Very nice directed snorefest

Rating: 1/10 (9 June 2007)

I've seen this movie 2 times, both on TV. The first time I saw this movie, I changed the channel because I couldn't watch this longer then 20 minutes or so. And thats rare, considering I can probably watch the entire LOTR-trilogy without moving a muscle...
The murder-scenes and some of the dialogues (usually before the killing happens) are good though, but its sad that thats just about the only thing I can find entertaining about this movie, especially for a self-proclaimed "horror"-movie. So basically, if you like horror-movies, skip this movie, because the horror-elements are very rare in this flick.
Also, what is it that people find so funny about this movie...? The only thing that brought a minor smile to my face was the infamous naked chainsaw-chase, but thats it. Maybe its not my kind of humour while others are laughing out loud watching Bateman rant on about 80's pop-music...
Overall this is a nice directed movie, and unusually light and colourfull for a movie about a 'psycho'. But its a shame the writers didn't put any more inspiration and twists in this movie. Now its just a 2 hour snorefest with a few notable dialogues.
Maybe I'm one of those people who "just don't get it", but I expect a little more entertainment from a 2 hour movie.
Note for anyone into extreme metal: the Swedish black metal band Shining used one of the dialogues in they'r song "Claws Of Perdition" from the album "The Eerie Cold".
