Psychopaths

So the movie does not concentrate just on one person or one story. It actually feels like short movies put together with the theme of people acting in a bad manner (or being Psychopaths as the title suggests). The movie therefor has some flow and pacing issues, but that comes with the territory. If you have multiple strings and strands that have to make sense themselves but also in the overall picture, that is what happens.

The acting is good, the editing is good. And if you don't mind there is a lot of violence in it too. There are some surprising elements and if you like darker themed movies, you will like this movie. While you may argue, this movie paints a picture of society and there might be evidence that this sort of evil does exist in the real world, this still is a movie

I've loved what Mickey Keating is doing since the day one, I've seen all of his works except for "Ritual", can't find that one anywhere. As an (using cliche words) aspiring filmmaker I relate to Mickeys ever changing style, writing themes, low-budget effectiveness and a filmmakers independce that can be truly felt. Sadly, it took some time for me to catch up with "Psychopaths", but here we are.

Madness, mayhem, darkness, neo-noir, also just neon and just noir - "Psychopaths" is an effortful & mean spirited art-house horror movie, full with beautiful shots, psychadelic imagery, murder and a handful of songs that successfully add to the atmosphere. I read in some review the acting's weak, but I oppose to that, I thought the characters & the performances completely justified the very name of the movie. For all the horror buffs there's a bonus in a form of a few seen names and faces. I'm always happy to see Larry Fessenden getting on screen from behind the camera, even if for just a few scenes. What I can't ignore or deny is the absence of plot, purpose and any kind of structure, the latter of which didn't matter to me much. Being devoid of a more substantial storyline, the 80 minute runtime is quite stretched out & I believe a lot of viewers will be bored by the pacing issues. However, I liked the directors self-awareness at the end, told in two lines by the narrator near the end. I won't tell, because You should see it yourself.

Everyone who knows me knows I hold dear the kind of horror movies which can be described as arthouse / experimental / surreal / weird and so on and so forth - "Psychopaths" fit the bill well. I recommend this one to those who relate to the aforementioned taste, because "Psychopaths" is a movie for very specific audiences. My (intendedly objective) rating: 5/10.

I'm fan of mickey keating (i really like POD, loved DARLING and enjoy CARNAGE PARK) so in his new movie PSYCHOPATHS have a bad score and critics but in my opinion, this movie is great. not boring or trash as all.

this movie is so much of tribute the Giallo horror style (some Dario Argento films) to has many visually stunning and colorful cinematography mix in the 80's slasher movies with many difference characters to kill the victims.

in my opinion. this movie is visually stunning, insane editing, beautiful cinematography, all of the great performance from many actor and actress (ashley bell is so insane performance! ), the great score and soundtrack.

10/10

Charlie is older now & his name is changed to Henry starkweather with the voice of manson? So if your not slightly lost yet, you will be after watching this pointless mess of gratuitous violence. Some ok visual styling & a not too bad backing track may keep you captivated.

If the description hadn't stated something about a serial killer dying and his spirit going into all of these other peoples bodies (or something like that) the audience would have like no idea that was even a thing....it seems like a producer watched it and was like.....we got some splainin' to do here. Ashley Bell was amazing as always, highlight of the movie. Not a bad movie at all, but uneven and beautifully shot.
