Killer Body Count

The camera work and most of the acting is fine. There are certainly issues with budget and location. Part of it is due to the typical troupes used in modern feminist writings in full display here:

Church bad Church has conversion camps Men are horny, selfish, and inadequate Orgasms and sex are empowerment Men and religion keep us from experiencing our pleasure and full sexual experience Only through women can we be fully realized as a person

Yadda yadda blah blah blah.

It tries to be funny but it's not. It tries to make statements about society, but they're so hamfisted and typical that you groan. It has good gore. The writing is typical modern clichés that would only be entertaining to people who isolate themselves and avoid human interaction.

Directing and editing killed this movie.

The pacing of the movie is completely off for a teen slasher, dialog between characters take forever; long pauses and slow interactions, this coupled with 10sec of close up face reactions at the end of every line.

The director & editor left NOTHING on the cutting room floor, every scene is extended to the limit, i.e: a car driving up to the gate; waiting for the gate to open, car drives up the path, comes out of the path and continuous on a round about... what the actual f$#k are you thinking. Are you just trying to extended the duration of your movie for the heck of it!? Is this YouTube? Are your trying to monetize ads? Lol.

Forget the amateurish acting, the acting is passable. Just no stars were created or found on this movie, believe me.

For those looking for a decent lightweight horror movie, this fits the bill.

The basic idea is to put teens in the woods to stop them from having sex, and then introduce the serial killer. Suffice it to say that the plan doesn't work but it does allow for some interesting anti-religious strikes.

The kills are actually pretty good, there is some decent character development even with the antagonists, and the plot is sort of solid. The plot twist actually works. Better yet, with one or two exceptions, the teens actually look like teens.

What makes this movie stand out is that there is no female nudity (it's only suggested and only a couple of times do you see scantily women) but almost every male character is nude or partially nude, and there are even some scenes where the men are presented as beefcake.

This is one of those movies that try to trick you into watching it.

It promised 1980s style slasher fun, with some sly comedy. It delivered neither.

This movie does have a slightly hidden agenda.

Slightly anti religious, slightly anti male, and obviously aimed at a certain female demographic.

It has a few cute allusions to older, classic horror movies (Phantasm) but it's really just a boring movie with a few PC messages in it, probably written by bitter women.

It has a slight, undeveloped twist at the end, that may have been able to move my rating up a bit, but it went nowhere.

If the movie was scary or funny, I wouldnt mind the messaging. But, no. Just a slow, ludicrous, unsatisfying waste of time. 2/10.

*Killer Body Count* is like a rollercoaster designed by Alfred Hitchcock, reassembled by Quentin Tarantino, and occasionally hijacked by a teenage boy with a Playboy subscription. It's stylish, darkly funny, and full of twists sharp enough to require a tetanus shot. While it occasionally veers off track, it's undeniably entertaining-like a lurid tabloid that you hate yourself for reading but can't put down.

The plot, a tangled web of misdirection, sex, and murder, is as satisfying as unearthing a juicy Agatha Christie twist. The red herrings are well-placed, and the comedy sneaks up on you like a killer in the shadows, often providing relief from the film's more gratuitous scenes of sweaty titillation. Speaking of which, the sexploitation elements sometimes feel like they wandered in from a *Basic Instinct* reboot nobody asked for, but hey, they'll keep someone entertained.

The cast delivers above-average performances, with a wry charm that keeps things from collapsing under their own melodrama. It's not horror, nor does it need to be-it's a dark psychological thriller with a visceral flair and mischievous smirk. For all its flaws, it's worth a watch if you're in the mood for noir-ish fun with a slightly unbuttoned collar.
