Featured reviews
Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. Terrible acting marred by long and tedious voice overs, cheap and shoddy camera-work and distracting and melodramatic sounds effects. Even the opening credits looked cheap and nasty. Its amazing how such a bad movie can be made about what is such a potentially interesting story. The only consolation was reading the very humorous reviews by other disappointed users on this site.
The movie could be a case study for aspiring actors and directors on how not to make a movie. It is so bad in every conceivable way that its a masterpiece of badness.

This movie was full of clichés, horrible acting and cheesy dialogue. How can you make the DC Sniper story boring? Before I watched this, I wouldn't think it would be possible. The camera work was very low quality and shaky. The confessionals between the characters and a camera were almost humorous and the voice over work of the federal agent was unneeded. Why was it important to know about his run away daughter and her venture into online pornography? I'm telling you... I don't know how anyone can say they enjoyed this movie. It was unfocused, poorly written and simply corny. I would expect this at film school.
This film is god awful I like violent movies but god the way this was shot the scripting everything was just god awful I couldn't watch this film all the way through the endless rambling of the dad the victims getting shot was horrible not cause they died but the special fx blood etc all was just terrible the acting worst I've ever seen except for ken foree who was moderate but oh god this movie is just terrible I for one am not a person who hates bad acting like b movie acting but this this was like something filmed for a school project it's so bad words can't describe it I know there's other D. C Sniper movies out there that are probably way better then this one.
P. S don't waste your time with this one no wonder it's on free streaming services.

I want my 92 Minutes back.
I got a copy of this movie after reading the post from broder-james, who made this movie seem like all it isn't.
This movie was sub B-grade, dreary and dull. The acting was repetitive, hesitant and very unbelievable. Constant theme park ghost train music really spoiled the flow of this movie which by the way, seemed like a cross between a documentary and very poorly acted sniping scenes. It seemed like the actors forgot their lines before every scene.
I was not immersed in a story about a serial killer, yet left wanting, wanting a better version of this movie.
I would rather have spent my time strapped to a bed of nails, with heavy-set midgets using me as a trampoline.
In my opinion, if you like movies, this is one to miss. Extremely disappointed.

The most surprising thing about this amateur effort re-telling the true story of the Washington, D.C. shootings that were perpetrated by a guy shooting out of the tail light of his adapted car is that it was directed by Polish director Ulli Lommel, the guy who brought us THE TENDERNESS OF THE WOLVES and THE BOGEY MAN all those years ago. I had no idea that he was still working (or even still alive) and reduced to making straight-to-DVD junk these days.
The ONLY - and I mean ONLY - good thing about this film is Ken Foree, one-time star of DAWN OF THE DEAD. Foree plays the main villain of the piece and around half the running time is made up of him ranting to the camera about various facets and flaws of modern society. Sadly, the script is atrocious so a lot of what he's coming out with is absolute nonsense, but Foree is still good value and the only reason I bothered watching this rubbish to the end.
Sadly, everything around him is terrible: the supporting cast of non-actors are wooden beyond belief (including the director himself in an unwise acting role) and the direction is amateur. The various kill scenes, although gory, are robbed of any suspense or shock value thanks to the poor way in which they're conceived and shot. D.C. SNIPER isn't the worst film I've ever seen, but it's certainly very close to the bottom of the scale.
