ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

Story about a deranged killer and the effort to bring him
to justice.
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A man and woman are shown partially dressed in an office in a
police station. A couple is shown kissing. Apparently some of the victims are sodomized.
There is only discussion of it, nothing is shown.
VIOLENCE/GORE 7 - 2 people are shot, and a woman is shown bloody and
hysterical. A man is shown in front of a tiger's cage naked from the waist up and covered
in blood. Bloody body parts are found in a room, the camera scans them quickly, so not
much is discernable except for a lot of blood. Discussion of the victims being cut open to
get at the organs and the killer apparently drinks their blood. A young girl is shown on a
stretcher in a hospital, and we are told that her heart is beating but there is no brain
activity. We are then shown the parents making the decision to disconnect the life support
systems. A family dog is shown being buried after having been killed by a neighbor.
Murderer shown carrying a hefty bag presumably containing a young boy's body. Bloody
organs, mice, nazi flags, pictures of children splattered with blood. A young boys hand is
shown after his body is found in a river. Two policemen are killed, one's throat is slit,
another is stabbed in the chest. A priest is killed. The killer is shown covered with
blood on the altar of a church.
PROFANITY 0 - None. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Serial murder, insanity, death penalty.
MESSAGE - Serial murderers are insane, and should be judged as such.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
