Killers

source: Killers

I don't wanna go much into the story, just my thoughts of the movie short. Killers is an amazing thriller/horror movie about 2 brothers who escape death row and hoping to find shelter by a true American family that is trying to achieve and live the American dream. As soon the two brothers bust in and kidnap the family things start to go wrong, it go's all wrong, sometimes in movies things go wrong, but in Killers things go really wrong. A great atmosphere, lots of tense and some disturbing moments make Killers a very good film with a surprising twist. Somehow maybe underrated or misunderstood i think,..

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this film too. I bought it in a bargain store today....£1 and was one of the best pounds I've ever spent. Well worth wasting away an hour or so. Almost gave up at first as one of the characters is a little irritating but I stuck with it. Some of the cinematography is excellent and it became something completely unexpected and fun in a bizarre and twisted way. It's the sort of film that you feel doesn't really know exactly what it wants to be and yet it works either in spite or because of that and as a woman I was worryingly drawn to the two brothers. Even if you don't find this film in a bargain bin somewhere it would still be worth spending a few pounds on.

I thought it necessary to defend this movie from the mauling it was getting from reviewers it's just not that bad. It's cheap, violent and more than a little deranged but it is what it is. Yes the dialogue has regular intervals when the characters are talking tram tickets but once again what were you expecting Shakespeare. I am a fairly intellectual well grounded individual hence when I saw the cover and read the blurb I realised hmm this might not be the kind of mind expanding life changing piece of artistry that will provide fun for all the family. It is fun, with a well shot gritty artistry that works around the fact that this is done on a shoe string, yes the dialogue is occasional bad and often too wordy but there are times when It's just plain funny. It is very violent and it does revel in it but I think that a major part of the film, it is magnifying the fact that America is trying to keep cohesion in the family whilst reconciling a growing culture of violence (at least thats my view, I have been known to over think these things.) In short If your a gore hound switch your brain off enjoy the movie, ignore the faults its fun, if your a preacher watch free willy (a film only made good by micheal madsen smoking constantly throughout(watch the movie you'll understand))

1 out of 10 OK people, not all indie movies are cool, just because they're bad. And not all movies that most people think are bad, are just misunderstood and a secret masterpiece. Granted, there are such cases, but this is not one of them. The interesting twist that this movie COULD have HAD, totally failed. Although I think that the end of the first Resident Evil movie was inspired by the end of "Killers", or maybe "Killers" was just inspired by the Resident Evil videogames... In any case, if you want to add a comment to this movie, then watch it, otherwise: DON'T!

I have seen this film on my local video store shelf for years but never rented it until last night. I must say it is not what I was expecting, but I found it quite entertaining. It was one hell of a crazy trip, and every time I thought I knew what was going on there was another twist. I recommend it to those who loved the insanity of Natural Born Killers, or if you just want to try something different. Dave Larsen as Odessa displayed some great acting abilities and reminded me of Mickey Rourke back in his hay days, not to mention he looked bad ass with skeleton face make-up and wielding a shotgun. The acting by C.T. Miller as Mr. Ryan and Nanette Bianchi as Jami entertained the hell out of me, and I loved every minute of it. This movie had me cracking up from beginning to end, and was quite surprised by all the crazy twists. See this film........

I bought the uncut German Pal DVD of this movie as a blind buy a few months back. Looking back, I'm not sure why I purchased it - I rarely buy purely on instinct. I finally decided to watch it last night and was blown away - what an unexpected treat! I'm not going to give much away as it's one of those movies that's best viewed with little knowledge going in. What starts out as a "Desperate Hours"-style movie soon proves a much more interesting ride. This scores as my unexpected delight for the year. It's a low-budget gem. Some of the acting is "love it or hate it stuff" - the writer Dave Larsen plays Odessa James as a cross between Kiefer Sutherland and Mickey Rourke and I found some of his dialogue a little unintelligible - but, ultimately, I loved the cheesy charm of this film. It's also great looking - the film's scenes are bathed in a lovely blue light in the early scenes - very stylish. The DVD set is a 2 disc set but the second disc has only trailers and a German-language only short on it. Still, it's a great looking Disc 1 and worth the purchase price, IMHO.

This may have been the funniest movie I have ever seen. The over the top acting, the wacky directing and excessive abusive of a pencil to write this movie and make it seem "cool" make this movie hysterical. The laughter just rolls right off the tongue as character after character are shot to their own unique death. The cliques, the blood, the violence, the random use of zombies(?) and of course the most screwed up nuclear family make this movie an instant classic. I have watched this movie a hundred times and I still can't stop laughing. This movie is up there with other legendary movies like Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and The Godfather. Inna Gadda Da Vidda.

Who does this director want to be? Maybe Lynch, Scorcese, Hitchcok; I can't figure it out. He steals qualities from all three, but doesnt have the talent of any of them. However I must admit the movie is cool. It seems like the script writer got a little lost in the middle, like he couldn't figure out how to let it end. But otherwise it was your basic" supposed to be" thriller. The people in the cellar are a little out of place, and it is very low budget. But with what they had to work with it was worth a look. I give this one 4 stars out of 10, Not bad for a begiiner effort.

Spoiler!! rite first of all this film made no sense wat so ever, for instance the freaks in the dungeon, who where they? why where they their? why where they eating people. That just came from no where, why didnt it tell u the reasoning of why the family did this? why didnt it give u any backround on the ryans. Whatever happened to the lil girl at the end. What the hell was wrong with bob, i mean come on that just came from no where. A - bob had a chicks body b - why did he want kyles willy c - what was wrong with his face d - was he related to the family or did they just pick him up from a bin. Bob was annoying if anyone has info on bob aka chad sommers, let me know. i need info before i get so annoyed i just sit down forever. Why was everything always so dull and cloudy as well, why was he getting off with the cop chick, and the mum and daughter, did they not find this weird. AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO FOUND THIS MOVIE TO BE THE MOST ANNOYEST PIECE OF FOOTAGE I HAVE EVER SEEN. i cant express my hate for this movie in words, a punch in the face wud make more sense. my view on this movie its just one long smoking advertisment which shows that smoking may be cool but u will get shot for. i hope i never see this movie again, im gonna break it.
