It looks like other reviewers here are probably involved with the film. I am not; I just watched it. This movie is the average slasher fare with a reality show spin on it. Even though the storyline is not so original, I still found the movie likeable all the way to the end. It has the cheesiness but doesn't look cheap, some humor, decent kill scenes, and good music scores. Slasher movie fans would particularly find this film entertaining.

I saw Killer Movie in a film festival a couple of months ago. It was so funny at times, and really creepy at others. The acting was great, and the characters were so interesting and multifaceted. The dialogue was witty and fresh, and Kaley Cuoco's one-liners had me laughing out loud. But even with all the humor, you never forget that you're watching a horror movie. The gory details are horrifying and the murders creative and original. I won't spoil anything, but it'll leave you thinking, "I never would have thought to kill someone like that." You really have to see for yourself. I strongly recommend this movie for any horror or comedy fan.

KILLER MOVIE is the silly, creepy, gory tale of documentary film-making gone horribly awry. We follow a film crew as they work on a doc about a small town's high school hockey team. Of course, there's a masked maniac at large, and people begin dying awful, squishy deaths. Said maniac is an interesting fellow, w/ his own unique take on reality TV. KM has gallons of blood and several dismemberments, yet manages to remain fun and interesting. The characters are solid, especially Kaley Cuoco (tv'S BIG BANG THEORY) as a total wench of an actress who gets a much needed attitude tune up by movie's end! So, if you enjoy comedic horror w/ extra sauce, KILLER MOVIE should slake that thirst...

A slasher gem for the new generation. A very good direct to dvd movie. I would kind of compare it to the scream movies just a little for its comedy moments but just your typical slasher movie, a good plot, good acting, and good kills. I would recommend it to slasher fans.

Killer Movie, as the title foreshadows, is an intelligent, witty mix of horror and satire. It's a movie within a movie, a dark and cuttingly humorous inside take on the world of reality TV, written and directed by Jeff Fisher, an actual reality TV director. The horror is especially chilling, and the humor rings particularly true, because the reality TV material is based on the director's real life reality TV experience. Thanks to the wicked, cutting edge, deliciously twisted imagination that inspired the script, you can't predict what's going to happen -- and that's what makes Killer Movie a truly refreshing departure from all those horror movie cliches that have already been done to death.

If you want a good suspensful horror movie then look no further than Killer Movie. This movie will keep you guessing and on the edge of your seat until the very last scene. This is a different type of horror movie as it is about a group of people making a documentary/reality tv show and things go really wrong in the process. This is a movie within a movie so thats pretty different than most movies today. There is some gore in the movie but it's not overly done which I like. There are also some funny parts in the movie so you get horror and comedy in the same movie. This movie has a great cast as well including Kaley Cuoco (8 Simple Rules and The Big Bang Theory), Jason London, Paul Wesley (The Vampire Diaries), JC Chasez (he makes a cameo), and so many more people.

If you are looking for a different movie then look no further than Killer Movie.

Killer Movie Typical horror/slasher movie. Fast paced and full of blood and gore. Paul Wesley made it all worth watching though.
Story line was a bit predictable but still a couple of twists in the end. Enjoyable.
Interviews with the cast (especially Paul Wesley), were the highlight.

I really liked this film. Characters you actually hate to see be killed off, really funny dialogue, and a self-awareness that manages to not come across as snide. No one is re-inventing the wheel here, but this is genuinely enjoyable b-movie fun, and not B because of acting or script. B because of budget. My only complaint is who they list as the lead actress, but no spoilers here!

Although billed as a slasher movie satire I didn't seen any satire while watching it. This aside, it's actually not a bad movie. I enjoyed watching what turned out to be a well-played tale about small-town murder involving the hapless members of a reality TV crew and their accompanying Z-list hopefuls.

Despite the routine scenario and, with one or two exceptions, a cast made up of actors who aren't particularly well-known, they all produced entertaining work from an only average script. Although Leighton Meester has done quite a lot of film work, the best known name in the cast is probably Kaley Cuoco, who maybe took this on as a useful addition to her résumé. What other admirers of Kaley's characters in 8 Simple Rules and The Big Bang Theory make of her portrayal in this movie of an unpleasant, somewhat desperate wannabe, struggling on the fringes of recognition in the acting business, isn't for me to say, but I think she's made a professional job of it. On the strength of this movie I'd like to see what she does with a much bigger budget thriller.

Recommended with beer and pizza. Quite acceptable for an evening in.

"Killer Movie" succeeds because of three elements that are sorely missing for the majority of horror films these days: thrills, titillation, and wit. This is a little gem. A long time ago in a galaxy not so far away, the slasher genre was a reliable source of entertainment. Sadly it has devolved into a breeding ground for the most shallow, talentless people in the film industry. It seems there is no room to make a movie that's actually, well, GOOD, just profitable. Every "creative" decision is borne from the desire to make money. And of course, throngs of people flock to the theaters and eat it up. Against such a grim backdrop, it is a cause for celebration when a movie like "Killer Movie" comes out. Here's a slasher film that adheres to all of the conventions of the genre without pandering to the lowest common denominator. Horror fans will love this, and I predict it will do extremely well commercially. The story is of personal relevance to its director (a former reality TV director), and the results are funny and scary, often at the same time. The director had previously worked on shows like The Simple Life and Real World, and it's easy to see how the experience affected him. I guess the best way to segue from reality TV into the film industry is to make a film about a reality TV show crew being MURDERED. "Killer Movie" is impressive and fun.
