A slasher movie called “Killer Movie”? I did not expect
this to be good, and it wasn’t – it was freaking great.
Killer Movie is a movie that will be loved by some and
hated by many because this is extremely unoriginal and
not everyone will get the humour in it but this hit home
for me. Just like “Scream Bloody Murder”, Killer Movie
knows how to make me smile while still delivering all
the kills that one could want from a slasher flick. It’s
gory, funny and even made me jump a couple of times.
Heck, I even enjoyed this more than My Bloody Valentine.
Killer Movie isn’t constantly over the top so when the
gory scenes come, they’re so unexpected that you can’t
help but to cheer a little inside your head. This is
a slasher fan’s dream.
Unlike many other reality-TV oriented slasher flicks,
Killer Movie doesn’t really act like a reality-TV show,
it’s just about a bunch of people shooting a reality-TV
show. This means that the movie doesn’t look like it
was shot with a camcorder. In fact, the movie looks good
enough to be a theatrical horror flick. Anyway so these
people are shooting a reality-TV show in a small town,
unknowing of the fact that a masked serial killer is
on the prowl, following their every move. The movie starts
out quite slow so you don’t really know what to expect
at first. We get to know all of the characters quite
thoroughly and the movie doesn’t give away whether it’s
a comedy or a horror flick at once. The jokes are all
very subtle which is why some people won’t get it but
I just loved the sarcastic tone of it all. Then when
the horror hits, it hits hard and it increases by every
kill until it’s finally a complete bloodbath.
Killer Movie is indeed an outrageously entertaining
slasher flick which pokes fun at the slasher genre while
still managing to stay humble and honour slasher fans
all over the world. Yes, I think all slasher fans out
there will agree with me on the fact that this is just
a brilliant horror flick. However, for those of you with
a more… complex mind, if you will, this may seem
generic and flat. I’m sure many of you will be outraged
by my extremely positive review but I have got to be
honest and I freaking loved every second of this slasher
film and I know that some of you out there will be able
to see the genius of it as well. If you’re in the mood
for a good and fast-paced slasher flick, do not miss
out on Killer Movie. It’s an awesome ride.

I have been watching a lot of terrible horror movies lately, so I was hoping for something better here. The movie is ok. The budget appears to be larger than the movies I have been renting.
I love Kaley Cuoco from the Big Bang Theory TV show and she doesn’t disappoint here. The setting of North Dakota and the cast were all good. You won’t be disappointed, but it isn’t anything special.

Killer Movie, as the title foreshadows, is an intelligent, witty mix of horror and satire. It’s a movie within a movie, a dark and cuttingly humorous inside take on the world of reality TV, written and directed by Jeff Fisher, an actual reality TV director. The horror is especially chilling, and the humor rings particularly true, because the reality TV material is based on the director’s real life reality TV experience. Thanks to the wicked, cutting edge, deliciously twisted imagination that inspired the script, you can’t predict what’s going to happen — and that’s what makes Killer Movie a truly refreshing departure from all those horror movie cliches that have already been done to death.

“Killer Movie” succeeds because of three elements that are sorely missing for the majority of horror films these days: thrills, titillation, and wit. This is a little gem. A long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, the slasher genre was a reliable source of entertainment. Sadly it has devolved into a breeding ground for the most shallow, talentless people in the film industry. It seems there is no room to make a movie that’s actually, well, GOOD, just profitable. Every “creative” decision is borne from the desire to make money. And of course, throngs of people flock to the theaters and eat it up. Against such a grim backdrop, it is a cause for celebration when a movie like “Killer Movie” comes out. Here’s a slasher film that adheres to all of the conventions of the genre without pandering to the lowest common denominator. Horror fans will love this, and I predict it will do extremely well commercially. The story is of personal relevance to its director (a former reality TV director), and the results are funny and scary, often at the same time. The director had previously worked on shows like The Simple Life and Real World, and it’s easy to see how the experience affected him. I guess the best way to segue from reality TV into the film industry is to make a film about a reality TV show crew being MURDERED. “Killer Movie” is impressive and fun.
