Son of Sam

...this movie is so horrible David Berkowitz should sue Ulli Lammel for using his story without permission. Satan himself should sue Lammel for damaging his reputation. Avoid this movie! I'm sorry I added it to my collection. Just how bad can this be? The neighbors talking dog turned in the best performance. I watched Woods of Evil AND Tsui Hark's Vampire Hunters, this was worse than WOODS but not quite as insufferable as HUNTERS. I believe if Berkowitz had known this movie would be made he would do things differently. This is so horrible it couldn't even win a Razzie for BAD films. The movie had a budget of like $2k and it shows. Just please, friends won't let friends watch this movie.

wow! I'm actually playing the DVD right now and it is soooo freakin' awful! I don't even have to wait for it to end to write my review. It's like a sub-par student production. The writing is unbelievably bad. And the acting... well, I seriously think I saw better acting in my daughters elementary school play. If these are serious actors trying to build an acting career, I really feel bad for them, it would really have to suck to be associated with this film. If I were them, I'd make sure to leave this horrid film out of their resume. I'm not all that picky when it comes to films either. I always try to find something good about a production. But this.. I just can't find the silver lining on this film. I think this Ulli Lommel fella should maybe consider looking for another line of work.

Terrible in every way...Elementary students could have done better making it up as they go along. Acting? None I picked this up in one of the Movie Vending machines where i thought at least they were studio movies. This proves that wrong. Guess someone got a camera with a few special effects and made a movie. This was done with really actors (Ok they're is no way these people take their selves seriously as acting as a career). No i am not watching this movie all the way through. I decided to just write this to spare someone from even putting this in there DVD player. I didn't even go into the sounds of all the mumbling people! What is up with that. Was that supposed to be scary or disturbing. It is just horrendous.

My cousins decided to see this on pay per view, and we definitely wished that we could refund it. After seeing the whole movie, we felt that we could have made a better movie with nothing but a camcorder (which is probably what these people used as well). The filming style is crappy, as is the acting and the effects. The Satanic worship sequences are anything but scary and are more hilarious than anything else. The main actor should probably stay away from acting as should the rest of the actors in this film. At times, they used the same actors from an older scene in a different scene. Stay as far away from this trash if you value your time.

This to me is just an awful depiction of a real life horrible murderer. I did not feel I was watching a story that explained what really happened, instead I felt I was watching a triple z -rated made-up story horror film - yes it's that bad.

The actors were fine to me - I do not have any beef with them. It was the story and the way it was filmed that got to me. Just to much focus on a satanic-cult that David (Son of Sam) keep envisioning and crap like that.

First of all, police are still doubting the claim of a satanic-cult involved. Even if there was one involved, how it was depicted in this film was just wrong - I felt the way it was shown was just wrong. It was like a horrible fictional cheesy triple z-rated film.

Secondly, I didn't like the 'distorted' look as we saw what David saw... (When David saw his victims it looked like some type of a cheap distorted effects).

Third, The priest at the end - looking more like a cheap rip-off of The Exorcist than a realist priest helping David.

This version of "Son of Sam" is a triple z-rated horror film instead of a film that tells us the story of what really happen. The true life story of what happened was horrible - there was no need to ham-it-up and make the real life horror into some cheap story.

I'm sorry - I hate giving bad reviews - but this film really is an awful depiction of a real life horror story.

I would give this film a 1 - but I will give it one extra point for the actors... they were not the problem with the film.
