B.T.K.

The only good thing about the movie is the main actor is semi-decent. Otherwise the color pallet is off-putting, the death scenes are lame, most of the movie is boring, there's no character development and the movie just ends without much of a resolution at all. Not worth your time even for someone who likes watching bad movies. It's not so much bad as it is pointless. Not to mention the title makes little sense as it has very little in correlation to the real life B. T. K. killer

Rating - 15/100

Kane Hodder, what e really nice person he is. I have met him in the flesh and he agreed to stand together with me on a picture. That picture is now here hanging on the walls. I will meet him again in October 2010 on another convention. What a movie list he has, being all kind of weirdo's. Here he's in the movie made by Michael Feifer. A director who is obsessed with making movies about serial killers. Kane gives a great performance but as with so many flicks about serial killers they are a let down. So far they are almost based on the person but don't reflect his life. I can only say that To Catch A Killer (oop in all ways) is so far the only flick that keeps up with the facts. Maybe Zodiac too but hey, I'm loosing track now myself. This movie is more into the mind of the killer and his family than about the victims. No dates are given, no nothing so I can say that it could be any killer in particular. Okay, they uses his name and the fact about the church and Park City is true...The good thing is that when something is happening it is gory. But you will have to wait 35 minutes before that and than another 30 minutes. Sad but true. A bit weak but Kane keeps the movie together. And don't get me wrong, you don't have to make it explicit because it all happened and we have to think to the survivors or families involved but again, no info is given about BTK at the end of the movie. The man said it himself, nobody is talking me, nobody notice BTK and that's why I could kill for 30 years. So I can state, ,that's why nobody will notice this movie...

This wasn't one of the worst films I've seen however, I haven't much positive to say about it either, except that it was a real stinker.

When you watch a horror film you want to see certain elements that make the story thrilling and scary.

What makes a bad film is when you already know the plot, the serial killer, and his motives, the film is predictable and you can already have a solid guess of how it will end. BTK doesn't move you, it doesn't shock, or scare you, and is very dull and uninspiring.

BTK is a film about a well know American serial killer. I, however, didn't know anything about him before watching this film.

To start with it felt as if it were shot in the '80s or '90s with some close-up camera angles, and gritty shots of our killer's face, and the victims, I was flabbergasted to find out was filmed in 2008.

There were very few moments where I was intrigued as the story was quite slow-paced. The positive moments included Kane Hodder's performance as Dennis Rader going about his day-to-day life. He was a strict security officer that seemed to thrive, and get enjoyment being the authority. It almost seemed as if he believed in his mind that he was upholding the law and being such a great role model to society.

That was semi-interesting. Now for the dreary parts of the film, and believe me there were many. The writing and overall plot were lackluster. The performances and casting minus Hodder were sluggish and lacked passion. It was as if the casting directors just grabbed regular people off the street and offered them a few hundred dollars to play a minor part in the story. And finally, the overall execution of the film was just poor. You don't feel satisfied by the end of the film, and quite obviously shouldn't have any positive feelings towards Rader being a sadistic psychopath.

This is one of these watch it once and then forget type films. Although I highly recommend skipping it altogether.

3/10.

A missed opportunity to make a seriously good picture, on the horrific crimes of the most notorious 'B.T.K' Serial Killer. 'B.T.K' (the film) is not just inaccurate but for most times, pretty dull. Any documentary on this most terrible, horrific case, would have been far more compelling.

First off people should at least use a Google search to find out what the BTK serial killer did and that he did actually exist as our friend from New Zealand failed to do. Yes, the BTK serial killer did exist this is not one of a series of films of made up serial killers from some company named BTK. Dennis Rader avoided detection and held people in fear for many years before being apprehended. He called himself BTK because he would Bind, Torture, and then Kill his victims. He operated in the Wichita, KS area United States. This film is not a blow by blow account of his misdeeds but rather an assumption of many of them blending truths with suppositions. While this film is not going to win awards it is a look into the twisted mind of a serial killer that seems to fascinate while also disgusting the observers. If serial killers are a subject of interest to you then you will find this film worthwhile, if not then you might want to pass.
