Michael Ledo The film builds the story using headlines. Henry Lee Bishop (Peter Fonda) is a convicted necrophiliac serial killer. There is a copy cat killer. The story of the killings awkwardly unfolds after the fact as Detective Starks (Terrence Howard) is questioning Bishop about the copycat killings.Bishop's old house is owned by "House of Bodies" an Internet web site that specializes in recreating the killings as snuff porn for paying customers. The film subplots on Kelli (Alexz Johnson) a shy college girl who needs cash, but hasn't come to terms with nudity. She meets Kyle (Harry Zittel) on line, a shy mute.Once the first clue hit the table, the film lost its mystery appeal as a who dun it. In fact I didn't care, I just wanted to see Kelli after all the tease and hype. The production had the makings of a good plot, but ruined it by making a boring film. They could have left out the interrogation and just made it a copy cat killing with less camera shy girls.Parental Guide: F-bombs. No real sex. Rear and photo nudity.
Seth_Rogue_One Terrence Howard and Peter Fonda's scenes in the movie is basically one very long interrogation scene split up to parts.A fairly pointless one may I add as well, where Terrence Howard plays a cop who's interrogating a serial killer played by Peter Fonda about a copycat of his.It's obvious that all their scenes where shot on the same day in the same location, and that they both did it for the money, and that the producers needed some stars in the movie to attract viewers, and that's the sole reason why they are in the movie.They aren't bad per se, but if they weren't famous their scenes would have been cut down to a couple minutes, or cut out entirely, hell they'd probably wouldn't have been filmed in the first place to be honest.The rest of the movie is about the 'House Of Bodies' which is not a haunted place even if that's what it sounds like but a website with 'web-cam-girls' in a apartment complex re-enact murders.It's really slow, and riddled with plot-holes, and the only reason I didn't absolutely hate it was because one of the web-cam-girls forms a friendship with one of her clients who happen to be a mute.But yeah the rest of the movie is a tiring peace of work, with overall annoying characters and pointless scenes of people clicking on websites etc etc.Queen Latifah steps by in a web-chat as a counselor or something to the mute young man, but that's about it.
colonel52 OK I watched this and it is a really boring and bad movie. the cast was OK, some OK acting, but the script and story were lame. Terrence Howard spends the whole movie talking to peter Fonda in a interrogation room. All this does is after a long time tells who the killer actually is.I gave this movie one star for the cute blonde who sort of has the main role. She made the movie a little interesting. The deaf guy who she makes friends with online was OK till things go bad and then he acts like a retard. The killer is someone who used to live in this house and now shows up out of nowhere to kill all in the house very leisurely. Everyone today has a cell phone, but not these kids? so even when 2 of the girl realize a killer is in the house , 1 hides, and the other try to sneak out. also they are running a sex fantasy website to pay the rent on the house. the movie would have been better without Fonda and Terrence, and just make it all about the house. Bad Director and bad story overall.
suite92 Henry Lee Bishop is on death row for a series of grisly murders. Years later, he's still in jail, solitary mostly, and similar murders happen. Detective Starks investigates, including going to the prison to talk to Bishop eyeball to eyeball.A bunch of young idiots run a simulated-sex-and-murder-reenacted-over-Internet sort of business. They strive for realism. They fake each other out. It seems the director intends that we don't know what is real or not with this group.A deaf, speechless young man plays video games and visits gory websites. One of these is 'House of Bodies' which supposedly was inspired by Henry Lee Bishop's place of residence. This is the website of the idiots mentioned above. In each room the young women re-enact murders committed there. Our young man reads all this on the site. That's the site's marketing ploy.That's what the detectives are not seeing: the website seems to have generated at least one copycat killer. Tracey runs the house and the site. Kelli is the new recruit who is a bit gun shy. Tisha is more accustomed to the work. Sadey left the job before she was murdered.The deaf boy logs into the site, and Tracey assigns him to Kelli to talk to. They get to know each other a bit. Sadly, the killer comes in, then starts taking out the staff.So, who gets out of this alive?-----Scores-------Cinematography: 9/10 Usually excellent.Sound: 8/10 Usually quite good, but Terrence Howard was badly miked. AM radio in the desert sounds better. The incidental music was good for creepiness.Acting: 8/10 Worth seeing for the interactions between Terrence Howard and Peter Fonda.Screenplay: 8/10 Much better than I expected. Plot progresses well, and the detective solves a mystery.
