Fantom kiler 2

The Fantom Kiler series really seems to divide opinions, (Then again so does Harry Potter). I preferred Fantom Kiler 1 to Fantom Kiler 2 (Slightly) - even though the sequel has some strong scenes. This is not a film aimed at hard gore fanatics, it is much more than that. For me it works as an erotic giallo-esque fantasy and has some nice photography, great looking women (who take their clothes off ... A LOT) and some brilliant soundtrack themes (I event bought the CD). I can't wait for number 3 to come out on DVD.

Some people say that Fantom Kiler has no plot. Well if the tale about a misogynistic hatred being manifest into a monster that does it's creator bidding is no plot then what plot has Friday the 13th? I think the idea is pretty original, but maybe too subtle for most teenage gorehounds to grasp, I fear. This is a a film for more mature audiences who appreciate the finer things in film making.

Bring on Fantom Kiler 4!!!

These movies will always remain a mystery to me. I have no idea what they are supposed to be and what genre to place them in. It isn't horror, it isn't fantasy, it isn't porn...it's simply nothing.

This movie is almost entirely the same as its first predecessor. It also got made by the same crew and even stars most of the same cast, even though everybody is playing a totally different role this time. So, it's a sequel that isn't expanding on the first movie. It's simply doing the same stuff all over again, including all of its many flaws.

This time around there is even less story, which makes the movie all the more annoying. Just like its predecessor it also keeps dragging on and on with all of its killings, that aren't even enjoyable to watch for the lovers of gore and violence.

The movie remains easy on the eyes with its pleasant visual style, that for some part manages to conceal the movie its low budget. But the director himself also seems to be really in love with the visual style, since he is often overdoing it. The guy doesn't know when to stop, just like this movie-series doesn't know to stop. There are 4 movies out already and who knows, maybe we'll get even more in the future.

A big waste of time, even though it's a very short movie.

I prefer to watch a sexy horror movie than a low budget gorefest. Therefore I enjoyed this film. I don't want to give away the whole plot but it is more than just your typical serial killer type tale. It is the kind of film I have been looking for for a long time and thought would not exist. Sexy Eurpoean ladies, extreme situations, stylish, great music from Frank Cossack. Maybe it is slow in places but its still worth the purchase (nice cover too). Imaginative and very erotic....I can think of no other film like this for style and content. If you are looking for a bloody gorefest then go somewhere else I say....but appreciate that this is in a league of its own.

We move one year further in the story of the Fantom Kiler. When two cops discover a girl tied naked in a truck they knew for sure, the killer is back. From there we go into the movie which looks more low budget then the first one. The sound is of course back Polish but it's dubbed this time. I mean, it's full of Polish actors but they dubbed in their voice after wards.

The first scene we do have a lot of talking going on between a hooker and a cop. The hooker is a witness of a killing and the cop decide that a police officer should become a whore too. That's already a whole difference from the original Fantom Kiler. It's also easy to spot it's all done in a studio. Even the scene's in the woods. The score used is the same as in part one. But it's way more boring then part 1. The waiting for the kiler involves a lot of talking between the cop and the infiltrated cop. Naturally when the killer arrives she strips all the way. But from then on it's extremely slow. Even the close-up of masturbation is rather boring. And guess what, wrong car so we do have a hot pursuit. No this isn't what I expected after the first part.

Again a lot of editing effects and special editing but the story itself it's so tame and doesn't make sense at all, just see the pursuit. the talking, too long, the electrocution of a hooker, too long. In fact this could be a 30 minute short it would be a lot better. But I guess the director would like to show us the use of editing in stead....

Gore 0/5 Nudity 3/5 Effects 0/5 Story 1/5 Comedy 0/5

More misogynistic filth from Poland, a sequel to a film which didn't require one in the first place - and get this, more sequels were to follow! Everything about this is exactly the same as the first one, from the dodgy eyeball closeups to the shaky camera angles and music. Even the sets are the same! The sequel isn't as shocking but it's still pretty unpleasant, unless the sight of naked women getting electrocuted and knifed to death sounds like your kind of thing (and if it does, you seriously need psychiatric help).

Once again, every female in the cast is reduced to a mere sex object, simply yet another victim for the villain (same villain as the first, no further substantial clues to his identity - this is more vague than the conspiracy arc from THE X-FILES!). The gore effects are tacky and the direction exploitative and cheap. Furthermore, it drags terribly and doesn't have a beginning, middle or an end. What more can I say? What a way for Poland to go into the new millennium...
