Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

central_999 I have been patiently waiting for the new "Zodiac" to be released early next year. And I've done the other two Zodiac released films that were released direct to video. Seeing this one on the shelf made me very curious but I was expecting a big let down. With this being a lower budget film I thought for sure it would suck. It kept my interest and I thought one of the cops were going to die for sure. I actually thought the reporter was going to turn into a psycho herself and kill the boyfriend. I expected a twist like that. Even though things didn't go the way I thought or would have liked it was still a good movie. I can appreciate a low budget movie that tries and San Franpsycho worked for me. I like to see movies succeed the way this one did. Rent it if you like good acting on a low budget level or just wait for "Zodiac" if you're spoiled with big budget Hollywood stuff. I can appreciate both.

Jeremy Nathaniel (yankees-rule1) two cops on the hunt for a guy who looks like he'll snap your neck first then ask questions later. the movie was a bit long and could have made the same IMPACT if it were a little shorter. the acting was good and the psycho guy was good. but WHAT THE HELL was todd bridges doing in this movie? i haven't seen him in years and i have nothing against the guy but he was just kinda "there", ya know? and i have a problem with the cops and this psycho not even sharing the screen at all. the best thing that could have happened in this movie is to have the psycho go after and kill the partner. and the girl should have lived. even though the twist still worked and i liked how it ended, it could have just used more of the psycho guy leaving more dead bodies. he was one mean looking sicko. it was good that they didn't use too much fake blood because it ruins a movie but i guess that's how it is when you have no money. still liked it though, just should have been SHORTER.

Leanea Thayne What a creepy place, San Francisco. What a creepy score, tech-no. What a creepy killer who kills sinners committing dirty sins. But the creepiest thing in the whole movie is when you have to hear this guy talk. He sounds like he's a baby boy in a hulking man's body...what a lunatic. This is the best horror movie, this year, period. It has everything. It has great characters. The acting was so good. Everyone in the cast was great. It takes you for a ride leaving you wondering what's going to happen next. Body after body, victim after victim. Thank you for putting so much into your characters. A lot of filmmakers either don't know how, don't care, or just don't come through with good character development to carry you through the movie. Good Job. Be careful, the San Franpsycho is still out there.

Gravesofthetrust The movie was pretty bad. It's not so much a script problem. It's just that the movie is really boring in terms of pacing. The movie just seems to plod along at a slow, agonizing rate. The story in San Franpsycho is that there's a serial killer on the loose who is killing morally corrupt individuals (maybe I read too much into it, but hey, it's my nature apparently) after The San Franpsycho kills a pair of people under the Golden Gate Bridge we're introduced to one of the main characters of the film: Joe Estevez (brother of Martin Sheen) as a curmudgeony cop named Bill Culp. Bill is currently trying to hunt down the killer (seriously he doesn't have a name, he's just The Killer), and he is trying to coerce a local news reporter named Rita to help him with his investigation, Bill is the stereotypical hard-edged cop and he threatens Rita to throw her in jail for obstruction of justice. Anyway a few scenes pass by and suddenly Rita finds a letter left by the psychopath (He's a cold blooded psychopath!) and she has a change of heart and tells Bill and his partner Joe about it and help them with the investigation.The movie tries to be a taut murder-thriller, but sort of just fails at that. It's much like the movie The Black Dahlia it tries to be tense but it just is unbelievable in terms of that. The movie tries to be serious throughout, but it has scenes like where The Killer masturbates (obviously a fan of gore porn what with lines like: "ooh blood on her" or something to that effect) and Joe Estevez hitting the table going: "He's a cold blooded murderer!" I admit to chuckling more than once at the movie, even though I'm sure it was intended to be a deadly serious movie.One of the only positive points the movie has going for it is the fact that I didn't pay money to see it (huzzah netflix). And it's sad because I could see some good in their movies after watching The Damned. Sure the movie had its fair share of flaws, but it was enjoyable. Sadly though San Franpsycho has nothing going for it. Granted it has an okay script it's nothing too grand, but it could've been interesting. Instead what you get is a murder thriller that fails to thrill or have even vaguely enjoyable deaths. Also the other reviews claim that the movie has "a great twist ending that's shocking" apparently I was watching a different movie because by about the one hour mark I sort of figured out what was going to happen. The ending didn't shock me in the least bit. I would go on insulting this wreck of a movie but I don't think I will. Long story short this movie is a boring uninspired thriller (I use that term loosely) that fails to have the "Hitchcockian thrills" that another reviewer claims to have a predictable ending, bland deaths, acting with all of the emotion of a plank of wood, and a decent soundtrack.I'm sure others will try to defend this with the usual: It was a low budget movie, they did the best they could with such a low budget, and all that other nonsense. But when you get right down to it there was very little that they could've really spent that budget on, there was very little special effects work, the soundtrack sounds like it might've been recycled from Hood of the Living Dead or The Damned, and it's the same damn crew from those two films. This movie really reminds me a lot of another low budget flick that was no good, and it was called Mr. Jingles, the two are about the same quality, they fail to deliver anything close to enjoyment and should fade quickly into obscurity.
