Best of all the serial killer films

Precisely because of its "artless" low-key low-budget qualities this is the best of all the serial killer films. It's creepy, sleazy, sordid, grotesque, disgusting & banal - exactly as the real people & events depicted must be. The casting is perfectly on-target as are the acting, sets, etc. If you want a taste of what life is like for these guys this must be as close as it gets.

one of the best serial killer flicks ever made

The late, great art director Robert A. Burns (who worked on the original TCM) turns in a perfectly convincing performance as a serial killer. Too bad he didn't do more acting. I'll say this as well: one of the biggest reasons the 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre works so well is due to the genius of Robert A. Burns' magnificent art direction.

Director/writer Mark Blair shows tremendous talent here as well. This is another talented filmmaker who is no longer around--and it's a great loss, because this guy, with this one film, puts so many of these "masters of horror" directors to
shame.

The only (slight) negative is that the film was shot a bit on the dark side, and you won't find any extras on the DVD, other than a couple of lame trailers for a couple of lame flicks.

More horror fans should know about this one. Even though the gore isn't piled on, you get a more authentic portrait of real life serial killer Henry Lee Lucus than they showed in the John McNaughton version.

Still, both films worked for me.

I don't think so....

Well, yeah, there are some tense moments, but it's just not as good as Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. And nobody comes close to Michael Rooker's performance, no matter how good they are -- and this guy's pretty good. All-in-all a worthy effort but Henry still leads. Plus, this is a PAL disk, so most people aren't going to be able to see it anyway.
