    Drawing on low-budget shockers such as The Blair Witch Project, Man Bites Dog and Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer for inspiration, this thriller is no doubt meant to be provocative and controversial, but it just tries too hard. The film follows the “exploits” of serial killer Max (Kevin Howarth), who interrupts verité video footage of his appallingly brutal crimes with speeches delivered to camera, attempting to explain his nihilist motives while challenging the audience for continuing to watch. While it initially grabs the attention, its pseudo-intellectual overtones (it was written by a philosophy graduate) sit uneasily with its more avowed exploitation elements and the extreme violence will certainly be too much for some audiences. The central conceit, which won't be revealed here, will play much better when the movie comes out on video/DVD, which is where the curious would be advised to see it.

    Cuts to the bone...

    An inventive twist on the serial killer genre which follows the unfolding video diary of self confessed psychopath. As the killer explains, this is the real thing, and if you keep watching you're likely to be confronted with a nightmare much closer to home than the simulated terrors you had anticipated. The killer may be the kind of braggart that we would love to see get his just desserts, but the film achieves a neat trick in being knowingly ironic, gut churningly authentic and highly watchable at the same time.
