"I think more money was invested in packaging than in any other part of this movie. The camera had to be a piece of crap, the lighting was atrocious (shadows were everywhere...especially where they shouldnt be), and the script was probably written in under 2 hours. And where did they get those terrible actors? You could almost see them reading q-cards taped to the wall. Ive seen better actors in local car dealership commercials. And the constant footage of animal slaughter added nothing to the movie, except for making it impossible for your stomach to accept any type of snack while watching this lame excuse for a film."
IF YOU BOUGHT THIS MOVIE DON'T OPEN IT JUST RETURN IS QUICKL

"The only reason I don't rate this as a no star or even 1/2 star movie is because it isn't an option on Amazon. I bought this film while serving in Iraq, where the only thing we had to do much of the time was watch DVDs, and still didn't even finish the thing. Troops in combat zones will watch almost anything, no matter how B-level or low budget as long as there is a coherent plotline but this looks like someone spent about $500 bucks on everything including crappy camera equipment and actors and edited the movie (and I use that term loosely) on their pc before releasing it. My title stands, if you're thinking of buying this movie don't and if you bought it don't open it so that when you return it you can get your money back with no hassle."
Horrible

"Save your money! I have sat through some terrible movies, but this one takes the cake. There is no plot. It is a below-low budget movie that looks as if it was recorded on a cell phone. The character on the movie basically repeats the exact same thing with three or four different victims, and the whole time we are subjected to slaughterhouse footage. There is no way to really even know what is being done in the scene at hand. Even the Henry movie, and Dahmer look like 5 star movies compared to this one."
Absolutely Pathetic

"It is almost shocking to me how bad this movie was. You'll find it on the shelves next to horror classics and think that it is a genuine attempt at a horrifying thriller. Don't be fooled! The camera work looks exactly like what you would see at an amateur film festival. The movie itself feels.... fake. I don't doubt that 4 high school students with 50 bucks could go out and make a film of equal quality. The post-production work makes the movie a complete joke. Some of the scenes in the movie that should have been the most horrify look like they were made to be a music video. The movie will switch to unrelated pictures of a cow being butchered and it will replay the words of BTK 5 times. The acting leaves much to be desired.... but I don't think big named actors would even have been able to save this one. The bottom line is this: if you are looking for a definitive account of the BTK Killer read one of the many books on the topic such as Unholy Messenger. If you are looking for a DVD that will scare you while delving into the mind of deranged killers buy ED Gein or Silence of the Lambs."
Not even good for lulz.

"I recently deployed to Iraq. I found this DVD in the nightstand of the rooms us military stay in. Someone forgot or left it. It didn't look very good to me, but I eventually ended up watching it. I think I only watched the whole thing because I was in shock that something sucked as bad as this movie.
The movie opens with something that you won't want to watch, even if you like gore-porn. The rest of the movie shows either BTK at home talking about nothing interesting with his wife, writing retarded poetry in junkyards, or some stupid journalist type stuff.
This is all presented with the worse editing ever... ever! The camera used to film this was obviously a JVC VHS comcorder manufactured in 1989."
