Photographer Cindy Sherman, who often uses motifs from exploitation films in her work, pays witty tribute to slasher films in this satiric horror-comedy. Dorine Douglas (Carol Kane) has spent 16 years at the bottom of the totem pole as a copy editor for Constant Consumer magazine when, due to budget cuts, she's downsized into a contract employee and forced to work out of her home. Dorine isn't at all happy about this, and when she's called back into the office to help obnoxious writer Gary

It can't decide what it wants to be -- slasher fest, social satire or revenge comedy -- and ends up being an awkward goulash.
It doesn't offer a single moment of visceral or emotional electricity.
Trashy, stupid, schlock-y, and completely dull.
Some of this is insulting, all of it is tedious.
The film opens with some intriguing and old-fashioned credits set to an ominous score. That's the high point.
No terror or suspense occupies this tired, gloomy vacuum, not to mention wit or humor.
A pretentious pseudo-parody of a serial-killer movie.
The measure of this film's failure is that when the nasty stuff happens, we don't laugh and we really don't care.
It's more disturbing than finding half a cockroach in a Fluffernutter sandwich.
Extra points for liberal use of chicken innards as wholesale gore. Minus points for not being funny enough.
As lifeless as the corpses that pile up in mousy Carol Kane's basement.
Despite running only 81 minutes, Sherman's debut feels distended, perhaps because it flutters around from black comedy to Grand Guignol to character study, rarely touching down on any of the above.
Office Killer, Qu'est-ce que c'est? Actually a better question would be why did you have to suck so hard and make me forever regret leaving an Abel Ferarra Q&A to make it on time to see you. Screw you Office Killer!

This is a wierd movie with some solid actresses in it. Part comedy part horror it will entertain you some, but aside from that don't expect much.
