"An outrageously entertaining slasher flick"



 A reality-TV crew is sent to a small town in North Dakota
to shoot a reality show on a local hockey team that are
on their way to become big. On location however, they
find that another story is much more interesting. Freak
accidents have killed locals in the small town recently
and the TV-crew sees an opportunity too good to let down.
What they don't know is that a masked serial killer is
watching their every move.


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.


We get severed hands, decapitations, slit throats and
a whole lot more. Great stuff.


This was possibly one of the best things about the
movie. The music was just spot on. It dared not to be
anonymous and helped in creating some very memorable
scenes. Job well done.


Killer Movie isn't for everyone but if you're a huge slasher
fan like me you will love Killer Movie. This movie is
so much fun that it has to be seen to be believed. It
doesn't take itself too seriously but still honours
slasher movies. It's just a very entertaining movie.
