A film based on the book 'the last victim' co-authored by Jason Moss who had an obsession with and was the pen pal of the killer clown John Gacy. It is a slow, well timed, minimalist, almost art house type film, think it is also directed quite well. It captures the emotional conflicts and feelings of both characters well I thought. Both leads are competent professional character actors. It is quite an interesting subject matter, the film delves into what it would be like for a teenager to correspond with a disturbed sociopath who is incarcerated and finally visit them. It is quite a tragic story that deserved to be told, Sadly Jason took his own life on June 6, 2006, the film states at the end. Anyway I recommend this film

This is a strange kind of film to review. On the one hand its about a serial killer , on the other hand the serial killer is cooped up in jail, so there's limited threat to the protagonist.The performances are good by both main actors and the plot is done well , I was just disappointed that this isn't really a thriller in the normal way and I'd say if you want something frightening you might want to look elsewhere.As a drama though it works quite well and it held my attention till the end. There are some flash back scenes which provide more of the traditional thrills associated with serial killer movies.. but they're just flashbacks. It would have been great if the director had more of these scenes woven in to the story to remind us of what a truly despicable and frightening person Gacy was and why the protagonist should be scared, but he didn't and it is a decent enough watch all the same.

As someone who generally sticks to popular Hollywood movies, I found myself very impressed by this movie. I had never heard of it, or the director, but I gave it a chance and I'm glad I did, because it was worth it. The story is exciting and follows the main character's journey into the mind of a serial killer, and crosses back and forth between the main character's thoughts of "I'm glad I am doing this" and "What did I get myself into?". Not a dull moment in the movie, and very well organized. It was the first movie I've seen by a Macedonian director, and I must say I would like to see more! If I wasn't as open to watching lesser-known movies in the past, this has made me open my eyes to some real acting and story lines, and it shows that the flashy animation and loud sound effects of Hollywood are not a must for a great movie!

This is a difficult movie to watch. I rented it over the holiday week for entertainment.I felt the movie draws the viewer into the emotional sea of conflict and any flick that can do that, in my estimation is superior.Certain parts are very difficult because they deal with sexuality , ciminiality and morals all at once.The flick should not be rejected simply because it might to thought to be anti-gay. There were parts that I thought could pander to homophobic people.I would recommend it and advise imagine you are 18 years old and dealing with a psychological experiment where you become the bait for the vampire.
