To me, this movie is perfection.

So much average

Load of rubbish!!

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Well, this is a very underrated film! I am so glad I stumbled across it. I just watched it and loved it! From beginning to end it did a great job at conveying a vintage authenticity. This is a rare bona fide homage. A great example is the kids that bring in the ghetto blaster to the shop. I felt like I watching a genuine 70s movie for a minute. My mind was telling me, wait, the quality is very modern and yet, it feels and looks so vintage (I rarely know anything about a movie I watch, apart from the genre - I prefer it that way). anyway, from then on, I was hooked! The attention to detail was excellent. They definitely knew what they were doing. The cast was very well chosen with a great main ensemble. On top of all that, great cinematography, effects (yikes!), editing, direction and score makes this really stand out for me. Definitely as good as It Follows. Believe me, if you consider yourself a true horror fan, you will love this film. I was a teenager in the 80s (I turned 12yo in 1984) and I know a thing or two about movies from that era. I hope there's a sequel! And please give us more homages!!

When I started watching this I thought I was in for a treat. A good horror (from the reviews), decent music, and lots of great memories of the 70s.None of those 'treats' came along.The story of this movie is OK, but the 'horror' part of the film is missing. It's almost a comedy - but its not funny. In fact, it is awful.A few 'effects' obviously using dummies and some dodgy cardboard.The film makers manage to replicate the 70s quite well at the beginning of the film - especially the very beautiful dark haired skater girl - the kind of girl I used to chase after in my teenage years - but they missed some attention to detail.The movie starts in English then switched to French, so be warned if you are not fortunate to be bilingual or able to read subtitles.Jérémie Earp-Lavergne gives a very poor performance as the lead character. Nothing much more to be said about his acting really.I'd say one to miss and leave on the shelf.

A Canadian slasher movie that resembles films like Cruising, Maniac and Dernière Séance. This serial killer gets crazy upon hearing disco music. As soon as the first tunes reach his eardrums, his eyes turn black and he gets in a killing trance (triggered by some childhood trauma). Although Discopathe is an atmospheric picture with some truly interesting and horrific moments, it couldn't ever grab me by the throat, nor scare me at any time. I suppose this movie hasn't got the intention to shock, but more to generate a dismal vibe like Dernière Séance and 1970s feeling like Cruising. This is definitely something for aficionado's and exactly therein lies its charm. It just didn't work for me this time.

Duane Lewis(Jérémie Earp-Lavergne)is an awkward and very shy man who works in a burger joint.But this soft-spoken and slightly weird guy has murderous dark side:when he hears pulsating disco music he turns into savage and merciless slasher of young women.His first victim roller-skating girl is murdered in New York night club during disco number.Duane catches the first flight to Montreal and begins his next killing spree there.What I especially enjoyed in "Discopathe" is an obvious influence of 70's grindhouse exploitation cinema and low-budget slasher flicks like Joseph Ellison's "Don't Go in the House"(1980).The film is pretty bloody and sleazy,so I can't complain.The direction of Renaud Gauthier is quite good and the cinematography is splendid.There are some silly scenes in "Discopathe",but if you like your slasher movies cheesy and bloody you can't go wrong with this groovy slasher indie.8 discopathic killers out of 10.Lots of fun.
