The Movie:  Really liked this one.  Comparisons can go all around I don't care.  Henry:  Portrait of a Serial Killer style if I must choose a comparison.  Unoriginal?  Yeah ok.  No need here this movie is great for fans of extreme cinema and serial killer aka mass murderer movies.  Here we have Allen and his life.  Or "Day in the life" style movie which I love.  The movie basically follows Allen around as works as a dishwasher at the local greasy spoon and then after work when he goes on the hunt.  Allen struggles with his deep admiration for Denise the waitress as well as his addictions of booze and crack cocaine.  Thrown in his need for murder and we have quite the little bloodbath of realism. 

The Acting:  Every actor was on key.  Never once was I pulled out of the movie because of a failure in the acting department.  Mark Sanders was exceptional as our killer/narrator. 

The Gore:  Perfect.  Nothing else needs said.  The fx were stomach churningly real.

The Script:  Loved the way this story was told.  A very unsure of himself murderer named Allen and his dealings with co-workers, neighbors, hookers, drug dealers, etc.  Just as I said, "A day in the life," style filmmaking. 

The Rating:  Sorry it's not a pristine budget of a film and not all need to be obviously as is the case here.  5 Stars I'll be rewatching.
