I Blame Society

Antisocial killers that murder on camera surly isn't a new trope (Hi Michael powell' Peeping Tom)

Here we get a young perky millennial named Gillian (a very game Gillian Wallace Horvath who also co-wrote the script) doing the dastardly deed and the result is, quite frankly, a nifty little feature, as far as I'm concerned.

I just wanted to do a quick writeup to hopefully convince any doubters, due to it low accumulated rating (4.2) that this is actually a pretty enjoyable and stinging comedy (in a dark and depraved sort of way)

Hope you like it.

I Blame Society: Filmmaker Gillian Wallace Horvat plays a crazed version of herself who gets fed up with scripts being rejected and studio double-dealing. She decides to use her skills to kil off all the hypocritical and annoying people she knows. Things get a bit Meta as she's making a faux-documentary about how good she would be as a serial killer. Some very dark scenes, you know this is black comedy and satire but it still cuts to the bone. Quite literally as she makes her murders look like suicide. She even dresses rooms as murder scenes as she breaks into homes. The chuckle may well die in your throats at times but this is well worth watching, Directed/Written by Gillian Wallace Horvat. 8/10.

Wanted to like it. However they tried to go the extra miles on some parts where they really shouldn't have, like adding in some really dumb effects in places where it would have been better without. The main plot just needed something extra. I get the main character was a bad person but they didn't really have any likable qualities for me to want to watch them and it didn't really feel like found footage either. I just wanted to the whole thing to be over. The end was just so lazy and predictable.

The fact that Gillian Wallace Horvat not only directed but also starred and wrote this movie is impressive in itself. Having it shot as if a real life documentary showing a filmmakers decline into madness was interesting and I liked the way it was done. The rest of the cast felt real as well and played the roles well. Its not a concept you see a lot in a horror, thriller film and I fell it can be shown in more films. Adding to this I found Gillian to be cute despite the whole serial killer thing. I look forword to seeing more of her work and acting talents in the future.

Really creative. I thought the film was had a dark humor that fit like a glove into the story. It could have been very indulgent if handled differently. But as it plays out the film ends up being self aware in a really original way. I recommend.
