This movie does have some good moments. It didn't scare me, at all. I should've known there'd be a goofy police officer. There was also a few predictable scenes of when someone was going to die.I won't be in denial, but I admit I liked this movie a little bit. It is obvious it isn't an award worthy movie. There are much worse movies and horror movies out there, compared to Offerings.The one soundtrack song, in this movie, is really from Haloween's theme. There's no doubt about it. Notice: This is my very first review, on IMDb, so I'm still new to typing reviews. My first one was on Yahoo, years ago.

"Offerings" isn't a Horror classic. It is a small film, that has a story the short description pretty much sums up already. Nevertheless I had some fun with it. It keeps you entertained, it doesn't get boring and provides everything that you can expect from a mid-budget 80's Horror film.Some of the details are nonsense of course. I doubt that someone becomes a serial killer just because he fell on his head as a child as well as it is pretty cheesy how the movie ends. But to be honest, I didn't really expect else. Sure, you could have made it a better movie by providing a more emotional or detailed background story, you could have depicted the character in a more realistic and less plump way.But if you are just looking for an entertaining one-time watch this will serve you well. All in all I don't feel like complaining.

You're a kid, right? You go to all the trouble of befriending the town weirdo who is a loner and a mute. Everybody else hates him, and yet you still stand by the guy, even in the face of public ridicule. One day, a gang of them push him down a well. He receives a nasty head injury which stops him from developing a conscience. After he is rescued and returns home, he then proceeds to murder, and then eat his own mother. The men in white coats arrive, and he spends the next decade in a mental asylum. He escapes after a nurse forgetting to give him his tranquiliser is impaled through the head with it herself. He returns to his old neighbourhood, and how does he repay you for all those times you supported him years ago when no-one else would? Why, he kills all your best mates of course.. and delivers their severed body parts to your door! AND he bakes you a nice pizza with a new topping.. cooked human flesh! Ever get the feeling that winning his friendship wasn't worth the effort??This is a standard slasher flick with the usual assortment of dumb teenagers who just wanna make out, an overweight sheriff who becomes slowly more exasperated about what is happening in his formerly peaceful town and the remorseless killer who has just one line of dialogue at the end. The murder scenes are directed reasonably well, but in a predictable, stale fashion which leaves no room for surprises. There is a strange moment in a cemetery when a weird gravedigger is interviewed about what he saw.. his performance is so strange it's like something out of a different picture. But this is the only off-kilter moment in a film that could have done with a few more of them. Don't think you're a genius if you can guess the rest of the plot after 20 minutes. I did, and I'm certainly no member of MENSA.. 4/10 P.S What DID happen to Gretchen's dog?!

Movie viewers who like to watch low-budget horrors with a talentless unknown cast, this is right up your alley.The only thing I liked about this film, was that redheaded kid the fat sheriff caught looking at girly-mags, who teased the obese officer saying his name was Ben Dover, which the sheriff never got.The plot centers around a shy child, with a terrible home life(his mother happily incorporates cigarette ashes in his breakfast) who is tormented and later pushed down a well by kids his age. Years pass and our shy kid is now a disfigured freakshow determined to get revenge.The title Offerings was used because of the killer leaving body parts on his only friends doorstep, much in the way a cat does when devouring a mouse.
