Flawed but interesting - Homicidal review by LC
This is a flawed but very interesting horror/thriller. On the downside, it's clearly too derivative of 'Psycho', some of the acting is pretty wooden, and the film drags a bit in the middle, where the pace drops and we get a lot of exposition. On the positive side, despite a clearly limited budget there are some nice directorial touches here - the opening few minutes are great, and it's got a really audacious twist towards the end. Not a 'great' film, but definitely deserving a watch if you are a fan of the genre.
