Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Konterr Brilliant and touching

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

merklekranz "The Barber" is an entertaining film about a serial killer hiding out in small town Alaska. The fact that almost everyone there can barely write their own name makes them easy prey for Malcolm McDowell, the town barber. Some good character development, and sharp humor help immensely. The bleak Alaskan winter provides an appropriately dreary backdrop for the strangling of several females. Friction develops between the local sheriff and an FBI agent sent to investigate. Most of the story is told from the killers viewpoint, and the ending is both unexpected and out of the ordinary. I liked it and recommend "The Barber" - MERK

sol- Surprisingly much better than it sounds, the film is atmospheric and stylishly directed, and the screenplay has good ideas and dialogue. The film still has the markings of a routine thriller, and towards the end in particular it starts to lose itself. But it is a modest production, which does not try to be any better than it is, and it is rather fascinating to watch. McDowell quite effectively narrates and plays the leading role, and the music used in the film is very fitting in general - though the classical music used feels like a forced allusion to 'A Clockwork Orange'. Overall, it is not a masterpiece of cinema, but it is definitely better than the average thriller out there, and it certainly has more power to engage than most Hollywood productions today.

lgilbertom This movie was to be a horror movie, however just in beginning this film give some laughs. The initial sequence with two drunk friends is funny. I know this movie should be a horror movie, but i have some fun watch this movie. The Malcom McDowell performance is good, Jeremy Ratford make a reasonable performance with Chief Vance and Garwing Sanford well, his performance is weak and his character looks like a stupid one.************** Minor Spoilers *****************************************There is found, a body in a small town in north Alaska, population 253 souls. When this happens, some other dies start to happen. Chief Vance and FBI agent try to uncover who is the man that is behind of this murders. One comment, in the beginning of this movie is clear that who is kill those people, yes the Barber, Malcom McDowell character, but i believe that isn't a big surprise.**********************************************************************But in my opinion the End of this movie is everything ruins, could be much better. I cast 6 for this movie but, i think that deserve 5.5.

golemdw When I originally sought to rent this movie I thought I was in store for a suspenseful horror type movie. I thought I would be guessing who the killer is as the body count grows. After all I discovered this movie on the "horror" shelf. What i actually discovered was a movie with nothing to offer, the most boring, pointless, worst movie, i ever seen.The movie begins with a body being discovered by two drunks in the woods of a city in Alaska on the final night of daylight. You already know that the barber did it. AFter this there is no movie left. The barber gets mad because he didnt think the body would be found until spring and begins to go on a "rampage". During this rampage about 5 people are killed and there is NONE, ZERO suspense, or blood involving the murders. The movie drags on as an FBI agent and the local police cheif try to figure out who the killer is. The thing is the audience already knows and there is no fun in watching the movie. There is no script, no clever detective tricks, no suspence, no drama, etc.I beg you, do not see this movie even if it looks tempting on the "horror" shelf. The thing is there is no category to put this movie with. I guess they put it in the horror section because the horror is actually wasting and hour and 34 minutes of your life when you could be doing something more useful like watching paint dry or observing grass grow.
