Killer Therapy

...it really paints a terrible picture of getting help with mental issues. I get that the point is, that the system, an abusive family etc etc can make a person with the wrong genedisposition into even more of a psycho... and there are many ppl out there having no place in a psychjob, thinking they are gods, BUT: everything so severely onesided just doesnt sit right with me. i know what i am talking about when it comes to mental illness. the film sadly depicts any form of therapy and the illness itself very one sided. i know there are more countries with bad health care than with good ones, but nonetheless... maybe its to close to home, since i am involved in helping metally ill and suffer myself, still this movie made me sad. for all the wrong reasons.

So this is a badly made psychopathic killer flick. He has psychological problems as a kid and goes through 3 stages of being hospitalized and released. Each time he comes out killing again. Does this really happen? I certainly hope not but you do often hear of wackos being released and committing more crimes. But in this case, the guy just offs everyone. It just seemed really unbelievable and stupid to me. And the end was lame.

3/10

I actually regret watching this film and I don't know why anyone thinks it's great. I don't care that this guy's life is a mess, he's as crazy and cruel as he always was, and the producers didn't plan to get rid of him, which is so upsetting and offensive. I just hope we can see him suffer soon.

Its likely that after his second victim he would have been tried as an adult and they would have thrown away the key.

The idea that someone so deluded, and childish can commit a series of 1st degree murders and elude a life sentence is laughable, also all of his victims (except for the first one) seem to not have any survival instincts.

On the other hand some of things depicted do happen to children. Rape, Bullying, Problems at home, and metal illnesses can be the inducement for hard crimes.

P. S. I wanted him to die!!!! Because he had my name!!!!

This movie just kinda felt like it took concepts from "Joker", but the moral is a bit more diluted. Plus, Joker was actually a really good movie. There was more killing involved in this, and it seemed like it was more for the sake of chaos for a derranged psychopath than revenge. I'm not saying it was too dark for me because it wasn't (but it was very dark), but movies like this are why it really just urked me that so many people had their panties all in a knot about Joker. To them, this movie would be Joker on steroids.

I wasn't routing for the bad guy in this like I was with Joker. Only 1 or 2 of the victims really deserved death (and the one definitely did. You'll know which). Now you could say that about Joker too, but he killed a lot less people and for the sake of argument, The Joker is an actual supervillain character who is notorious for wreaking havoc. I feel that both movies were kinda trying paint the same picture, but Joker delivered the message much more tastefully. At the end of the day, I wasn't real impressed with this movie, but I didn't totally hate it.

Here is one of the reasons that I am having such a heavy emphasis on comparing this movie to Joker. The director walked himself into this one. The dude paints his face at the end in this movie, which made no sense. It was completely pointless and added nothing to the character or the story's conclusion. He's not The Joker, nor was he a clown, a comedian, a mime, or anything that would justify the act of applying the face paint. Maybe they threw that in there as a tribute to Joker (although this guy honestly looked more like someone who was very, very drunk on halloween and couldn't decide if he wanted to be Heath Ledger's Joker or The Crow). I personally thought that part was stupid. I don't know what they were going for there, but it was way out of place in the movie.
