This to me is just an awful depiction of a real life horrible murderer. I did not feel I was watching a story that explained what really happened, instead I felt I was watching a triple z -rated made-up story horror film - yes it's that bad.
The actors were fine to me - I do not have any beef with them. It was the story and the way it was filmed that got to me. Just to much focus on a satanic-cult that David (Son of Sam) keep envisioning and crap like that.
First of all, police are still doubting the claim of a satanic-cult involved. Even if there was one involved, how it was depicted in this film was just wrong - I felt the way it was shown was just wrong. It was like a horrible fictional cheesy triple z-rated film.
Secondly, I didn't like the 'distorted' look as we saw what David saw... (When David saw his victims it looked like some type of a cheap distorted effects).
Third, The priest at the end - looking more like a cheap rip-off of The Exorcist than a realist priest helping David.
This version of "Son of Sam" is a triple z-rated horror film instead of a film that tells us the story of what really happen. The true life story of what happened was horrible - there was no need to ham-it-up and make the real life horror into some cheap story.
I'm sorry - I hate giving bad reviews - but this film really is an awful depiction of a real life horror story.
I would give this film a 1 - but I will give it one extra point for the actors... they were not the problem with the film.
2/10
