Dahmer vs. Gacy (2010)

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This movie tries to do a couple things, and fails at every one. It tries to be gory, And unless you find splattered Smuckers strawberry jam gory, it fails. It tries to be hip and ironically funny, the "so stupid it's funny" cult flick. It fails at this more miserably than anything else. The acting is bad, the direction....I don't even know what to say other than to ask if there was an actual director there every day, the production value would make high school digital media classes shake their heads in shame. FAIL FAIL FAIL. Do anything other than watch this movie, laundry, wash your hair, scrub the floors, repeatedly hit your temple with a ball peen hammer, ANYTHING other than watch this movie.

Well, this was the most badly made film that was oddly funny that I've seen since Postal. Dahmer and Gacy are cloned, break out, kill people, and a mad man sent by God hunts them down along with evil ninjas! This is a very cartoon like horror film, like a Japan splatter flick. Think a pretty tame version of robo-geisha.Only here, half the kills happen off screen and we simply hear about them in news reports. Ya, that was kind of odd. Felt like the makers of the film were trying to slam media and news in general. Well, I guess it is fair to nit pick current news, but when the smartest thing you can present for your own side of media is a girl screaming the f word for no less then ten minutes or Dahmer raping a guy to cheesy love music, you don't really have that much to complain about.You will get a few laughs, but all and all, this obviously is a very poor movie. Best part of the flick was God.I would suggest it for a dumb movie night with friends.

I didn't expect to be here reviewing this as a "10"! My expectations weren't low, but they weren't high either. It made a good bookend to my Gacy and Dahmer dvds I thought.Wow! In an age where anyone with a digital camera can make a movie this B-fest reminds me of the early John Waters or Peter Jackson. When you actually borrowed money for film to FILM a movie! I love low-budget B-movies, or I can... if the creators put their hearts into it. Like "Necropolis Awakened", where the creators played all the parts and did all of the camera-work! Or Neil Stryker in "Evil Cult" by Neil and Rob Taylor!Ford Austin just took this idea and went whole-hog with it, unabashed that the concept was both off-beat and offensive! If he'd tried to hold back or be pc, or 100% scientifically logical, he'd have fallen flat. Thank Zod he didn't! I laughed in the good way. The actors were great, Ford playing a duel role. Randal Malone's John Wayne Gacy came off as Divine's Babs Johnson re-incarnated and that's a GOOD thing! "That Guy" Art LaFleur is in it! Harland Williams is God! Bonnie Aarons has a new fan club member in me. Argh, I almost forgot to mention Ethan Phillips (from ST:Voyager)!I have never been this taken-in by a film since my first Waters days. It was too good to last, I half-expected it to fall apart at any time as I've been disappointed before. The dialogue kept coming faster and heavier and I expected the actors to get trapped under the weight of it all but Ford and Randall and Bonnie were at the top of their game, very impressive. Again for a low-budget films without all of the re-takes and dubbing and tricks to make things look flawless. Not once did I cringe when an actor opened their mouths. Great music, clever editing and a bit of fast-motion and even black & white tinting were superbly done.I put this up there with "Pink Flamingos", "Bad Taste", "Evil Dead" and I will follow Ford Austin's career wherever it goes. Hey, I love mainstream, I sing along with "The Sound of Music", I got teary-eyed at "Titanic" and I have the extended LOTR trilogies. I'm "normal". ;) I recommend this to my fellow film-fans.The End

Loved this movie. In the latest craze of slasher, slash, occult mania, this movie stands out with it's silly take on the genre.The director takes a comical approach that is very entertaining. Dahmer and Gacy are the two blood thirsty villains (at times literally), who spread fear and body parts throughout the movie. They escape from a genetic experimental center that had been tasked with bringing the most blood thirsty serial killers back to life. A fun and gory hour of mayhem follows.I watched the movie with a few friends and it is a lot of fun and appeals to a lot of tastes. It is so ridiculous that you have to watch it. 10 Stars!
