(2004) Rockville Slayer
HORROR/ THRILLER/ MYSTERY
Co-executive produced, written and directed by Marc Selz, stupid, low budget and convoluted which centers on the slaughter of two couples, one of which is the police officers younger brother! Two FBI, a lady and young man are then assigned to help, ending one of them to be dead leading to more convoluted revelations as the film progresses. Joe Estevez (related to Martin Sheen) also stars as the top sheriff of the town. This film has some of the worst acting imaginable! II mean, I can tolerate the bad acting but if the action scenes are also bad then for this movie is a waste of anyone's time alive or dead.

Sheriff Duncan (Joe Estervez) sends two of his deputies to investigate the recent rash of murdered teens, while another deputy Charlie, is more interested in his brother who might've been slain by the same murder
If not for the stilted dialog, the disjointed storyline, or the atrocious delivery (the female detective being the worst offender here) and if the three bigger stars got more screen time (Z'dar and especially Linnea are barely much more than cameos) this would've been a pretty watchable film.
Eye Candy: Holly Ilyne Sari gets topless and Linnea Quigley shows T&A briefly, because if she were in any film not showing skin it would be borderline sacrilege at this point.

This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen and believe me, I've seen a lot of bad movies. The amateur acting was terrible, not to mention the plot was horrific. Half way through the movie, the sound was one second earlier than the rest of the movie so when nobody's mouth was moving, people were talking- and when people were seen talking, nothing was heard. This movie should have never been made. It truly was a waste of time and money. If anyone is considering seeing this movie, don't. You will only be disappointed and wish you hadn't wasted time out of your life to watch it. Then again, if you are an avid fan of low-budget, poorly written/produced/directed/acted movies, then check it out!
This movie, if you can call it that, is a complete joke. Some no name director gets a bunch of no name actors and makes a piece of crap entitled "The Rockville Slayer." Avoid it at all costs, even your life.
The story is absolutely idiotic and it plays out like a bad soap opera with a few "suspense" scenes even though I didn't feel tense even once during the whole film. The acting is completely laughable except for Joe Estevez but he has a pretty small role.
I found this movie for cheap at a used bookstore and thought it would be worth the price. I was gravely mistaken and now I have to live with the fact that I sat through this entire film. Don't make the same mistake I did.

First, let me just say the movie looks great. The DP knew exactly what he was doing when he shot this film because it looks very professional. However, he may have been the only guy on the crew who knew his job.
Yes, the acting is bad. So is the direction and the plot. But, my biggest gripe is with the post-production team. Specifically, the sound...
I have a question for whomever was in charge of post.....was this movie ever even sound mixed? The mix is unbelievably awful from a technical standpoint. Some of the dialog is so quiet, I couldn't hear it unless I turn my TV nearly all the way up. Then, I'd almost immediately get sprung from my chair because some sound effect would slam in at what seemed to be 90 decibels. Of course, there I am flying to the remote control to drop the volume back to a human level. Hey guys, next time, mix your friggin' movie. This "mix" is so bad, I wouldn't even insult amateurs by calling it amateurish. Plus, as the other poster noted, the sound jumped out of sync with the picture for like 5-10 minutes near the end. What's the story with that? To be fair, I don't want to put ALL the blame on the filmmakers/post-production crew. Freestyle Home Entertainment (whoever they are) NEVER should've released a film this poorly mixed. I mean, it's just flat-out unfinished. What were they thinking?
