GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Michael_Elliott Amateur Porn Star Killer 2 (2008)* (out of 4)The second film in writer-director Shane Ryan's series finds himself back playing the serial killer Brandon who lures a young woman (Kai Lanette) into a hotel room where they're supposed to make a porn movie but his plans include killing her.It seems this series has many people who hate it but I actually enjoyed the first movie and thought it was rather disturbing but extremely well-made. The original film had a very simply plot but director Ryan did an extremely good job bringing it to life and it managed to work. Sadly, the same can't be said for this sequel, which is a pretty big mess. I will say, however, that Ryan at least did a good job in the acting department and I thought Lanette was also good in her role.There are all sorts of problems with this film, which is basically just a remake of the first one. What made the original film work so well is that it really did feel like you were watching a real snuff film of a woman being brutally raped and murdered by a serial killer. The same can't be said with this movie because there's a music score that adds nothing and there are all sorts of experimental filters and colors going on here. The experimental nature makes it clear that there's a "director" behind the camera operating everything and this simply ruins the snuff film appeal of the first movie.The biggest problem is that the film is just downright dull as well. Just check out the opening sequence, which seems to drag on forever as we see various women being filmed by the killer. There are flashback scenes here that add nothing to the picture and in all honesty they're not all that memorably filmed. AMATEUR PORN STAR KILLER 2 sadly just never works and in the end we're left with a boring movie.

Gordon Ilott The point in creating a physiological thriller, intended to make someone think or believe its real it's something that should be filmed in 3 hours in a friends basement with an actress that isn't fooling anyone.If the (and I personally feel ashamed to call him such) director wanted to make a film that was anything less then complete garbage he could have invested in a tripod. As far as people who create actual videos like this. (no not in porn in real life) They would put the camera down on a table or something so see everything that went on in order to view it later, and please lets not get into the terrible plot of the three movies where this 'rapist' changes his targeted age group for no reason..Aside from bashing the stupidity of who ever let him film this and the poor editing job, terrible angles most of which you cant even see what is going on or wear its taking place due to his Parkinsons disease with the camera, I rate this a do not buy, watch rent or even think about downloading, It's a waste of time and anyone who has anything good to say about this waste of tape needs to Higher their standards.

christopher-underwood Much the same set-up as the original, Amateur Porn Star Killer, but quite a different film due to the absence of the 'little girl' element and the introduction of a more knowing and initially complicit 'victim'. Difficult to watch but hypnotic nevertheless with its crazy editing and beguiling images. Here the lady in tow is clearly up for some rough sex and Kai Lanette gives an amazingly believable performance. The flashbacks to previous rapes and killings continually disrupt the 'main event' but contribute to the 'realness' and force us to struggle to stay with the reprehensible but irresistible continuing action. Much more explicit than the first and unlike others I don't have a problem with that. Sure a film can be made without nudity and a film involving sex without hardcore but give the man a break if he wants to show some sex with his violence, this simply makes it even more realistic for me.

moorenavyit This isn't normally my kind of movie I'm not big on skin or slasher flicks... Amateur Porn Star Killer 2 isn't either it's a disturbingly well done faux snuff film. It's probably the most twisted movie I've ever seen. It's so straight forward, so simple, so wrong. It won't make you jump out of your skin but it will make you wonder about the kind of world we live in. The movie is basically straight from the home videos of a psychopath. Except that every few minutes we get a flash back into the fates of previous victims. I the only thing I was disappointed at was the end wasn't as brutal as I expected it would be. I guess that's pretty messed up... Twisted.
