The Killer Inside Me

The best part about seeing a bad movie is getting to write about it afterward. This "overly controversial" film has been banned in the US because of its violent and mature content. It surprises me that they show it here considering that in London The Globe Theatre won't show Romeo and Juliet because of a sword fight.

Let me start off by saying, I am NOT a fan of scary movies...or anything remotely disturbing. For example, the first Lord of the Rings movie scared me. However, this movie, about a crazed killer, will not force me to lose any sleep. Casey Affleck, a supposed Texan crazy sheriff, had one of the worst performances I've seen in a while. Not only was his "southern drawl" more annoying than Taylor Swift's voice in Valentine's Day, but his character lacked depth and an easy to understand background. From what I gathered his mother encouraged him to touch her inappropriately and provided him with nude photos, he molested a little girl as a little boy and his foster brother took the blame, and if you were in love with him, it didn't matter if he beat you to a bloody pulp, you would still love him.

The movie mostly relied on its sensational effect to move the storyline, which was a bad plan. They plot basically consisted of three parts: 1) Bad Casey Affleck voice-overs, 2)Sex scenes, 3) Casey Affleck killing anyone he was alone with.
