Not just an analysis or a rather gruesome murder, but a wider look at the social context of the times and the role of the detective in fact and in fiction.

Personally, I enjoyed this, but thought The Wicked Boy by the same author was even better.

This one on Netflix surprised me! The acting was good(Patrick Stewart as a villain!) and the cinematography was well done. The story played out well but had quite a few gruesome scenes(not for the kiddies). Overall this movie was well made and is definitely worth a watch!

Funny Comedy Horror
A very gory and funny horror comedy. For a low budget the gore effects are good, gruesome and it's generally quite funny most of the time. You'll never think of sheep the same way again! If you liked Shaun of the Dead give this a go.

"This is my most wanted Criterion Blu-ray upgrade (pretty please!!!). A gruesome yet hilarious mockumentary about a serial killer and the film crew that slowly crosses the line from reel to real with him. Picture David Brent from The Office starring in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer."

A New Type of Disaster Movie
It all seems normal, until people start killing themselves - some in truly gruesome ways. Nobody knows how or why, simply that it's airborne and it's spreading fast. An interesting and original take on a disaster movie, I liked it.
