Best Psycho Slasher Movie Ever!

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2005)

I don't usually give movies of any kind ten stars, particularly the slasher send-ups; I will gladly make an exception in the case of "Saw". Up until now, "Candyman II: Farewell to the Flesh", was my fave, but this offering beats it hook, line, sinker, pole, fisherman and the ding-dong boat--which is probably a mixed metaphor, but I just got done watching this thing, and I'm still not down enough yet to be overly rational.
Not only are the murder situations schizophrenic enough to make me glad that the kid that wrote it lives in Australia (at least, I hope he still does), but plotwise it had more twists than an India rubber man making love to a Circe du Soleil contortionist with a copy of the "Kama Sutra" nearby for reference. And without a doubt it has the best "surprise ending" since "The Sixth Sense". The only reason I can imagine that more has not been made of this little depraved effort is the deep-seated prejudice that most "mainstream" (read: stupid) critics have against horror.
Ten Stars! Ten Stars! Ten Stars!
