Editorial Reviews

What would happen if Ed Gein or Ted Bundy were to have children and raise them to follow in their bloody footsteps? KatieBird Wilkens brought to life with unnerving depth and believability by horror veteran Helene Udy (My Bloody Valentine) explores this very question in a chilling and graphic testimony of family tradition emotional confusion and complete insanity. Crisp stylish imagery and a wild original score come together tell the unforgettable story of a certifiably crazy cast of characters!

1.0 out of 5 stars Please stop the split screen shots!, November 12, 2006

This review is from: KatieBird*Certifiable Crazy Person (DVD)

Looks like someone showed the director how to do split screen and partial screen shots on his computer, and he went absolutely nuts. The WHOLE movie is presented in this manner. It becomes very distracting, it's hard to emerse yourself in a story when you are constantly reminded that you are watching a film due to the overuse of a particual technique. That alone pretty much ruined the film for me. I guess you have to do something to cover up for a poorly written, shot and directed mess. Oh, and the music sucks too, unless you like guitar notes and chords held into lengthy sustained feedback. Gave me a headache.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh My God This Movie is Insane!, March 16, 2006

This review is from: KatieBird*Certifiable Crazy Person (DVD)

I saw a bunch of great reviews for this movie all over the web and read about it in Fangoria and was very curious to check it out. This movie is awesome! If you like serial killer movies, if you like lots of gore that will make you cringe (including some teeth pulling scenes that are way more intense than Marathon Man...man, it'll be a long time before I go to a dentist) but most importantly if you like movies with substance, a plot and great cinematography this is the movie for you. Most horror movies these days are so formulaic - this one really is different. A truly unique, yet completely insance, film. I can't wait for the sequel!

This review is from: KatieBird*Certifiable Crazy Person (DVD)

Writer/director Justin Paul Ritter gives us truly artful film filled with interesting characters, he doesn't shy away from style or violence. The acting in KatieBird was just spectacular, there's not a thing I can say about the acting. Ritter delivers big budget acting in a low budget film. I was especially impressed with Lee Perkins performance. He had this very low key Midwestern feel that's just hard to explain. Taylor M. Dooley also gave her all and was truly an interesting character, as did Helene Udy. Both women have created a terrifying character. Gorehounds take note, the torture and special FX were also done extremely well. This film is certainly not for the casual viewer. KatieBird is an unflinching look into the creation of a serial killer and her downward spiral of self-destruction. To say this film is nihilistic would be an understatement.

Heretic Films DVD release is phenomenal. It's packed with extras, comes packaged in a foil embossed slipcase and the first run of DVDs even include a free CD soundtrack! If you're a serial killer cinema fan you need to buy this; this is one of those "buy before watching" kinds of cinema. Don't expect to see this on cable anytime soon. Justin Paul Ritter is a force to be reckoned with. Not only has the man proven he can make a movie but he can undoubtedly make monsters. This comes highly recommended!
