2.0 out of 5 stars A "thriller" you'll see it coming a mile away..., June 21, 2009

This review is from: Kemper (DVD)

Ed Kemper (Robert Sisko), an oddball, 40-something recluse who lives with his mother, has serious insight when it comes to solving crimes. Picture a bad Harvey Keitel impersonator with significantly less passion, mixed with an insane person who loves to hear himself speak. His mother is a foul-mouthed, chain-smoking, horror movie-watching wench who thinks her son is a waste of life. Ed teams up with a detective named Tom to solve a recent rash of murdered young women.

Aside from Sisko's performance, this movie pretty much stinks. Sisko is compelling as a twisted, jaded mind who suffers from a deep-seeded history of abuse. He appears to believe his ramblings, and without his character, Tom is as worthless as an elevator in an outhouse.

Some aspects of this film are so rehashed that I'd call it plagiarism. And the others are so hackneyed that they are comical at times. The worst part, however, is that every scene transition feels like one from a drama on Telemundo:

Character #1: Dramatic line
Character #2: Incredibly obvious, not so dramatic attempt at a dramatic reply
"Spooky" music: Duh duh duh duuuuuuuh

Given that the major clue in cracking the case ends up being a collage, it's fitting that this movie is essentially a collage of several, better made horror movies. It's the abusive mother and insane son relationship of Psycho, the detectives who use classic literature to solve the crimes of a self-delusional madman of Se7en, and the helpful non-police force assistant to local detectives of The Bone Collector.

This is a definite low-ball, B-level suspense thriller. It's not that interesting or original, and I'd recommend passing it by for several of the other worthwhile selections in the Walmart five dollar bin.

This review is from: Kemper (DVD)

Kemper was a psycho killer who beheaded collage girls, had sex with their bodies and cut them open and played with their inards. This crap movie makes him seem like an intellectual person with issues.

Besides the horrible acting and directing, this movie has zero to do with the real killer Edward Kemper. Do not bother wasting your money on this.
