Psychopaths

Some really cool masks, super weird cheesy shots that make you wonder what the hell? I like a few of the actors in it like Larry Fessenden, Jeff Daniel Phillips's, James Hebert and Ashely Bell is gorgeous! This movie is so ridiculous especially the cop, something is wrong with that guy! Decent movie though I'm a little surprised only 8 others reviewed.

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

This is Mickey Keating's fifth or sixth film that he both wrote and directed. Its nice to see a director writing and directing all of his movies. It allows for a full vision into the directors mind. Mickey Keating has had a kind of amateur style in his past films, with "Darling" being his highest rated film at 5.5 which to me,is a shock because I didn't think Darling was anything special. The black and white was clearly only used because of a minimal budget and the editing is pretty bland. Keating uses that split screen technique which he led into Psychopaths as well. I went into Psychopaths excited. I seemed it out the day it came out on DVD. Although Keating's directing has been amateurish, he is still a big influence of mine as I am,working on my first feature film myself. Just looking for some people to stand behind it. Keating is a true horror fan. His shudder series is great and its cool how he shot himself up the ladder through deep passion for the genre. Psychopaths surprised me. Its his best looking film yet. That amateur directing style is gone. Besides a few minor editing blunders, It seems like he finally is really getting the hang of this. Psychopaths didnt have a legit story with a climax. It was more of like a montage of murder, or an anthology film about a bunch of different serial killers. A really cool aspect is that its a true indie horror. I LOVE Larry Fessenden. He is one of my top idols. Keating has an all star indie horror cast. Ashley Bell, James Landry Hebert, Josh Ethier, Graham Skipper, Joe Begos, Jeremy Gardener, Helen Rogers, Matt Mercer, Jeff Daniel Phillips, Padraig Reynolds, PLUS it has Angela Trimbur AND Larry Fessenden!! Mark Kassen gave a very good performance in this movie too. Very heartfelt and true. So did Gardener. Most of these people are directors and trekked a very similar path I am currently trekking. This film is truly kind of brilliant. Its refreshing and violent and dark and like a neon noir at the same time. Its a movie about the killers. Imexcited for Mickey and am excited to see what's next for him. You can tell he is happy with what he is doing.

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

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.
