Rent Killer Bitch (2010)

I managed less than 5 minutes... How anyone thought this was fit for release is beyond me - Killer Bitch review by TB

In my life so far, I've seen some terrible films. Amusingly enough, major Hollywood stars make up a large number of them: Robert De Niro (Dirty Grandpa,) Helen Mirren (Shadowboxer,) Brad Pitt (Killing Them Softly,) Mark Wahlberg (Mile 22) and Leonardo De Caprio (Blood Diamond.) Some of them had terrible stories, disgusting content or revelled in exploiting trauma for shock value. All of them I hate. However, the one thing that unites all of them is that they are competently made, even if the finished product is abysmal.

But occasionally you see a film which is not only atrocious & vile, but has such poor production values you are staggered the director wanted anyone else to see it. But Liam Galvin either doesn't care or genuinely believes he has created something great.

As I said, I managed less than 5 minutes. A terrible song starts playing as the film begins. We then watch a load of gangsters attacking & killing people in various unpleasant ways, with no emotion or even effort other than the classic frown & shouted dialogue. This is intercut with a woman enthusiastically having actual sex with another gangster in a dingy warehouse (the woman is blatantly a porn star; the man either a fellow porn actor or an extra who is both an exhibitionist & lucked out with this role...) Then, as the film reaches the climax (in every sense of the word) of the opening, this woman then pulls out a massive knife & literally butchers this guy, in graphic close-ups, whilst the camera fetishizers this.

With that, I picked up the remote, turned it off and then felt like I needed to have a shower, to get rid of the horror I'd just endured. This isn't a film, it's just an exercise in disgusting images being vomited out on a screen. I'm just staggered that anyone put up a single dime to get it made.
