Dirty Fears

I think it's an interesting movie. perversion and mental illness.

A nameless escaped mental patient takes control of a mountain motel and invites women up there under false pretenses. He terrorizes and plans to murder them. Much of this film is the crazy guy just being nutty. Sniffing shoes, terrorizing girls with a ax and stands around naked. One woman paints blacks marks on her face for some reason and she has that paint on heer face for the rest of the film. Not sure what that had to do with anything. Michael Madsen is the mental guys psychiatrist. Hurts to see him in this. Hes great in Reservoir Dogs and The Hateful Eight and now hes in this film. Thats a bummer. Also Eric Roberts shows up about a hour in. Hes trying but also its sad to see him in this.

I really, really hated this awful film. I mean wow. This is impressively awful. Its a new edition to my worst 100. Barely anything happens. Just a nutty guy guy and some tied up women. Its absolute junk.

Full plot: Several people get together in a group and spend all the time with the lights off and talk to themselves directly into the camera. That's it, entirely.

Could easily have been made with a $50 budget

No plot, no sense, sudden jumps from one gibberish scene to another, and bit parts by Michael Madsen and Eric Roberts, both of whom, I'm sure, are the victims in this scheme. They must have owed someone favors. There is no linear plot. One is dropped into the midst of stupidity and just as quickly yanked out of it at film's end. I'm not sure what the hell they spent $400k on, but it certainly wasn't props or effects. Give this one a miss! /rant

It's rare to see such a great cast in such a strange movie. A must watch, definitely. In some scenes I had the feeling that actors were improvising, not bad. One might like it or hate it, no middle way.
