Aspires to be a highly stylized exploration of the mind of a serial killer, but it's nothing more than a gory, bloodsoaked snuff film, reveling in its own shock value as women are stabbed, strangled, raped and mutilated.

Debra Birnbaum, New York Post
Rotten

The director Nick Palumbo is determined to shock through a fictional German-born serial killer, who makes his mission clear with every thrust of knife blade and pelvis.

Ned Martel, New York Times
Rotten

The lowest form of cinematic life, a movie so utterly degenerate it makes you wish that indie filmmakers had to prove a basic standard of decency in order to buy a camera.

Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice
Rotten

Pic's nastiness is so insistent, one-dimensional and excessive it risks self-parody.

Dennis Harvey, Variety
