None of the murders is particularly well staged (the sound effects feel distinctly off), yielding little in the way of suspense. February 21, 2014 | Full Review…

If nothing else (and that is pretty accurate), this found-footage horror film comprises the perfect storm of keywords to ensure moderate online success: porn, guns, boobs, simulated rape, antisocial psychopath. February 13, 2014 | Rating: 0.5/4 | Full Review…

The NC-17-rated Lucky Bastard uses the found footage gimmick to surprisingly strong effect, and it give a refreshingly frank view of the porn industry, but eventually steeps into moralizing and tut-tutting that left a very sour taste in my mouth. May 23, 2014 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…
