Murder Is Like Sex

A friend loaned me his copy of this movie. This is one of those truly awful movies shot by amateurs direct to video. Ham acting, dumb script, poor lighting. The basic plot, if you can call it that, is that of a store clerk who is a chronic masturbator who manages to make himself the suspect in a murder. Basically that is all there is to the story. There are few crude scenes with regards to the young mans habits (his hands are in his pockets a lot. Some women may be offended. About as erotic as a dead dog, this movie will not push your buttons and in fact may scare you off sex for the rest of your life. Long and boring, this is not worth a look even if you get it free. This seems to be the only movie directed by Keith Boron who also wrote the script. If we are all very lucky this will be the last one.

I ended up getting a copy of this film the other day and I will say that for director Keith Boron's first time directing, it's not too shabby. The idea for the storyline is a very interesting one and the variation in locations, editing, and continuity are well-done. The acting is a mixed bag (the stronger performances being given by the main actors) and I would have cast someone with a more mainstream look in the role of popular girl, Michelle Clark, but overall it wasn't as though I was sitting there cringing whenever someone would utter their lines. All in all the story concept is entertaining, the acting isn't too bad and the production quality is overall pretty good for a low budget. I hope that director Keith Boron takes what was learned with this film and applies it to making future ones.
