4.0 out of 5 stars Keep it in the family . . ., February 24, 2008
This review is from: Born Killers (DVD)
Not bad at all - although not necessarily riveting, it does keep your interest. Father, Brothers, Daughters UNITE in killing whatever your fancy! A lovely and twisted ending - this will stay in the collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disturbing, March 28, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Born Killers (Amazon Instant Video)
The title suggests the killer characters are born. These are sick people My interpretation of the theme was that these particular killers were made; a product of nurture or lack thereof.

One key scene involves a child who is left alone in a car in store parking lot. The scene shows one of the killers leaving a knife stabbed in a seat headrest of the vehicle along with a polaroid picture of the child whom was in the vehicle left unattended by the parent. Warning to the parent they need to be more attentive to their child and less selfish about their own interests.

Another scene shows a parent yelling at a child for doing something that doesn't warrant being yelled at.

Both of these children are being damaged psychologically. They won't necessarily grow up to be killers but these scenes support the main theme that the 2 main characters who are brothers were horribly abused growing up and subsequently grew up to be dangerous, antisocial animals. This doesn't excuse their behavior but offers a suggestion as to how they ended up as they did.

4.0 out of 5 stars BORN KILLERS, not Natural Born Killers, August 1, 2008
This review is from: Born Killers (DVD)
This movie is so often compate to, and accused as a rip off to Natural Born Killers. These are two complete diffeent novies, style of filiming, plot, everything. This one is deeper, and has far nore taboo style plot. Two brothers are raised by their Mom, while Dad, a total psychopath, floats in and out. He stays around after Mom dies, and galavants showing his sons ultimate sociopathic, lessons in life, and disappears again after sine years, Turns out they have a illigitamit sister, who has the same personaliy bu hides it far better. From there the twists come fast with an incetual relationship at the center of realistic seedy behavior.
