theviperqueen This movie,is actually not bad,for what it is...a FICTIONAL version of the events. Many reviewers seemed to have been expecting real life,out of a fictional movie. Fine,that's their right&choice,but for the fictionalized movie that it is,it's really not too bad,if you don't go into it,expecting the true story...which it's not. 'Based on a true story,etc',does not always mean it is THE true story,or even the whole story,in some movies. The metal music is fitting though,since he was a satanist into metal/rock. I like movies for what they are,though&don't give a hoot about who directs them,etc. Many people are 'nitpickers',who LOVE to nitpick movies apart,rather than just try&enjoy them as they are. Whatever. I liked it pretty well,though it could have done without so much of the spazzy effects,in some parts&I would have liked more to be shown,in the kill/rape scenes,you know,to show how sadistic,violent&&terrifying he really was. No,the ending was not the real deal,not even close to what really happened,but then again...it is a fiction,loosely based on The Night Stalker,(Richard Ramirez)&his crimes,not a genuine true account of those events. If you know that going in,it might not be so bad. Give it a chance. (:

anxietyresister First, its nice to see a horror film that ably represents the Puerto Rican community. What a shame its so terrible. Far more funny than frightening, the killer seems to be a deranged My Chemical Romance fan who has violent delusions that he is Satan. He only murders females, and he likes a bit'o necrophilia after the event. YUCK. The black cop in charge brings in an ethnic gal in on the investigation to combat claims the department isn't 'inclusive' enough, but this little lady doesn't take any crap and refuses to be sidelined. But what will she do when the long-haired goth wannabe targets her? DUN DUN DUNNNNN..Advice to the director: shaking the camera up and down and putting a rubbish black metal song on in the background does not make a movie scary. Rather, the killer's manic fits and hallucinations that he sees the devil are portrayed so OTT you're be rolling on the floor laughing rather than cowering behind a cushion. You also get the usual clichés of the heroine's elderly partner and mentor in the force being killed, and even the compulsory scene of her having to hand over her gun and badge after messing up. The rampant unoriginality could be forgiven if the rest of the film were up to scratch, but alas it's so boring you'll be itching to turn off the disc and stare at TV static for 90 minutes.Not recommended, but the disc makes a nice coaster!! *Sips hot beverage* 2/10

shistboy There is no truth to be found in this movie, however, based on it that it may be. Only the acting by the movies two main characters is anything close to truth. Too bad the writing and directing strive for too much.This movie is a slasher with an odd twist (besides the "based on true story" riff raff), that is it shows a man hopping around too modern heavy metal dressed like demon in rocker's clothing. This is an insane devil man, so i guess that means the main character is too. He doesn't ever let his victims or us see his face because he has body-dysmorphic disorder. He needs a prostitute friend in the beginning then decides to kill her and everyone in the neighborhood while demon man hops around in his head as he smokes crack. Roselyn Sanchez plays the lead and her role is just as confusing as everyone else in the movie. She has a knack for finding the killer. Screws up in during her new promotion to homicide leaking clues on the TV news. And there is a scene where she gets the bad guy...the end.

Freya(sableOnBlond) the-real-roobeemoon This film , I had never heard of this film until just last night actually - when a friend gave it to me to watch...I didn't even read the description of it , so I had absolutely NO IDEA what I was to expect with it. All I looked at on the video case itself was the front cover and the movies' title....So , I pretty much was figuring that this was a HORROR film and I was also assuming this would not be a good contributor to that genre... Well , as it turns out , after watching , Oh - I'd say about the first 10 minutes of the film , which is actually the beginning of the film with the credits still rolling in , I did realize that this film was about Richard Ramirez , who was the night stalker /killer in various brutal and satanic murders. The only reason I clued in on that was because I was prior familiar with the dirtbag in general. I had seen a A&E TV special about his trial and how some fruitloop of a women had married him in prison while awaiting his death sentence for the crimes he had committed. I found this movie , well - not too disturbing - although I will not say it is not. The guy was a major drug fiend and obviously had HUGE mental issues. Basically blaming his crimes on Satan , "Satan made me do it" - type stuff. What a FREAK! And this film sure does a GREAT job at showing it's viewer just THAT. I didn't LOVE this film , but I will give it a big credit. Well done. Also , one last thing - this is not a horror film , this is a documentation film....Yep , yep , yepAnd with all of that , I'm out... PEACE
