I Really LIKED It ??
Was expecting really low budget dreck. Instead from the really good opening credit sequence to the end, I was pretty entertained ! The soundtrack is awesome (especially the slow take on 'The One And Only'). I wonder if it is available for purchase.
The cast was really solid overall and the social commentary on the public's love/hate relationship with reality 'stars' was interesting and there was a lot of biting dialogue. Especially how the public ended up rooting for the L.A. Slasher, who ultimately became a social media sensation while attempting to denigrate the no talent 'stars' of reality TV
Also interesting was the distain that the reality 'stars' had for each other, where people like 'the pop star' and 'the stripper' badmouthed the victims saying they were no talent trash and that because *they* had talent they didn't have to worry about being victims of the L.A. Slasher (WRONG !!)
It is nice to be pleasantly surprised by a movie, even if you are going into it with low expectations. It was not a 'scary' movie per se, but the L.A. Slasher certainly didn't skimp on the violence and nastiness.
The drug dealer storyline was a little off for me, especially with the ultimate outcome of the two characters. And I'm also a little unsure of all of the survivors (?? the actress, the popstar, the mayor .... the British socialite , were there others ???)
It was actually interesting that you weren't sure who the L.A. Slasher was (was it Mischa Barton ??)
The biggest relief of the movie ?? When I realized the L.A. Slasher DIDN'T kill the dog .... ha ha ........everyone else was fair game !
