My quick rating - 3.1/10. The only mind f**k in this flick is you watching from beginning to end and thinking anything exciting will happen. There is a major difference in talent between the two leads for sure. It is a bit distracting how these two obvious buddies who decided to make this movie, and the one who actually can act a little bit, didn't just tell the other one, who most likely was more of the writing type, to just hire someone for his part. So the story here is these two decide to make a documentary about a supposed serial killer they found in a video clip on YouTube. Great start and wouldn't surprise me if morons out there would think this, since EVERYTHING on the Internet is true, I swear. So when it doesn't pan out to actually be a murderer, they decide to make him one. Well, the no-talent dude decides to at least. So, in setting this poor guy up as a killer, which in no possible way they ever were going to get away with their moronic plan, they end up being much more involved than they ever thought they would be. There is enough of a twist in here that I could spoil it, so I won't say more in the off chance you want to bore yourself. This is much more of a little passion project for these two and not anything they should've attempted to push out to the mass market. More to their friends and family, that would've been enough torture.
