Dahmer vs. Gacy

I love this movie! Like the other reviewer, I'm rating it higher than it deserves to balance out the disturbing personal attack that tried to pass as a review. It's not perfect, but any movie that makes me laugh this hard deserves praise.

Ford Austin does great job with both Dahmer and Ringo. Bonnie Aarons is a pleasure to watch.

My main complaints - The faux-meta scene where the general and her staffer talk about how the plot of the movie would make a horrible movie..."worse than Plan 9". This kind of preciousness should be scratched from this and all movies. It's why I hate Troma.

Watch this and enjoy!

Loved this movie. In the latest craze of slasher, slash, occult mania, this movie stands out with it's silly take on the genre.

The director takes a comical approach that is very entertaining. Dahmer and Gacy are the two blood thirsty villains (at times literally), who spread fear and body parts throughout the movie. They escape from a genetic experimental center that had been tasked with bringing the most blood thirsty serial killers back to life. A fun and gory hour of mayhem follows.

I watched the movie with a few friends and it is a lot of fun and appeals to a lot of tastes. It is so ridiculous that you have to watch it. 10 Stars!

This movie tries to do a couple things, and fails at every one. It tries to be gory, And unless you find splattered Smuckers strawberry jam gory, it fails. It tries to be hip and ironically funny, the "so stupid it's funny" cult flick. It fails at this more miserably than anything else. The acting is bad, the direction....I don't even know what to say other than to ask if there was an actual director there every day, the production value would make high school digital media classes shake their heads in shame. FAIL FAIL FAIL. Do anything other than watch this movie, laundry, wash your hair, scrub the floors, repeatedly hit your temple with a ball peen hammer, ANYTHING other than watch this movie.

I didn't expect to be here reviewing this as a "10"! My expectations weren't low, but they weren't high either. It made a good bookend to my Gacy and Dahmer dvds I thought.

Wow! In an age where anyone with a digital camera can make a movie this B-fest reminds me of the early John Waters or Peter Jackson. When you actually borrowed money for film to FILM a movie! I love low-budget B-movies, or I can... if the creators put their hearts into it. Like "Necropolis Awakened", where the creators played all the parts and did all of the camera-work! Or Neil Stryker in "Evil Cult" by Neil and Rob Taylor!

Ford Austin just took this idea and went whole-hog with it, unabashed that the concept was both off-beat and offensive! If he'd tried to hold back or be pc, or 100% scientifically logical, he'd have fallen flat. Thank Zod he didn't! I laughed in the good way. The actors were great, Ford playing a duel role. Randal Malone's John Wayne Gacy came off as Divine's Babs Johnson re-incarnated and that's a GOOD thing! "That Guy" Art LaFleur is in it! Harland Williams is God! Bonnie Aarons has a new fan club member in me. Argh, I almost forgot to mention Ethan Phillips (from ST:Voyager)!

I have never been this taken-in by a film since my first Waters days. It was too good to last, I half-expected it to fall apart at any time as I've been disappointed before. The dialogue kept coming faster and heavier and I expected the actors to get trapped under the weight of it all but Ford and Randall and Bonnie were at the top of their game, very impressive. Again for a low-budget films without all of the re-takes and dubbing and tricks to make things look flawless. Not once did I cringe when an actor opened their mouths. Great music, clever editing and a bit of fast-motion and even black & white tinting were superbly done.

I put this up there with "Pink Flamingos", "Bad Taste", "Evil Dead" and I will follow Ford Austin's career wherever it goes. Hey, I love mainstream, I sing along with "The Sound of Music", I got teary-eyed at "Titanic" and I have the extended LOTR trilogies. I'm "normal". ;) I recommend this to my fellow film-fans.

The End

This is one of the worst movies ever made. Ford Austin and his partner Marc Wasserman team up to make movies with a small 7D Canon, and then they throw big parties to celebrate their lack of any creative achievement. The purpose of making films is misunderstood by these uninformed and untalented men.

I'm not sure if this is a comedy or a horror or a thriller. None of them fit.

FOrd Austin and Marc Wasserman avoid their usual tactic of adding their names to others unfinished films such as Showgirls 2, for credit, and they make this home video on their own using something that looks like ketchup for blood. This didn't get large distribution and is self distributed by friends online with small distribution.

There is no main character in the film, and Marc Wasserman tries his best to act like a real actor in this, but failed. The lighting is different in continuation scenes, and production value is confusingly lower than small budget. IT looks like a couple friends decided to film in their yard on Halloween, then attempt to make a movie from it while filling in padding from the B- roll footage.

I give it no stars.
