My Sweet Killer

This film is my idea of a real horror film. Most of all because it could and does happening. Watching a young man with mental problems disenigrate into murder is something we've all read about. I really like the POV of the film which is so much through the characters view and view point. It is his world and you are just a visitor.

Just saw this obscure film. I almost turned it off during the first ten minutes. I must say it isn't particularly well shot. However isn't about that. It is a character study of what goes on inside a disturbed person's mind as he valiantly tries to return to society. Kirk Harris' performance in this film is downright chilling. Somehow you feel for a guy that is headed for mass murder. Strange little flick that is much better than most other over hyped independent films. The use of sound ads another creepy layer to the film.

I was searching through a local bargain bin and found a single copy of this film. I purchased it on the strength of the Filmthreat review and was pleasantly surprised that it lived up to the review. Sure it is a low budget film that relies more on the actors than the action but the cast hold their own. The script has a few moments that are hard to follow but the plot comes through if you pay attention and in my humble opinion it is worth the effort. A slow dark thriller. Some of the action at the end could have been choreographed better but i know from experience on sets of B-movies that choreographing action can be tough so I'll let that slide.

This cheap film grabbed me and kept me interested and there was definitely a lot of heart behind the scenes and it shows on screen. If you ever get the chance to see this movie i recommend you watch. Good stuff!

I found My Sweet Killer to be a creepy little film. The sound effects are very important in this film. Voices in the head (or are they?) sprinkle through the film. Starts a bit slow, but builds towards something most indies don't - a real story and conclusion. Best thing about the film and the reason without doubt to watch it is the performance of the lead actor Kirk Harris. Only way to describe it is Taxi Driver-ish. I've not seen him in another film yet, however he appears to be a young DeNiro like actor in the making. Also, enjoyed most of the rest of the actors as well. Which is a huge surprise on a low budget film. There where however a few obvious non-actors in the film which pull the viewer out a bit. All in all very disturbing.

#3 on the list of worst movies I have ever seen, this movie came in a box of 4 DVDs. Now, quite often when you have several movies propped into one box, there's only one good movie among them.

Not having seen the three others yet, I am hoping that this one is not it. The acting isn't bad but that's mainly because there isn't much for the actors to do.

The story is fairly basic: a guy has mental problems, sees a beautiful girl in his dreams that wants him to commit suicide ... and towards the middle of the movie, you find yourself actually hoping that he will, so that he puts you out of his misery. The main character is always looking for pills that can help him sleep. He could watch this movie instead.

If the other movie on the same disk turns out as bad as this one, I'll use it as a frisbee.
