I had no problem with the rest of the film, which was pretty much disgusting and over-the-top gore and torture scenes.ĭirector Nick Palumbo seems to have tried to make the "ultimate" serial killer in his German photographer. It seems the aim of this film is to offend as much as possible, and there were about four times that I felt "this is a bit too much" (two of the rapes and the afformentioned child murders). Rape in itself is pretty repelent, but the site of women caked in blood and screaming at the top of their lungs while this guy rams them from behind violently was pretty difficult to watch at times. The other thing that got to me were some of the rapes. I'm pretty jaded, but I don't consider seeing a man shove a butcher knife in a 12 year old girl's stomach or running a straight razor down the side of another's face while she's screaming to be "entertaining."
MURDER SET PIECES SCENES MOVIE
this was one of the two things in this movie that "got" to me. Initially, it's just twentysomething prostitutes but near the end, he starts murdering young children as well. mostly because of who the victim becomes. the murders are RELATIVELY subdued (it's all very graphic and nasty), but as the movie goes on, things get more and more queasy. In AMERICAN PSYCHO, the murders started off being infrequent and as the book progressed, they got much more numerous and twisted. Take all the graphic murders from that book, string them together one after another, and you basically have this.Įven the structure of the movie is similar to Ellis' book. To attempt to describe how the experience of watching this all plays out, I point to Ellis' AMERICAN PSYCHO novel. The only thing in it that vaguely resembles a "story" is a young girl who is concerned for her sister, who is dating said psychopath (I don't believe we ever find out his name). MURDER-SET-PIECES is about a German photographer who picks up hookers, rapes them, and then kills them. it was the first NC-17 rated movie I ever saw in the theaters (I missed John Waters' film a while back), and it's certainly one of the most violent films I've ever seen. This film was a bit of a milestone for me. SOME SPOILERS, ALTHOUGH BEING THAT THE FILM BASICALLY HAS NO PLOT, SAID SPOILERS ARE BASICALLY JUST DESCRIPTIONS OF SCATTERED IMAGES AND SCENES* I've tried to be as thorough as possible.
