Rating: Summary: Art at it's horrific core!! Review: A real gem from Cindy Sherman's creepier side. Stellar casting! Molly Ringwald is stunning! Carol Kane is classic!The clear packing tape scene still gives me the willies. PURE GENIUS!!! =^..^=
Rating: Summary: ABSOLUTELY MOUTH-WATERING Review: As a die hard fan of cindy sherman...I have to say that I was dying just to get ahold of this movie and when I finally did.....gee....I nearly had an orgasm while watching it. this is definetely a piece of sherman's work...you can see it all through out the movie, although this movie is not for everyone.....I think it was delicious I adore her work and nearly passed out when I held the cover to the movie...isn't that great? well I think that everyone has their own opinion and that is fair...I don't think that she was looking to please everyone and that's what makes good films...to me at least. If you enjoyed this movie or are a fan of her work I would be delighted to talk with you! email me at: jesus_kriste@yahoo.com kiss kiss Aa
Rating: Summary: A truly odd, BUT EFFECTIVE piece of work Review: Dorine is a lonely old woman who works for a modern-age magazine company that's just brushing up with the changing times in cutting edge technology. She lives in her childhood home caring for her cripple mother and leads a pretty unsatisfying life. She gets a shock when company down-sizing forces her to spend less time in the office and more time at home. Then one night, a superior accidently dies fixing electrical wiring. She gets spooked and instead of calling someone, she decides to: lug his body to her home, plant him in front of her basement television, and go on a homicial massacre. Morbidly sick, dismal, and grotesque slasher has admirable direction, style and charisma. Kane turns in an EXCELLENT performance (comparable to Kathleen Turner in SERIAL MOM), the camera angles are astonishingly crafty, the music is haunting, and the ending is quite shocking. There is however one major flaw: the amateur execution of painfully pitiful dialogue. It's unbearable at times. Also, both Ringwald and Tripplehorn are completely wasted.

Rating: Summary: An artsy horror flick!! Review: I think this is a fabulous independent film. People are acting shocked and disgusted by this movie, but what did they expect?The movie, after all, is called office killer!! It's campy and over the top, like most great horror films. Watch this movie with an open mind and enjoy!!
Rating: Summary: "The Basement of Death!"........................HAHA! Review: I will start out by saying, what a strange ensemble this is! Carol Kane, Molly Ringwald and Jean Tripplehorn all in the SAME movie? How utterly random! Not knowing anything about Cindy Sherwood, who is she? I rented this by recommendation from a friend. Did not expect much, judging by the title and the stars. I was in for a pleasant surprise. I was captivated by the sheer grittiness and style of this film alone to make it enjoyable. It uses original angles and lighting in the production aspect of the film, which is refreshing. The thing I most enjoyed about this film was Carol Kane's performance. She makes Kathy Bates in Misery look like the lady in Romper Room. She played the part with such minimalistic ferver it became frightening to watch. Ultimately disturbing to see her go completely wacko as well. This movie absolutely shocked me, I couldn't believe what I was seeing at times. I just didn't expect Doreen to become so evil. It's like, why the girl scouts, WHY? As disturbing as this movie gets, it still manages to remain comedic, so over the top at times, you chuckle. But then you ask yourself, why the heck am I chuckling? (Am I that sick?). My hat goes off to Carol Kane in this performance of a lifetime for her. If your a fan of hers, you gotta see her in Office Killer, "the feel good movie of the year!" (yeah right!).

Rating: Summary: Citizen Kane Review: Photographer and director Cindy Sherman has been watching too many horror movies. This one is definitely the classic formula First an accident, then maybe another, then the trigger. Freud would be proud of this one.
No matter how fun this movie looks do not try this at home. And no, this is not what is meant by downsizing.
Dorine (Carol Kane) is working for a publisher that is about to downsize the office. The office is sort of dysfunctional anyway. Her character is more in line with Milton Waddams `Office Space' (1999). There may be a sub plot to this. Mean while it seems that everyone involved with making Dorine uncomfortable is invited to stay at her place. FOREVER.
So get out the sticky tape and popcorn to watch this one.
Rating: Summary: Sick and pointless Review: Sick and twisted are the best words that I can use to descibe a movie in which the murders of two little girls are done for laughs. There was not one redeeming part to this film. I was like the reviewer above that hoped for a better outcome. I felt sick and dirty for haviing watched such a sick picture. I was disappointed in those that would make such a horrible picture with no redeeming movie. I do not believe in censorship, owever I do believe it is our responsibility to use our talents to enrich others through a variety of ways, not cheapen life or of those around us.
Rating: Summary: CAROL KANE AT HER BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: THE COMPLEXITY AND ODD LOOK OF CAROL KANE MAKE THIS MOVIE WHAT IT IS. NOT ONLY WILL YOU FIND YOURSELF LAUGHING, BUT IT MAY SCARE YOU A LITTLE ALSO. I AM A FAN OF CAROL KANE, FROM HER ODD CHARACTER OF SIMKA ON THE TELEVISION SERIES TAXI, UP UNTIL TODAY!!! SHE BRINGS THIS CHARACTER TO LIFE!!! IF YOU LIKE THRILLERS WITH A HINT OF COMEDY THROWN IN, THEN THIS MOVIE MAY PLEASE YOU!!! THIS IS CAROL KANE AT HER BEST!!!!!!!
