IS THERE A KILLER INSIDE OF YOU? By: SASHA SLAUGHTER

Well hi there creepy blog stalkers! Are you still searching for gross stuff? Awesome! Now before I get to today's post, I have to say that peppermint mocha coffee creamer is the bees knees. I know! Nothing to do with horror, but I can say what I want! Half my blog, half my rules. Soooo, today I'll be telling you ass clowns (And I totally mean that in the nicest way possible) about a little movie called Kill Theory

I've seen the movie on Syfy, so you know they edit the shit out of that. So I decided to catch it on Netflix. Not a whole lot of difference between the two besides some cussing and a brief shot of tiny tata's. Kill Theory was written by Kelly Palmer and directed by Chris Moore. And here's a little more info for you, Kill Theory was a part of After Dark Films Horror Fest: 8 Films To Die For. Yay! So let me tell you a little more about it.

After a hiking trip with three best friends goes awry, Walter is forced to make the decision to kill his friends to save himself, or die with them. He ultimately decides to cut the rope they were hanging on, and watches his three best friends fall to their deaths. Walter is convicted on three counts of second degree murder and spends three years in a state mental hospital. The day has come when Walter finishes his three year sentence and is being released by his doctor. He is talking to his psychiatrist Dr. Karl Truftin when he tells Walter that he must come back for after care for one year. The Dr. points out that Walter did after all, kill his friends, and reminds Walter that he had said that we all have the potential to be a killer. Walter agrees to come to treatment as scheduled and signs the paper and is set free.

Meanwhile a group of friends (Amber, Brent, Freddy, Jennifer, Michael, Nicole, Carlos, and Alex) are vacationing together one last time before going off to the college in the fall. They are staying at Brent's fathers vacation home in a secluded wooded area. Walter, who's mind is warped from the entire experience, and who is still bitter about the trial, ventures to the remote lakeside home and finds the teenagers partying into the night. He then decides to test his twisted theory on them.

While in the kitchen, Nicole is grabbed from behind and kidnapped. Shortly after she is pushed through the window into Freddy's bed. Everyone wakes up and realizes that Nicole's throat had been slit and the letters T.V. were carved into her stomach. Brent tuns on the TV and a man (The one who was recently released from the psych ward) comes onto the screen. The sadistic sociopath tells them that they all have the potential to be killers. He then tells them that they have until 6 a.m. and if more than one of them is still alive, he will kill everyone that remains. If anyone wants to stay alive, they have to kill all others that stand in their way, and be the last one standing when it's over.

What a freak!! It's actually kind of a trippy movie though. It raises the question, what would you in this situation? Would you kill your best friends in order to survive? Or would you let them kill you so they could survive?? That's too deep for me to ponder at the moment...and it's kinda morbid. I haven't had enough liquor to even think about it. This movie was actually pretty decent. The acting was good, and the death scenes were pretty good too. There was a limb severing, a dude getting a kitchen skewer through his eye, a dude getting beaten to death by a shovel...ughh I won't tell you anymore, but this movie had it's fair share of blood and gore. It was interesting watching people that were formerly friends and lovers plot to kill one another.

And the plot twist at the end was totally unexpected. Didn't even see it coming! Overall I'd give Kill Theory a 3 out of 5. I could have done without the whiny guy that cried, screamed and freaked out during almost the whole movie. Quit being a bitch huh? That really got on my nerves. I was actually kinda glad when he got a skewer through the eye and out the back of his head. The film did kind of remind me of the Saw series in a way, but not too much. 

And it wasn't at all surprising that cellphones didn't work in the area, the power went out, and oh hey, the phone lines were cut. SHOCKER! But I would recommend this film, maybe during a stormy night or when you want to see some quality gore. And hey, since you're here, stop and by and see what Zane's got going on. Thanks for stopping by Dead End Horror.
