Exceedingly awful
From what was touted on the box as the best independent video release of the year, Diary of a Serial Killer had a lot to do to live up to that promise.
Unfortunately it did not even come close.
It tries very hard not to have the look of a cheap telemovie, but its parentage peeks through and unhappily reminds you exactly how cheap it is.
I can see what the writer and director were trying to do with the Busey character, and his inner torment at having to interview a serial killer. But it just didn't come off that well on screen.
Arnold Vosloo isn't that bad, but is let down by some truly awful dialogue.
A great idea, but poorly executed.
