LESLIE VERNON IS PLANNING ON BECOMING THE NEXT LEGENDARY MASS KILLER AND HE WANTS TO DOCUMENT HIS PATH TO THAT GOAL. SO HE HIRES A GROUP OF GRADUATE STUDENTS TO FILM HIM AS HE GETS READY TO DO THE KILLINGS. ALONG THE WAY, WE GET TO KNOW HIM AND HIS MOTIVATION FOR WANTING TO KILL.
NATHAN BAESAL PLAYS VERNON AND DOES A VERY GOOD JOB. FOR THE FIRST TWO THIRDS OF THE MOVIE HE COMES ACROSS AS INTELLIGENT AND LIKABLE BUT THERE IS AN UNDERLINING OF INSANITY THAT COMES THROUGH. THE LAST THIRD OF THE MOVIE HE BECOMES A MURDERER, FOCUSED ONLY ON THE KILLINGS. IT IS A VERY CHILLING PORTRAYAL. AS FOR THE STYLE OF THE MOVIE, IT BLENDS A DOCUMENTARY LOOK WITH A TRADITIONAL FILM LOOK, WHICH ADDS TO THE REALISM OF THE STORY. HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT AS MUCH AS THIS IS A SERIOUS MOVIE, IT IS ALSO A SATIRE ON THE SLASHER MOVIE GENRE, AND DOES HAVE MOMENTS OF COMEDY. BE SURE TO WATCH THE MORGUE SCENE THAT RUNS DURING THE FINAL CREDITS.
RATING 3.5 OUT OF 5
