I just got the shocker....from the Scrapbook!! by Sasha Slaughter

Continuing with the shocking horror topic, Zombie Zane and I watched 'Scrapbook', directed by Eric Stanze. It came out in 2000 and is rated NC-17, which basically means rated X. It is about a derranged serial killer who makes his victims write about their ordeal in a scrapbook that he made before he kills them.

It starts off with a boy as he enters his sisters room and finds her almost naked. She invites him and makes him touch her and then tells him to lay on the bed while she touches him. She turns around and starts masturbating and then stops and starts messing with the boy again when she hears a voice and jumps off of the bed. Their brother comes in telling the boy not to fuck his sister and he grabs him and takes him to the living room where he rapes him. They don't show the rape, but it's pretty obvious whats happening. Fast forward some years later and the boy that was raped 'Leonard' is taking a dead body out of a van, with a live girl *Clara* still in the back. He ties the girl to a chair in his kitchen *which is disgusting by the way* He starts talking to her and rambling about a bunch of stuff. He takes his pants off *which he does alot in the movie* and takes the girl back into this filthy bedroom, handcuffs her to a bed *he has boxes of handcuffs all over the place...creepy* and rapes her until she bleeds, which they show and it's very disturbing. After thats over, he has her at the kitchen table, telling her about the first time he killed someone, and telling her about the scrapbook.

He tells her to write in the scrapbook and she writes that he has a small dong and he's a loser and a piece of shit. That infuriates him so he takes her outside, stuffs her into a garbage can, pours a gallon of milk on her, duct tapes the lid shut, and leaves the garbage can in the hot sun. After a while, he finally lets her out. A guy in a red truck comes by his house to ask if he can use Leonards barn and he beats the hell out of him, cuts off his hand and locks him in a closet. Clara climbs into the other closet in the room to hide. Leonard comes to the door and starts going on and on about a hooker and her period...it's really gross. And he leaves for a while. Clara tries to escape but finds out there is a padlock on the door, but it isn't locked so she gets a wire hanger and takes the padlock off of the door. She finds that there is another lock on the door, but she's able to break the door down and she runs out of the house and into the barn. Leonard is on his way back and he sees her running into the barn and follows her.

Clara tries to find a way out of the barn while Leonard is looking for her with an axe. She goes into a room and hides behind a door, but under the door he can see her toes, so he cuts them off with the axe. After she wraps her foot, she tries to get away again but he catches her. He takes her into the bathroom and handcuffs her to the showerhead and videotapes himself pouring soap into her mouth and threatening to cut her with a razor. He then takes her into the bedroom and starts to try to rape her, and either he's having boner problems or he's feeling extra psychotic that day because he rapes her with what looks like a wine bottle...that was rough.

He makes Clara watch the video he made in the bathroom while she reads the things that his other victims wrote in the scrapbook before he killed them. She gets the idea to write in the scrapbook that she understands Leonard and that she needs him. He reads it and it starts to get to him.Little does he know, that Clara is only mind boinking him. He keeps asking her to write in the scrapbook and she keeps writing that he's all she needs and he's starting to freak out and tells her that she's messing up the book.

Clara ties to seduce Leonard but he doesn't know what to do because he's used to raping girls instead of things being consensual. She duct tapes him to the bed like she's going to have sex with him, instead she takes a knife she finds on the floor and stabs the soles of both of his feet. She takes pictures of him and then smacks him in the head with the camera a few times before taking the scrapbook and leaving, with Leonard still duct taped to the bed.

OMIGOD!! This movie was mucho disturbing, and weirdly, thats what it takes to freak me out sometimes =). There was a good bit of nudity, pretty much everything from butt to dingus. There wasn't a whole lot of gore, I think sometimes the blood was a bit much for what was happening, and there were a few rape scenes which were kinda rough to watch. I think overall I'd give this movie a 3 out of 5 and a 4 out of 5 for shock value. I'll be honest, this movie definitley gave me the shocker!! Don't forget to read Zombie Zanes review of Scrapbook and you know the drill, check back next week for new stuff!!
