Green River Killer

The director Ulli Lommel studied under the great Rainer Werner Fassbinder, but it has become increasingly apparent that none of Fassbinder's magnificent edge and insight has rubbed off on Lommel. With no true sense of the outrageous and satirical elements that made Fassbinder's melodramas so provoking, Lommel is nothing more than a man who endeavors to be controversial simply for the sake of controversiality.

This was just a horribly directed and told story, I'm pretty sure the history you would get say on A&E would be much better than the stuff Ulli is shoveling here. Please, don't waste your time on this film....

possibly the worst movie ever...I only got about 9 minutes into the movie and returned it. I am definitely never renting anymore movies by this director ever!! low budget and poorly, well, poorly everything! every time i pass by that movie in the video store i get chills from remembering how horribly horrible this movie was. the director should quit and find a new job and the actors should all change their names if they ever plan on trying to make it...seriously, don't waste your money renting or buying this movie. the only good thing i got out of this movie was the ability to recommend it to everyone i dislike...hee,hee. i have lost all respect for low budget movies, they used to be funny, now they're just scary bad

I saw green river killer as a part of Ulli Lommel's Serial Killer DVD box-collection that was released here in Finland and i have to say that never have i seen such bad and poor not to mention amateurish directing in my whole life. First of all , each movie seems like it's been shot on a digital camera like many reviewers stated above and the budget seems to be close to nothing.

The premise of this movie could've made an excellent plot for a decent horror movie but even that was spoiled by bad acting and directing, and what's with that one actress that Ulli uses over and over and over again in his serial killer movies? Anyways steer clear of this one fellow IMDb reviewers cause' it stinks bad, luckily my boyfriend borrowed this serial killer DVD-box to me so i didn't get to waste my money on this pile of crap!

I'm not usually one to slam a movie,but WOW!!!I know it was made for TV or whatever,but still....there's no excuse for this type of crap to be out there.What a bad,bad,bad movie.Terrible acting,filming,plot layout.....really nothing positive to say at all.I love most of the serial killer movies like Bundy,Dahmer,Hillside Strangler....etc,but this is NOTHING like those at all.I don't know what kind of filming it is that has the look that this film has,but it should be stopped immediately.It has that look like maybe someone filmed it on a $300 digital camera and took it home and made it on their computer overnight or something.The beginning credits is a long panning scene of a river with a crappy font coming up ever so slowly showing the credits.Then it goes into a montage of "arty" shots of dead body's around the river as the credits roll on before the movie even starts for 5 minutes.Sooo dramatic for such a crappy flick.Do yourself a favor and AVOID THIS LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!

This movie was worse than a porn dialogue/story line. I didn't know that was possible, but amazingly it succeeded with flying colors in sucking ass. The lighting/acting/camera work/plot/dialogue were terrible. We honestly decided to watch the director's commentary because we couldn't possibly see them saying nice things about their own movie. Of all of this, though, the "special features" was flippin' hilarious - an "interactive menu" and optional subtitles! YAY! ... Wait. Doesn't ever movie come with that?? I could go on, but this movie doesn't deserve any more of my time. And this is all said from the point of view of an avid serial killer nut, and I love GOOD serial killer movies. This just wasn't one of them - please, for the love of everything holy, throw this movie in the trash and BURN it.
