Plantiana Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

argento6 So i finally get down to doing this. Reading some of my own and others words lately i found out that once we've seen a movie we tend to discuss it at the past tense. The thing is that this particular film is still alive and well so this will be my bloody review for THE ORPHAN KILLER. It is an indie horror film, slasher mostly and judging by the first time i watched the trailer i was like: "WOW!", immediately sure that i would be in for one hell of a ride with this film. And boy is this statement weak to describe the film! As soon as this film starts, without giving any sort of warning, THE ORPHAN KILLER got me in the stomach and embarked me as 2 new faces in the horror universe: Marcus Miller and his baby Sister Audrey (Diane Foster) were entangled in a fight, what is often the most fun and interesting about this type of film! From the start, the story itself holds its ground and is intriguing as there's already enough displayed for the viewer to know about the main characters backgrounds, but also realize that it would be possible to expand on their mythology.And with a team that has managed to do that much with the very little they had (Often proof that horror works somehow without the overuse of what a big budget could have provided.), what you see and what's told about, or by the Orphan Killer and/or his sister needed to stay somewhat intact Imo. In a way, i think that both characters made the film. From over the top murders to thrilling chase scenes, this one seems to have caught very well the most captivating essence of slashers. Add to this the really well made gore and other surprising make up effects? A haunting/Haunted murderer (Amazing work by Backus), able to both verbalize and demonstrate through his eyes and movements all of his intentions and you end up with a really fun ride through the whole thing.Some of Marcus' brutal attacks are awesomely original, still this originality manages to be depicted through Matt Farnsworth's ideas about filmmaking with really well thought out ideas about the filming. And i think that it all paid off, considering that it is, most often what can stand out of a film like that with so little compared to the amount of slasher remakes we see in big theaters nowadays. And with a devastating score to go along with Marcus' ruthless agressions, this film came at a very right time for horror fans, proving that there is room for new faces, masks and names in our horror collections.I just bloody enjoyed the film from start to finish despite very little flaws and Marcus seems to have done, like his peers in the universe, what Myers, Jason and Freddy for instance have manage to do. Only this time, one film seems to have been enough to captivate the audience for this aggressive and wounded, Christian-raised killer and he is just the antagonist part of this interesting new horror tale! The Orphan Killer has rallied a brutal family of horror fans and it still has the power to grow bigger from here on so this reviewer must thank and congrats Matt, Diane and the whole team behind the movie. Really thrilled, starving for more . Can't wait for what's to come! 8.5/10

cagraham68 I'm not one to write reviews all the time but after seeing all the hatred spewing forth about what I feel is a truly brilliant movie I had to speak up. I consider this to be the most amazing horror films I've seen in YEARS. As a child of the 80's I grew up watching Jason, Michael & Freddy and to me Marcus Miller is a true equal...& honestly as far as I'm concerned surpasses them. Matt Farnsworth has created a true original slasher icon for the modern age. It's raw, gritty, bloody & violent...what else could you ask for? Diane Foster's acting is truly amazing and she's completely hot as well. The scene in the boiler room with her & Marcus is Oscar-worthy...you can just feel the pain she's going through. & what can I say about Marcus Miller? He has no feelings & no remorse. When he goes in for the kill you know to expect something truly brutal & savage. There is also a complete plot despite what some reviews have said but I'm listing no spoilers...you should totally disregard the negative reviews...watch it and decide for yourself. But I highly recommend it...a true masterpiece of the modern horror genre.

tony cooney OK first off the haters on this movie don't know what they are talking about at all. I think most like the stupid 4th grade Paranormal movies and are a bunch of Emo band fans. The movie itself is Amazing in all senses the gore is AMAZING way better then anything put out in the last 10-15 yrs next to the saw movies. Marcus Miller is the next Jason,Pinhead,Leather face the way he has no mercy on his victims at all. The story is great tells you a back story and brings to you right up to date of what makes Marcus tick and want blood shed. If you are a fan of Movies like Friday the 13th,Texas chainsaw massacre,Hellraiser then this movie will feed your blood thirst. DON'T LISTEN TO THE HATERS !!!.

briny7777 Regardless of what some may say on this review unless you truly know the horror genre? please stick to your remakes and thinking movies like Insidious was scary please. Matt Farnsworth is the man at the helm of this Tour de Force slasher film.. Say what you want about this film, The Orphan Killer has substance and plenty of violence led by David Backus and Diane Foster-Farnsworth..The story is a in your face story with no confusion behind it. People whom downgraded this movie are the same people who critiqued Insidious,Paranormal Activity and Don't be afraid of the Dark to name a few, And gave those movies HIGH GRADES???...Lesson to be learned if you think that is horror? need a reality check..I'm not going to sit here and spoil the movie I am here to simply give a review. The Orphan Killer is a hit you hard over the top blood fest in which it's story behind it stands for the reason why there is so much bloodshed..David Backus is a force to be reckoned in years to come with the style of his mask in the movie and his demeanor he has what it takes to take TOK to new heights. Diane Foster-Farnsworth as well delivers a stellar performance and the scares that they deliver together are well complimented...I HIGHLY recommend this movie to TRUE horror fans..Not no Insidious/Paranormal Activity parasites
