Please for the sake of not being completely stupid, if someone appears to be following you while your driving, whether it be a 86-year-old granny or 35-year-old in his prime "creeper," whatever you do DON'T drive up to your own home. Upon watching the first 15 minutes of this film I was greatly disappointed because I've read enough about serial killers and watched enough Unsolved Mysteries to fill my pleasant days with a sense of paranoia that just won't go away. If I get the slightest feeling of someone following me I high-tail my skinny ass out of the situation and you should, too. Than again, I guess I'm just one of those people who actually pays attention to what's going on in my surroundings.
The movie is based on true events. Two murderers become buddies and end up taping and viewing their murders at their own leisure. It's like the 80's Peeping Tom but way sicker and without any sympathy at all for the murderers.
The scene where they actually watch themselves murder, what I assumed was a small family, is probably the most disturbing part. Otis, the dumber of the pair, decides he doesn't just want to rewind the tape for another viewing but that he wants to re-play it frame by frame.
The slight addition of a romance between Otis' sister and Henry was the only element of the movie I found irritating, there really isn't any need for it at all. This guy claims to have killed more than 600 people in his lifetime, I'm sure he barely had any time to find true love or even know what that human emotion means.
Otis' demise in the movie didn't exactly play fair to reality, he dies years later from liver failure and not from being stabbed to death with a metal comb. Spoiler, I know... it's just too bad for you.
