based documentary, Bristol shows himself to be equally deft with comedy, including an inspired bit of slapstick involving a shotgun and some dim-witted hunters and a funny, yet achingly painful bit with Stephen Root as the father of the above referenced bound victim.The film does have it's faults. It is too long by about 5 or 10 minutes and could be edited a bit more crisply, moving from punch line to punch line without spending the time on set-ups, and the use of religious mania to explain the psychosis of Carradine's FBI agent does not work at all. - better if we never know why and just concentrate on his actions. But, all in all, this is an entertaining and promising first feature of which all involved can be proud. It should be quite popular with college and festival audiences.

Witness-6 Natural Selection is a zany romp though a small east Texas town. Its frightened and sometimes frightening characters are drawn right out Jerry Springer's guest list. This film pokes fun at almost every aspect of life in the small towns all over east Texas.The movie starts as a documentary about a serial killer, "Citizen Willie". In the opening scenes we get to meet three of Willie's cousins. The cousins are a clear (and hilariously frenetic) sign that all is not well in Willie's gene pool.The movie cuts between the narrative of the story, and the documentary in a way that leaves you either on the edge of your seat or doubled over with laughter.The best character in this film has got to be Willie's psychotic mother. We can get a real insight into what it takes to completely destroy a child's developing mind by watching this nutty bi***. If she's not pantomiming masturbation she's using a toothpick to remove the casualties of her continuing war on the fly population from a battered filthy flyswatter. To say this film is over the top is to put it mildly. Wimpy little mama's boys/girls need not apply. The laughs that come from this marvelously acted and written film will have you grabbing for your asthma inhaler (whether or not you are so afflicted).
