... View MoreSecrets of a Psychopath (2015) ** (out of 4)Henry (Mark Famiglietti) and Catherine (Kari Wuhrer) are a strange brother and sister pair who have some dark secrets. Henry, a social weirdo, meets various women online and we see the horrors that await them as they become too close to the pair.The 93-year-old Bert I. Gordon returned to the director's chair for the first time in twenty-six years to direct this horror movie that's certainly far from awful but at the same time there's certainly nothing great here either. The movie certainly showed a lot of promise and featured a nice twist at the end but at the same time there were some flaws that kept it from being better.I must say that for the most part I enjoyed the performances in the film and especially by Famiglietti and Wuhrer. I thought both of them were quite believable in their roles and I thought the whole brother-sister aspect was sold quite nicely. I also thought the film was very well-made and when you consider the budget it's even more impressive. A lot of these cheap direct-to-video releases look quite cheap and poor but that's not the case here.The story itself was interesting enough to where it should have worked better but there's no question that there's very little impact here. The film was meant to be psychological thriller but there's really not any thrills here and the film is certainly never scary. I'd also argue that the film just never fully explored the dark nature of the story like it could have.With that said, if you're a fan of the director's work then you'll notice this is far away from his "big" pictures. SECRETS OF A PSYCHOPATH isn't a masterpiece or even a good movie but there's certainly much worse out there.
... View MoreTo be honest, I don't really get what everybody dislikes so much about this movie. "Secrets of a psychopath" is one of the smaller Horror releases, that tells the story of two murderous siblings that are in a dysfunctional relationship resulting in the murder of numerous women.In my opinion, the story works. I'm quite sure a lot of it is scientifically nonsense but if you can ignore that it is actually quite easy to get drawn into the plot. I can't see that the film tries to make points with unnecessary sex scenes, either I missed them or my understanding of sex scenes differs a bit. At some points the movie tries to be humorous and while this is maybe a bit unneeded, I somehow liked it because it is rather subtle compared to most movies and doesn't break down the whole atmosphere.Just a few things I noticed, randomly ordered:1) I'm quite sure these are not the questions a psychologist would ask plus he told nothing about girls.2) The amount of hot girls this guy collects is ridiculous. Did the producers ever try out a dating site in preparation for the film? 3) When will people learn to provide some kind of plausible context. Can they please share two sentences in the cinema at least before she starts grabbing him? 4) Somehow I dislike that everything is explained through her beauty. It's like a hierarchy stating that she is worth more than the other girls.That said, "Secrets of a psychopath" is not a great movie, not a game changer or anything. But it is a solid and nice little Horror movie that will keep you entertained for its playtime.
... View MoreI don't see how someone people saw these idiots as great actors/actresses for many reasons:They pause a lot as if they don't know their lines. I don't know if they're trying to be more suspenseful but they SUCK at it if that's the case. The script is AWFUL as well. I don't know what tf they were thinking while writing this crap. The first woman literally looked straight into the camera for a second & was definitely OVERDOING the "seduction" scene. That "dirty talk" was SO ridiculous! I laughed so hard!! Don't waste your time with this crap or you'll definitely regret it!
... View MoreMajor spoiler warning for this movie equivalent to stepping on Lego's. Despite "popular" belief, this movie was an atrocity. Right off the bat the characters were about as deep as a very un-deep thing (if you think of a better analogy tell me) and the dialogue was forced and unrealistic. The acting made me want to brand my eyes. I've never seen flatter and more monotoned characters than when I watched, "The Room" which is at least funny in a terrible, distorted way. I know I can't expect much on a psycho thriller but I did not know I was signing up for a soggy sock of a film. So many things don't make any sense at all. Why the hell did two 10 year olds left in a kiddie pool for 2 minutes drown? Did they both head-butt each other and pass out? Are the two main characters related or was that some sort of act? Are those previously mentioned dead 10 year olds their kids? Why can't the dude have sex? How did he have kids if he can't? Or was it something that happened after having children? Was it the fact that his kids died? And why the hell do they dress up in creepy doll costumes to kill people? If you want to know the answer to any of those questions you're not getting them when you watch this. This movie leaves so many things unanswered and not in the good theories- and-thoughts- that-keep-you- coming-back way. In the I-want-my-goddamn- money-back- for-wasting-my-time way.
