Killer Body Count

The camera work and most of the acting is fine. There are certainly issues with budget and location. Part of it is due to the typical troupes used in modern feminist writings in full display here:

Church bad Church has conversion camps Men are horny, selfish, and inadequate Orgasms and sex are empowerment Men and religion keep us from experiencing our pleasure and full sexual experience Only through women can we be fully realized as a person

Yadda yadda blah blah blah.

It tries to be funny but it's not. It tries to make statements about society, but they're so hamfisted and typical that you groan. It has good gore. The writing is typical modern clichés that would only be entertaining to people who isolate themselves and avoid human interaction.

The target audience for this nonsense will be teenage girls and boys of a certain persuasion.

It follows the same trope as the Scream franchise, referencing other movies and using the cliched theme of teenage sex equals death.

There is a fair amount of male nudity (although nothing graphic) which caters for 'the female gaze'.

The movie is badly acted, shoddily directed and the cinematography and editing are perfunctory at best.

If you are an adult and are attracted to this kind of shtick then you should have moved on to a myriad of other teen slasher movies from the eighties onward. This is a watered down, disneyfied version of much better movies. Avoid.

Apparently this is a direct to Tubi streaming service film with a sizeable budget. The overall aspect of camera works didn't look too bad as it was passable. The acting wasn't anything special but it wasn't terrible.

The plot is very similar to seemingly every 80's homage slasher we have seen prior. Deals with a group of teens at a summer camp with an unknown masked killer killing off them one by one- with the lead and others trying to find out who's the killer. This takes place at a religious camp of sorts.

This film has some gruesome looking deaths but most are very standard. Slashes through the body with lots of blood coming out, metal poles sliced through bodies, weights crushing people's faces.

The film is certainly long and drags on. Could have been reduced by about twenty minutes, would have helped with its pacing and overall flow.

The very end reveal was rather confusing and somewhat of a letdown. Overall this film wasn't entirely terribly but nothing truly worth seeing.

Directing and editing killed this movie.

The pacing of the movie is completely off for a teen slasher, dialog between characters take forever; long pauses and slow interactions, this coupled with 10sec of close up face reactions at the end of every line.

The director & editor left NOTHING on the cutting room floor, every scene is extended to the limit, i.e: a car driving up to the gate; waiting for the gate to open, car drives up the path, comes out of the path and continuous on a round about... what the actual f$#k are you thinking. Are you just trying to extended the duration of your movie for the heck of it!? Is this YouTube? Are your trying to monetize ads? Lol.

Forget the amateurish acting, the acting is passable. Just no stars were created or found on this movie, believe me.

*Killer Body Count* is like a rollercoaster designed by Alfred Hitchcock, reassembled by Quentin Tarantino, and occasionally hijacked by a teenage boy with a Playboy subscription. It's stylish, darkly funny, and full of twists sharp enough to require a tetanus shot. While it occasionally veers off track, it's undeniably entertaining-like a lurid tabloid that you hate yourself for reading but can't put down.

The plot, a tangled web of misdirection, sex, and murder, is as satisfying as unearthing a juicy Agatha Christie twist. The red herrings are well-placed, and the comedy sneaks up on you like a killer in the shadows, often providing relief from the film's more gratuitous scenes of sweaty titillation. Speaking of which, the sexploitation elements sometimes feel like they wandered in from a *Basic Instinct* reboot nobody asked for, but hey, they'll keep someone entertained.

The cast delivers above-average performances, with a wry charm that keeps things from collapsing under their own melodrama. It's not horror, nor does it need to be-it's a dark psychological thriller with a visceral flair and mischievous smirk. For all its flaws, it's worth a watch if you're in the mood for noir-ish fun with a slightly unbuttoned collar.
