Reasonably well done black comedy with a very good ending, although as a whole, the film doesn't seem to coalesce as well as it should. It does tread a lot of ground covered by "A Clockwork Orange," and draws attention to this by using the same Purcell theme music, but to lesser effect.
This film is also notable for being astonishingly tasteless, playing a real-life serial-killer's relatively recent crimes for laughs, sometimes with wacky music playing in the background, and trying to get the viewer sympathising with the killer and against the victims. 10 years 9 months ago
