Sociopathia

This one was directed by Ruby Larocca who everybody knows from Orgasm Torture In Satan's Rape Clinic (2004).

Story centres around a prop builder who we quickly find out doesn't have all her buttons and as a result she throws on a mask and kills people always getting blood everywhere.

The film just ends up being a female version of Maniac (1980) which is probably her homage of sorts but it comes too close to Maniac (2012) release which still leaves a bad taste.

I guess for Ruby's first time directing its not bad. Film quality is good as well.

This was probably one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It was actually ridiculous!

Looks like a rip-off of the movie MAY. Like how desperate was the writer ? This is clearly a cash grab for horror fans

...BUT schizophrenia the main character was clearly suffering from.

Well, this is an American indie horror production / interpretation, so let's just be gentle with it.

Positive about it was that it was filmed in Baltimore instead of L. A. or California. Somewhere else for a change!

I liked the flick. It was not that bad. From my horror enthusiast point of view this was very likeble to watch.

A gem in the indie horror genre!

Ps. They even thanked the "Pope of Thrash" - John Waters that is - in the ending credits. That was something. Well, Waters resides in Baltimore, so that was a natural way of doing it.

The plot sounds like something relatively simple that could be of interest and entertaining. As a lower budget independent horror film, expectations weren't too high. Overall the story starts off decent as we are introduced to the lead characters and as we continue watching, we get a sense that she has mental type problems.

The story and film does get better once another woman enters the story, a character Kat whom is a new employee at their workplace of some sort of dolls production company.

However it tries to deliver a perspective of the lead as she struggle with mental disorder, it also has the benefit of playing around artificial props which already have inherited creepiness about them. Thoughtfully the performance from the main cast can be sum up to either girls throwing tantrum or over the too and superficially seductive. Things get worse when they scream at each other, it's quite numbing at this point. There is nudity and skin shown (including right as the film begins- all be it brief). The blood and violence is cheap looking but not too bad.

The main problem is the lack of suspense and thrills. We see the killer wearing the mask but we immediately know who it is, ruining the surprise. The ending was lacklustre as it just came to abrupt ending. A solid effort but with better writing and better actors this could have been a lot better.
