[Update 03/15/2023: Need rewatch this film and redo this review completely. Fix
the screenshots also.]
Eighty-five minutes was too long for this movie. Thirty-five would have been
better.
Henry Pinkle is a fucked up dude. He's obsessed with a TV show and when it's
canceled it pushes this goofball over the edge and suddenly an imaginary friend
pops up right as he's about to commit suicide. The imaginary dude (played by one
of the inhuman teaching monsters from CLASS OF 1999 tells Henry that he can be a
star and gives him an ax and a baby mask. Henry kills some people (nearly all of
it is done off screen or told through news reports) and becomes famous, but
before long his 15 minutes are up. And I wish this movie had ended at least 15
minutes earlier. At first I was enjoying the build up, but that was it. The
murder scenes were lame and the majority of the movie was spent with Henry
talking to his imaginary friend or Henry talking to his case worker. If this had
been a short film I'd recommend it, but as it is it's just way too long with not
enough action. At least fellow early 90's forgotten serial killer movie RAMPAGE
had some amazing kill scenes before it shit the bed by become a lame court room
drama for the last 45 minutes. Skip it.
