Ink~ hm, this was an odd one. There are two sides who come out when we sleep. Those who gives us good dreams(storytellers) and those that gives us nightmares(the Incubi).. Ink is a incubi who kidnaps a little girl and takes her.. soul? over to the other side. The storytellers fight to get her back.

It was odd and beautiful at times and had me scratching my head at others. It looks good for the obvious limited budget, the plot was interesting and it was well acted. It is a strange, confusing movie but I enjoyed it and will definitely add it to my dvd collection.

Dahmer~ugh, what a waste of film this was. I do give it credit for not going all torture porn and being graphic for the sake of shock value but... it was missing something. It was boring and it seemed to be trying to make dahmer sympathetic.. uh, I dont think so. It was not a good movie at all.

I need to review this very soon.  It's in competition for my "weirdest movie of 2009."  Glad to hear you liked it; that gives me confidence I won't be wasting my time.

:hatred:
I loved this movie, which is why I watched it 4 times and gave it a 10/10 on IMBD. It's the only movie I can think of that tries to portray a real serial killer as a human being. Unlike other serial killer movies, this one is a drama and I love it because of that.

I haven't seen the movie but wasn't that the idea behind MONSTER (with Charlise Theron)?

As far as true-life serial killer movies go, the one about Ed Gein is the best I have seen by far.  I think it was just called ED GEIN.

:smile: Yeah, that too, but I like Dahmer more, maybe because I did much internet research on him.

Monster was about the female seriel killer Aileen Wornous(sp)..I was living in FL at the time of her killing spree and it was big news. This is another one that they tried to make sympathatic. I get it, she had a rough life, that hardly excuses what she did. Thats the problem with too many real life crime movies, they try to find a reason for the behavior, try to make some sense out of it, some people are just bad

I CAN SEE YOU (2008): A neurotic, nearsighted photographer goes into the woods with his coworkers to get nature photos for an ad campaign, and his mind snaps when he falls in love with a hippy chick he meets at a bonfire.  If it sounds like a typical slasher movie setup, you couldn't be more wrong.  The first half is a tense drama, and then it turns into a horrifying acid trip on film when the guy's mind breaks.  There's a creepy ad spokesman played by Larry Fessenden (who looked just like Mr. Belding from "Saved by the Bell" with a toupee), lots of psychedelic montages, and even a musical number.  The film it reminded me of most was CALVAIRE.  Not for everyone, but if your willing to try something different in the horror genre and are willing to wait through the slow setup it pays off.  I have a long review up at my site (it's live but I'm still revising it).  3.5/5.
