LouHomey From my favorite movies..

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

befoulmetalroosa This was relentless. Relentlessly dull and unimaginative. It looks to be a sequel of sorts to the first one, entitled "The Ritual." This one was done in a more DiscoveryID docudrama way, which didn't really help it at all. The older characters were dumpy and bland, and the young 'proteges' were lackluster. The video footage portraying the 'murders' lacked any sort of realism. The only one that I was discomfited by was the anal rape with the bowie knife.Both Montgomery's mother and wife were the ultimate uberbi****s, which really underscored Montgomery's milquetoast demeanor. I mean, I get that a serial killer that is the most unassuming and non-confrontational man ever would be an interesting twist. The 'he was so quiet. Very polite and courteous. Willing to help anyone' type of person. However, that particular characterization in this film just made it fall flat. It's tough to believe that a man with so little testicular fortitude would be capable of kidnapping and killing people.

jtglover44 "Head Cases: Serial Killers in the Delaware Valley" tells the story of serial killer Wayne Montgomery, an unremarkable nobody - and serial killer - from a small town who immortalizes his life of murder by videotaping every moment, sharing it with the world, and inspiring a slew of copycats and wannabes. The style of "Head Cases" is taken right from something you might see on ID, except it avoids poking fun at the subject matter. "Head Cases" is well-done and just plain scary as hell. The intensity of "Head Cases" is relentless from the opening moments and doesn't let up for its first hour, before briefly evolving into a drama in its 2nd act as the focus of the story shifts to the main character's issues with his mom. The story reverts back to its relentless intensity in the final act as loose ends are tied up. By the end, I realized that I was subconsciously rooting for the killers. It was interesting to see everything come full circle and most of the story's outstanding questions are answered in a satisfying way. The best performances in Head Cases belong to Barbara Lessin and Mark Cray. Lessin's Andrea Montgomery (Wayne's ex-wife) sits in a jail cell and tells her side of the story long after the fact. Her performance is haunting and subdued - she claims remorseful for her part in the murders yet insists that she was manipulated by a life of abuse by the men in her life. As a viewer, I kept going back and forth on whether I felt sorry for her, a testament to Lessin's strong performance. Cray's John Craven (Wayne's stepson) is a creepy sociopath with a taste for the macabre. He tells his side of the story from an unknown location, gleefully regaling his audience with his tales of murder. It's clear he's manipulating the viewers and he simply doesn't care. Cray is so convincing that I was relieved when I watched an interview he did online and saw that he seems like a normal guy. I felt a similar relief towards the movie itself: I was relieved that none of the events or characters actually happened and was relieved that it was over. The relentless intensity from beginning to end led me to enjoy the aftermath much more.

zouzi33 You know, I got that people like imagination and fiction etc, but when you create a serial killer and make it look like a documentary, it's fraud for me, A Movie by defenition is about imagination, selling a story to an audience, who know that it's not THE TRUTH, but want to escape in imagination land, a DOCUMENTARY is something that's REAL, so when you combine both and one of them is false (the documentary part)...well it's a fraud, people want the truth, there's enough serial killers outhere, we don't need a fake one, so please don't waste my time, 5mn into the movie I did a google search and find out its all a fake, I was desappointed and stopped the movie...I LIKE THE TRUTH or at least make it a REAL MOVIE.awful!

gregbastien76 Let me start by saying, "oh my God." As a fan of all of the films in the series, I must say, I can't think of a better way this could have ended. Head Cases was a standout. It was done in the style of a 48 Hours Mystery type of documentary. It gathered all the pieces of every story and brought it all together in a seamless and incredible package. I honestly think I enjoyed this the most, even more than the original. The acting was fantastic, as usual. Very well cast. The cinematography was also quite stunning. Very minimalist, yet I couldn't pry myself away from the screen. The footage in this felt so authentic. I believe some of it was, but I can't tell what is and what isn't, truth be told. It's clear how much care was put into the fine details. It definitely paid off. The direction the movie headed was fantastic. In the opening scene, we are presented with a quote from Wayne Montgomery that reads, "I'm passing on my knowledge, so it won't die when I do." Without revealing any detail, this just gives you an idea of where the film is headed. Many twists and turns develop in the last of the series. Things I definitely did not see coming. It was impressive how many plots were tied together and in the conclusion were still presented with new and surprising material. Definitely the most impressive film of the bunch. All of my questions were answered and my mind was blown yet again. I am thankful to have been introduced to the series, it's been an awesome ride.
