After reading all the reviews, they more or less pinned it down to one thing- dreadful. In every sense.From the amateur acting,script to the general messy organisation of it all. I found myself cringing lots and it was unintentionally funny. The only thing that redeemed this film was the music score perhaps.

I don't see how someone people saw these idiots as great actors/actresses for many reasons:They pause a lot as if they don't know their lines. I don't know if they're trying to be more suspenseful but they SUCK at it if that's the case. The script is AWFUL as well. I don't know what tf they were thinking while writing this crap. The first woman literally looked straight into the camera for a second & was definitely OVERDOING the "seduction" scene. That "dirty talk" was SO ridiculous! I laughed so hard!! Don't waste your time with this crap or you'll definitely regret it!

Now here's something incredible: SECRETS OF A PSYCHOPATH marks the return to the screen, after a 26 year hiatus, of writer/director Bert I. Gordon, aka the notorious Mr. B.I.G., famed director of 1950s monster fare such as THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN and BEGINNING OF THE END! Bert's last film was 1989's SATAN'S PRINCESS, and I think I can safely say that we all assumed he had hung up his hat and taken a long-overdue retirement after that movie. Well, now he's back at the tender age of 93 and making films again! Sadly, this is hardly a return to form for the old timer, as SECRETS OF A PSYCHOPATH is a near-unwatchable mess; an independent horror film featuring the talents of the ever-sexy Kari Wuhrer and not a lot elsewhere. The storyline is about a pair of unusual siblings and the murder plots that surround them, and of course there are the requisite flashbacks to earlier events that may or may not have had traumatic effects.What it all boils down to is a lot of talk and not a lot else. The story is padded out with dull sex scenes and even duller murder scenes. I like Wuhrer as a B-movie starlet, I always have done, but the supporting cast that surrounds her here is uniformly awful, with some truly embarrassing overacting going on in places. Sadly, SECRETS OF A PSYCHOPATH is a curious footnote in Gordon's long-term career rather than anything truly of merit.

The long wait is over: SECRETS OF A PSYCHOPATH - the new film from the acclaimed director Bert I. Gordon is here. Bert I. Gordon also known as Mr. BIG brought us such classics like THE AMAZING COLOSSAL MAN, EARTH VS. THE SPIDER, THE FOOD OF THE GODS and EMPIRE OF THE ANTS.The story goes like this: Henry (Mark Famiglietti) and Katherine (Kari Wurhrer) are a loving brother and sister who live in their large old family home. But they are not your typical brother and sister. They are couple of psychos, who kill young women in order to to try to „heal" Henry's sexual disjunctions.SECRETS OF A PSYCHOPATH is a spellbinding psychological thriller. Yes, its a low budget, indie film, and yes it has some flaws here and there, but overall it is a great movie you should not miss. Bert I. Gordon still got „it". His directing is very stylish, fluid and confident. Mr. BIG is a great storyteller - he creates the suspense in the movie through cleverly chosen shots (the house of the siblings becomes almost an independent character in this film!), inventive camera angles and wonderful, moody music by Scott Glasgow. Contributing greatly to the film's success are a solid screenplay by Mr. BIG himself, warmly handsome photography by Brett A. Hart .SECRETS OF A PSYCHOPATH gives us chance to take a look inside the mind of the serial killer, learn what makes him tick. You can find some interesting echos of the classic Hitchcook' PSYCHO but the idea is to see the world through the eyes of a madman. As in every good thriller there is a twist at the end but obviously I want spoil it here. You have to find out for yourself what the titular secrets are.But to save the best for last, the acting is terrific, with a standout performance by Kari Wuhrer as the film's Catherine - a complex and powerful character, the real tour de force of this story. Driven mad by sick love to her brother Catherine is a an evil, yet tragic person. Wuhrer commands attention whenever she's on the screen. She crafts her role very well with many layers and nuances. She's beautiful, sexual and deadly, but at the same time totally unstable and crazy. Without any doubt this is a triumphant return of the actress who unfortunately was rarely seen on the screen in the last few years. Oh and there's a special treat for the fans: Catherine's „I'm the emergency" on-liner gets a super cool meaning thanks to Kari. You'all understand when you see the film, here let me just say that Kari still is a „Perfect Ten"! Kudos to You, Miss Wuhrer.All to all if you like good psychological thrillers, with a high suspense and great performances, you should definitely see SECRETS OF A PSYCHOPATH. And one more thing: I can't wait for the next film from Mr.BIG!
