Part of a compilation AMERICAN HORROR STORIES 12 MOVIE COLLECTION


As stated elsewhere her on IMdB I tend to frown on these compilations. I fear they are cheaply made and probably will not stand the test of time Nonetheless as I start crackling the few open that I have, I have began to appreciate what thy offer. Its offer a bit to my surprise. The acting sucks but it gets better as the plot progresses. The actor who played the killer seemed to grow in his expressed indifference. Little tell tell signs began to suggest that his dysfunctional mental state stemmed more from child hood than the field jacket initially suggested. His monologue before the mirror, while seemingly derived from TAXI DRIVE'S Travis Bickle, was enlightening. His racial slurs and imitative tone (albeit stereotypical of African-American) demonstrated an angst straight urban America. It resonated so well that along with the fact that the only other victim (killed by the detectives) was the pimp, *beep*

The scene where the detectives go to the sleaze whole in a wall was pure comedic release ad-mist a dark tale. Al told this poor movie made use of so many elements we see in thrillers. Too bad the budget did not allow for then to be cohesive.
