Strawberry Flavored Plastic

If you're going to do a documentary / reality style type of movie, make sure it's really convincing and your character, in this case, a serial killer, make sure he has personality, the guy who plays the serial killer isn't believable for me, his actions are not genuine in my opinion, and so it's flat.

I am sorry because I did not even bother to watch the ending, that's how it sucked for me. I agree with the one reviewer who gave it a 1/10.

I gave it a 3 because the idea is fascinating +2 for that actually

It was at the point where one character responds to another,

"Reciprocally allow me to point out that..."

People simply don't don't talk this way. The entire film is laden with dialogue like this, it's very distracting.

Noel, the killer, claims to be a fan of post world war II era movies, so his out of place manner of speaking makes sense, but when every character speaks like this it just comes off as overwritten and as such very unnatural, it totally broke the immersion of the movie for me.

What can I say about Strawberry Flavored Plastic? It's a solid mockumentary about an at-large serial killer named Noel Rose (played wonderfully by Aidan Bristow), who's next in line along with Patrick Bateman (American Psycho), Henry (Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer), and Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs). This particular psychopath is an emotional type with a special motive. And what is that special motive? Well, you have to see this film to find out as the filmmakers Errol Morgan (Nicholas Urda) and Ellis Archer (Andres Montejo) are partaking to film a risky documentary on Noel's life. The shots in this film are wonderful, plus the suspense is top notch. Defiantly recommend it!

Once the opening sequence began, I was hooked. Slowly and surely, as the film progresses, the story gathers its concept that is unique and highly refreshing.

The found-footage/mockumentary concept can either pull you right in or push you out. It's not an easy approach but it is cleverly done in order for the audience to go along the journey finding out the twists, shocks, and momentary reliefs (before it comes back to shock you again).

Noel's journey as a highly intelligent and articulated serial killer, one have to ask themselves, is this person insane for the sake of it or just plain insane. The film unravels these questions carefully to learn his motives. Additionally, Errol and Ellis' filmmaking motives is just as dangerous as Noel. Willing to learn and discover the hidden secrets as they collect Noel's footage. The attempts of doing so can result with serious consequences.

Colin Bemis' creative take with a ultra low budget with a small crew is surprisingly feasible with great effort. The choices of camera footage from Skype videos to GoPro cameras add a particular modern touch. It was not supposed to look at its finest high quality but rather a conceptual one. Aiden Bristow carried a tremendous weight to make the role exceptional and uncomfortably charming. The duo, Nicholas Urda and Andres Montego, equally gave a interesting take of filmmakers who dared to collaborate with a serial killer unknowing the results.

All in all, with certain philosophical discussions between the characters, the shock values of the crime scenes, & the twists and turns of the serial killer's attempt; it felt like a strange ride.

STRAWBERRY FLAVORED PLASTIC is a great directorial debut. Reminds me of MAN BITES DOG with a modern touch. This film's pacing is a slow burn so keep that in mind before you watch it. However, the themes and questions posed within the movie are intriguing and well-explored at this level of filmmaking. Looking forward to see what kind of story the director can tell next.
