There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

A pair of young children, a boy and girl, survive a home invasion that claims their parents lives. They are sent to the standard "evil" Catholic orphanage, and the girl is adopted while the boy stays behind. As with all Hollywood movies, the orphanage is home to a lot of abuse in the name of God, and the young boy acts out violently to others around him. He also enjoys wearing masks, but hey, who doesn't? Years later, the young girl has grown into a woman who teaches dance at the local Catholic school. Im not sure how many practicing Catholics go to mass in a black micro mini and fishnet stockings - sans underwear. But hey shes pretty hot. Long story short, killer brother comes back to Church and starts offing people left and right, tracking down his sister. Lots of blood later, with the help of her police boyfriend, she has her final showdown with her long lost brother.This isn't a badly made film, in fact, it actually is a lot better then most of the low budget slashers out there. The acting is above average and the gore special effects are also well done. One of the problems is the music, with consists of loud heavy metal blaring during the action scenes. The other problem is the story plot points. Characters who do dumb things at dumb times, etc. Lots of horror movies do this, so it can be overlooked for the sake of the movie.The movie as a whole is watchable and even enjoyable for a bit. It is not however, anything you will remember as soon as the credits roll.

Don't know what all the negativity is on this site, but this is a perfect modern day slasher. Brutal kills, great killer, and kick a** score.It really is like a twisted Michael Myers story. You can tell how much passion went into the movie and that the director is a not in it for the money, but because he himself is a fan. The killers use of barb wire really is the perfect weapon. Granted that everyone isn't into gory movies, but if you are you got everything you want; decapitation,head crushing, and like I said before some of the best uses of barbwire I have seen.Plus the best part is they don't cut away. You get to see it all go happen on screen. If you enjoy movies like Maniac,They Call Her One Eye, Hostel, or Rob zombie movies you will like this. Even though the score is low do your self a favor and find and watch this movie!!!!

Just been exposed to this awesome movie, and I'm glad I bought a signed copy. This movie is not for everyone- it's very gory, very suspenseful, and downright blasphemous to some. It is not a PG-13 horror movie by any means, and R might not contain it. But for those who find those things a positive...1. Deep Characterization- Despite minimalist dialog, the acting is superb, small motions and scenes bringing across character depth often unseen in the horror genre.2. Powerful Gore Effects- The kills in this are scary realistic, hits mangling and deforming people before they die. Heads are ripped apart, blood flows, skin is ripped off- it's painful looking stuff, and awesome.3. Cinematography and sound in general are both superb, the picture clear and easy to see. Brutal sound on all the squelching, deadly hits going on.4. Acting. The voice of the Orphan Killer is terrifying and awesome, and the way people carry themselves in this really communicates the punishment their bodies have been put through.There are things I could nitpick about this film, but they are so minor in comparison to the awesomeness of it, I can't bring myself to type them. Here's waiting for the sequel!

Finally, finally there comes along an independent horror film worth watching. It would be easy to look at the description and dismiss this as just another slasher film, but it's not. For an independent film, it's clear that they had a decent budget, and that the filmmakers were truly passionate about the project.I'm not going to go too much into the plot, because it's fairly straightforward, but the kills and gore are excellent, and this film has a level of pure brutality that sometimes makes you cringe, especially when the killer is torturing his sister. It's very intense, and actress Diane Foster is a real trooper, given what Director Matt Farnsworth puts her through.I highly encourage everyone NOT to listen to the haters out there who are trashing this film simply because their film didn't make it. This is a good, independent film that delivers, as opposed to the hundreds of indie horror films out there that look exactly like they were shot in someone's backyard for $500.I admit that I am every so slightly biased because this movie was filmed in my old elementary school, as well as several other places throughout my hometown, but that just adds to the experience for me.Give "The Orphan Killer" a chance. You will NOT be disappointed!
