5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Hillarious!, May 15, 2000
By MHamernick@aol.com (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews
When this video arrived at my house, I took one look at the cover and thought, "OH JEEZE!" It looked terrible. Thankfully, you can't judge a video by its cover. My girlfriend and I were pleasantly surprised! If you're like us and appreciate dark humor, you'll love this film. In addition, as an art educator--with a good sense of humor--I especially enjoyed the way it pokes fun at the "art world." If you have ever worked in or around the arts, or are a patron of the arts you can't deny that there isn't plenty of laughs to go around. "The Death Artist" is a "must-see" for the art enthusiast and those who just enjoy a good laugh.

2.0 out of 5 stars Update of Corman Classic Has Few Moments, February 20, 2000
By Thomas Izaguirre "ratravarman" (Edgewater, MD United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This remake of "A Bucket of Blood," put in a modern 90s setting this time, is stylish and colorful but lacks the pacing and black humor that made the original such a classic. The casting is okay but the direction given to Anthony Michael Hall as Walter Paisley and Justine Bateman as love interest Carla leaves alot to be desired. What made Dick Miller's performance in the original work was the quirky charm and naivete he carried even as he descended into murder. Hall's Walter comes off as a dumb, malevolent jerk in grungewear. Turning the character of Carla into an aloof Italian Eurotrash fashion victim was also a bad move. None of the characters capture attention or sympathy except maybe in the pivotal part where a haughty loudmouth model pisses Walter off and sets the stage for his murderous art. At 85 minutes, it is almost twenty minutes longer than the original and it shows. Not bad, but not great either.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just an all around funny movie!, August 13, 2002
This film was hilarious! I know a handful of artists and some of them really do act like that! I laughed from beginning to end! Anthony Michael Hall gave a fantastic performance as Walter. The one way trip to insanity was well played by my favorite actor. You can't help but feel sorry for poor Walter. This film is dark, but delightful!! "I made them immortal.."
