There is no way anyone would like this movie who didn't have personal stake in it's budget. This movie is atrocious, there is absolutely nothing worse or insulting then when somebody tries to pass something like this off as, "social commentary kick in the gut" film. Babel is, There Will be Blood is, Goodfellas is. You can't even make fun of Antisocial Behaviour because all you feel is pity. It's like when you play a prank on somebody and then when you feel awful because realize how devastated they are after it's pulled, that same feeling will wash over you after watching this. With the huge shortage of oil in the world, DVDs don't need to be wasted making awful movies like this.

'How well do you know your neighbour?'
One of the questions asked by 'Anti Social-Behaviour' ( I can only imagine that the dash is in the wrong place for a reason). The debut feature of Englishman Vinson Pike, the film was shot in and around the town of Swindon. It tells the tale of Jakob Kelser, a loner, and his ultimate descent into madness. Sick and tired of the hell a gang of vicious youths are putting him through, Jakob decides that the system is failing him and takes matters into his own hands.
Brutally!

'Just who is being the more anti-social?'
Another of the questions asked by this admirable piece of wish-fulfillment. 'We have all wanted to do this to troublesome youths at some time or other'.

The performances of the overall un-blooded - no pun intended - cast are assured, especially those of the two leads, David Watkins and Posy Brewer. There is also some eye-catching cinematography from newcomer John Wilson. 'Ambiosis' mouth-watering score is of such a high quality, rarely heard of in low budget films.

I can only thoroughly recommend this thought-provoking film. Not only as an eye-opening way to spend ninety minutes, but also as a 'kick in the guts' social comment.

Oh and yes, it is also an inspiring example that first time film-makers everywhere CAN get their work sold and seen. Dare to dream!

The previous writer nailed it. This is far from a 5 star movie. It is just violence laced with a dash of social commentary to make the film maker feel better about himself

This is not a five star movie.....I HAVE NOT SEEN IT, But let's be serious here ..IT IS NOT "THE GODFATHER". I am sooooooooo tired of people giving reviews the highest rating to SELL DVDS. The previous "viewer" doesn't even give an opinion, they just simply state the storyline and give it a PERFECT rating. Spellcheck told me to insert a hyphen between story and line....I left it out on purpose....gaffer. Always wise to rent the horror movies first. ALWAYS.
