Who's Watching Oliver

Wowee wow wow. What a sick hot mess. How sick am I that I love it? The son in UK BTKs girls while his mother watches online from a distant country. All the while she is cocktailing and heckling the poor victims as only a vicious serial killer can. This mom has prompted me to write the eleven worst movie moms list. Oliver's mum, No Way to Treat a Lady mom, The Dead Girl mom, Carrie mom (Piper Laurie totally wins this category).

Yeah I'm into dark stuff but this is a what for movie. Just sickening crap for the sake of crap. Nothing can come from a film like this. Some sick puppy made this, and this would feed and encourage a sick sick mind. Foul But.,, I'll be fair and say that there was talent here not only in the acting but the the entire production. I just wish there was more to the story which was where the film fails miserably.

There are good and bad things about Who's Watching Oliver. If you like brutal or/and disturbing scenes then I'm sure you will like the ones in this movie. They are pretty hardcore but they fit perfectly well with the deranged character of Oliver. Russell Geoffrey Banks did a good job playing Oliver, you kinda want to call the police as soon as you see him. The weakest link of this movie was Margaret Roche, playing Mama. That could have been much creepier than it actually was. The story is also not very complicated, but for some thrashy horror movie it will do. Overal it's not a bad movie, not for the faint of heart though.

Oliver is a lonely person, messed up by his upbringing. He has regular chats with his mother, who eggs him on in rather sinister ways. The story is quite twisted. Scenes are either his apartment or an amusement park in Thailand. He dresses pretty much as a nerd, with a camera round his neck. He speaks in a very tentative fashion. Each day he takes two pills and then goes to the park. He hopes to meet women, or at least is told by his mother to meet women. His mother treats him like a little boy, and he obeys. And he assaults and kills women while he is live streaming to his mother, and disposes of their bodies in a vat, and tosses the bones into a river. His mama is very perverted, and he must obey her. He happens to meet Sophia, who had a messed up childhood, was in a cult, but escaped. They seem to hit it off very well, getting along like children, which of course will not sit well with his mother. In fact, mama will not let anything stand between him and her, so Sophie had better be "gone". A very twisted tale of a mother's love. A very perverted mother at that. Oh, Oliver finds he likes cats, and not to kill them.

I was asked to review this movie as part of the podcast that I run. In addition, the lead actor Russell joined us to get a deeper look into the film, the actors involved and Oliver himself. I was blown away from start to finish. This indie film didn't feel small in any way shape or form, the characters and story both felt huge. My personal favorite being Mama, she made me feel dirty and scared all at the same time. I am VERY excited for the release of this film and looking forward to other new projects that Russell Geoffrey Banks brings our way!
