A Perfect Child of Satan

I had not heard of this until browsing effedup and liked the description. I really enjoy shorts when they're well done, which this is, and I've enjoyed Valentine's other films, so this was a no brained to watch. It could have been even shorter, as the first and second acts (mostly the first) seemed to drag on, but I'm assuming this was done intentionally in order to fulfill the juxtaposition the viewer is faced with in the third act.

The use of sound is spectacularly harrowing in this. With the use of some sound modifiers and specifically composed music, the mood and violence of the movie is compounded at least 5-fold. The brutality, while direct and unwieldy, did not NEED this type of effect to achieve intensity, but by utilizing these sound qualities the viewer is immediately captured in the middle of the brutality. Very well done.

This film won't be for everyone. Reading comments like "no point" and "boring" are obviously from folks who a) have not watched many shorts, and b) just don't "get it." The viewer doesn't always need to be left having answers or feeling resolution. In some cases, the unsettling nature of films (especially shorts) is what comes by way of NOT answering questions or by not ending on a happy note.

We warned, while there is no gore in the film, the violence is fast and intense. Very brutal.

Having suffered through every single feature film from rapist/manipulator/abuser/all around bad person/director Lucifer Valentine and despising all of them other than the pseudo-documentary Black Metal Veins which is a horrifying film about heroin addiction and not Valentine's vomit/rape home movies edited into a feature. I figured I would give his one short film, which is also his second highest rated film, a watch because I hate myself and well...

It's predictable and kind of uninteresting but I was never really bored by it, I think the fact that it is a short film really helps in keeping it watchable. As an added plus it doesn't have any vomit or super explicit on screen violence. It actually has a plot to it and tries to develop the main character. The acting ain't too good but to be completely honest, I still found the last 5 or so minutes to be very uncomfortable and, dare I say, disturbing.

Basically the film is about a woman who is a prostitute meeting a guy online and believing he is the man of her dreams and you can tell where it goes from there.

This film and Black Metal Veins are proof that Valentine can make an interesting film without just making fetish gore out of his home movies of rape and vomit.

The man is still a monster mind you and I will never purchase or support his work directly so I'm not gonna recommend this film but If you REALLY want to seek it out just find it somewhere online for free.

I stumbled upon this short film completely on accident. It was apparently A Lucifer Valentino film... I would've seen it earlier if I had ever seen It in Lucifer's filmography. But man am i glad I stumbled into it. Chelsea Chainsaw played the role of deranged harlet beautifully. Just the right tinge of cringe to make you say, wtf?

Idk why but i liked the story and its actually kinda cool the found footage style is really cool but the end messed me up but i wish this movie was more messed up BUT this movie didnt feel like a typical gore p00rn movie and i didnt really like the vomit gore movies but this one was diffrent it just hit diffrent and the gore and stuff felt real and the acting wasnt even there like it felt like i was watching a real found footage film and the end felt like a snuff film i hate snuff but fake snuff is pretty cool and this movie was pretty darn good i am running out of words but watch it is amazing.

The first half of the short film was basically an audiobook you could listen to for the exact same effect.

The second half is edited so significantly it's painfully obviously just hiding a low budget's attempt at snuff. HOWEVER the film has some shock quality and didn't bore me. I wish more movies would cut themselves to 25 minutes and not include all the zZz material.
