Edit
I have to give the movie credit in saying you can tell that mostly everyone involved is sincere. This is an honest effort that just falls terribly short.
The premise is kind of genius and the opening is pretty great. Said older brother has passion for horror that he's obviously passed on to his younger brother. Younger brother finds out older brother is a real serial killer. Now you've got all kinds of themes to play around with here. You typical coming of age stuff, brother relationships, alienation during puberty, etc. There are also some solid ideas in the movie related to the younger brother. His obsession with horror at a young age and actually making a real attempt at drawing comics with friends.
Small things like that combined with wasted potential and sub par attempts at gore make for a plot and characters that are falling apart from the get-go. It's look is inconsistent bouncing from poorly shot micro budget school project to well done indie pretty frequently.
The writing is bland at best, but the acting really highlights it's weaknesses.
There's a sort of twist related to character motivation pretty far into the movie that is just cringe worthy, and completely removed me from the thread thin ability to feel sympathy for anyone in this movie, which with a movie like this is important to keep intact.
With solid indie made firsts like murder party and the battery, this just feels like it was mishandled. Is the movie a total wreck? No, as stated above there are some interesting nuggets. Ultimately this movie would have been better off in more capable hands.
