SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

When I found "The Orphan Killer" I had never heard about it, nor did I know anyone on the cast list. With those two facts, I do like the odds of it becoming something of a surprise, so of course I gave it a watch. And the fact that it being a horror movie just adds to the interest, of course.I managed to watch 30 minutes of this boring movie, and it failed to captivate me or keep my interest in every aspect. Nothing of any value or worth happened to win me over.There were a couple of interesting effects, but nothing that could turn the tide of the losing interest.The movie was riddled with mundane and boring characters, whom lacked depth and dimensions. That sort of thing is something that quickly drains away the will and desire to keep watching a movie for me.I have no intentions of returning to watch the rest of the ordeal that is known as "The Orphan Killer". So a friendly word of advice, stay well clear of this one.

So i finally get down to doing this. Reading some of my own and others words lately i found out that once we've seen a movie we tend to discuss it at the past tense. The thing is that this particular film is still alive and well so this will be my bloody review for THE ORPHAN KILLER. It is an indie horror film, slasher mostly and judging by the first time i watched the trailer i was like: "WOW!", immediately sure that i would be in for one hell of a ride with this film. And boy is this statement weak to describe the film! As soon as this film starts, without giving any sort of warning, THE ORPHAN KILLER got me in the stomach and embarked me as 2 new faces in the horror universe: Marcus Miller and his baby Sister Audrey (Diane Foster) were entangled in a fight, what is often the most fun and interesting about this type of film! From the start, the story itself holds its ground and is intriguing as there's already enough displayed for the viewer to know about the main characters backgrounds, but also realize that it would be possible to expand on their mythology.And with a team that has managed to do that much with the very little they had (Often proof that horror works somehow without the overuse of what a big budget could have provided.), what you see and what's told about, or by the Orphan Killer and/or his sister needed to stay somewhat intact Imo. In a way, i think that both characters made the film. From over the top murders to thrilling chase scenes, this one seems to have caught very well the most captivating essence of slashers. Add to this the really well made gore and other surprising make up effects? A haunting/Haunted murderer (Amazing work by Backus), able to both verbalize and demonstrate through his eyes and movements all of his intentions and you end up with a really fun ride through the whole thing.Some of Marcus' brutal attacks are awesomely original, still this originality manages to be depicted through Matt Farnsworth's ideas about filmmaking with really well thought out ideas about the filming. And i think that it all paid off, considering that it is, most often what can stand out of a film like that with so little compared to the amount of slasher remakes we see in big theaters nowadays. And with a devastating score to go along with Marcus' ruthless agressions, this film came at a very right time for horror fans, proving that there is room for new faces, masks and names in our horror collections.I just bloody enjoyed the film from start to finish despite very little flaws and Marcus seems to have done, like his peers in the universe, what Myers, Jason and Freddy for instance have manage to do. Only this time, one film seems to have been enough to captivate the audience for this aggressive and wounded, Christian-raised killer and he is just the antagonist part of this interesting new horror tale! The Orphan Killer has rallied a brutal family of horror fans and it still has the power to grow bigger from here on so this reviewer must thank and congrats Matt, Diane and the whole team behind the movie. Really thrilled, starving for more . Can't wait for what's to come! 8.5/10

"The Orphan Killer" is a modern slasher horror that builds upon the classic elements of psycho killer lore with thoughtful, surreal aesthetics and brutal blood-spilling force. The film is directed by Matt Farnsworth and stars Diane Foster, David Backus, Matt Farnsworth, James McCaffrey. The film has one of the coolest and cruelest killers in the slasher genre. The story follows Audrey Miller and her homicidally delusional brother Marcus Miller. Siblings whose world is turned upside down by a home invasion that leads to the murder of their parents. Orphaned then separated, the two kids lives lead in very different directions. One prospers in the community while the other becomes a monster of urban legend that haunts the halls of the orphanage. Audrey soon faces her past with excruciatingly painful objectivity. The story of "The Orphan Killer" is truly a modern, creative one with a new evil stepping up to the horror plate creating a nightmare perfectly framed in the aspects of religious grandiosity. There are certain little moments that take from various elements of the story's slasher genre past that act more to highlight and pay tribute to Matt Farnsworth love of the genre, moments that are best left for the fan to discover than to point out in this review. I just have to say that even though I noticed small moments that are reminiscent of some horror classics, pretty much every aspect of this film has a unique feel and vision all it's own. "The Orphan Killer" does truly offer up a new nightmare killer and powerfully intimidating horror icon. The acting and visual style of "The Orphan Killer" somehow blends the surreal and American grindcore cinema techniques effortlessly. The continuity and unease of atmosphere that echoes through the film provides a nonstop intense, chilling ride into hell. There were moments in the film I had to look away from the graphic display, not from a weak stomach but because the seen was so intense I needed a moment of relief. The characters in "The Orphan Killer" are straight forward, grounded characters and yet there are some moments in the story that display widely unnatural behavior-but I am not Catholic, nor did I grow up in a Catholic world so I don't know if nuns really fantasize about sucking cock. Maybe they do. Anyway this movie is pretty epic in it's storytelling, artistic style and character integrity both with the killer and the protagonist. "The Orphan Killer" is truly one of those great indie horror films that gets it all right. The story is morbid, dark and intense. The acting and action is thrilling from almost the word go. The kill sequences and special effects are gruesome and realistically unsettling. The soundtrack rocks and the The Orphan Killer himself is a true, terrifying force of evil that isn't easily forgettable. This film is definitely one to see for all horror fans.

Just been exposed to this awesome movie, and I'm glad I bought a signed copy. This movie is not for everyone- it's very gory, very suspenseful, and downright blasphemous to some. It is not a PG-13 horror movie by any means, and R might not contain it. But for those who find those things a positive...1. Deep Characterization- Despite minimalist dialog, the acting is superb, small motions and scenes bringing across character depth often unseen in the horror genre.2. Powerful Gore Effects- The kills in this are scary realistic, hits mangling and deforming people before they die. Heads are ripped apart, blood flows, skin is ripped off- it's painful looking stuff, and awesome.3. Cinematography and sound in general are both superb, the picture clear and easy to see. Brutal sound on all the squelching, deadly hits going on.4. Acting. The voice of the Orphan Killer is terrifying and awesome, and the way people carry themselves in this really communicates the punishment their bodies have been put through.There are things I could nitpick about this film, but they are so minor in comparison to the awesomeness of it, I can't bring myself to type them. Here's waiting for the sequel!
