I bought this film for £1 from my local supermarket. It was hugely over priced.Despite featuring 3 fairly established Hollywood actors (Gary Busey, Michael Madsen and Arnold Vosloo) the acting is so excruciatingly bad it often seems like a tongue in cheek comedy sketch. The director must have been a functioning alcoholic or drug addict to think the script was i anyway feasible and to apparently not notice the laughably poor standard of acting. This is genuinely one of the worst films ever written, directed or acted in. Another reviewer states that the film is so bad it is almost funny. Fair enough, but I can't (as he can) watch it twice a week. Because I would vomit into my own mouth over and over.

From what was touted on the box as the best independent video release of the year, Diary of a Serial Killer had a lot to do to live up to that promise.Unfortunately it did not even come close.It tries very hard not to have the look of a cheap telemovie, but its parentage peeks through and unhappily reminds you exactly how cheap it is.I can see what the writer and director were trying to do with the Busey character, and his inner torment at having to interview a serial killer. But it just didn't come off that well on screen.Arnold Vosloo isn't that bad, but is let down by some truly awful dialogue.A great idea, but poorly executed.

I have one thing to say about this movie, and that is:I saw a murder.............THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED!!!This line is the greatest line performed by any actor in any film ever made. I suggest renting this movie if only for this one scene. Nothing even comes close.

I thought this was going to be a somewhat decent film about a serial killer and how his/her mind works....YAWN! I couldn't even finish watching the film. It's hard to believe that Gary Busey once was nominated for an Oscar. Now he's doing this garbage.
