Son of Sam Trailers

This chilling tale recounts the late 70s in New York City, when a serial killer on the loose dubbed "Son of Sam" creates havoc. When arrested, "Son of Sam" tells police he was influenced by a satanic cult. New York would never be the same.

Ulli is without a doubt the worst director is cinematic history. This mess of a movie proves that without any argument. Perhaps if he would actually try to make a real movie instead of "art house trash", he would make something watchable. The only good thing about his movies is that one can hit fast forward for at least 60% of each film and get done faster and therefore waste less time out ones daily grind. Ulli's movies are so bad, that "Plan 9 From Outerspace", the deliciously bad movie and "Attack of the Killer Tomato(e)s", would have a uncontested win in the Best Picture category at the Oscars! Ulli's movies are so bad that Uwe's films look like masterpieces.The continual shots of the Satanic rituals got old after the first one. Each one making less and less sense. The shots of "Son of Sam" just wondering around became so nonsensical after the first two times.Somebody please keep this man from wasting any more of our lives by making any further films!

I'm not usually given to hyperbole, nor have I ever felt compelled to write a movie review before. After watching this steaming pile, however, I'm actually angry enough to pan it out loud. My daughter and I loved Zodiac, and picked this strictly based on the title. Don't repeat my error. Direct-to-video porn productions are made with more care than this "movie." It looks like it was shot on a Flip video recorder, the dialog consists of endless chanting and repetition of phrases (I'm not making this up - it's extraordinarily annoying!), and the storyline is lame lame lame, even though it's supposedly based on a true story. There wasn't a shred of effort to make it look like the '70s. It calls itself a "horror" movie. It's horrible, alright. My next step is to complain to the cable company for putting this on pay-per-view - I wasted my free coupon on it. Caveat emptor!! I should have looked on IMDb first.Update: The cable company gave me another free movie - they felt guilty for showing this!Spoiler: The only reason to sit through the whole thing is the hope that the chick in the Satanic cult (or maybe the lawyer chick) will get naked. This never happens, so don't waste your time.

My cousins decided to see this on pay per view, and we definitely wished that we could refund it. After seeing the whole movie, we felt that we could have made a better movie with nothing but a camcorder (which is probably what these people used as well). The filming style is crappy, as is the acting and the effects. The Satanic worship sequences are anything but scary and are more hilarious than anything else. The main actor should probably stay away from acting as should the rest of the actors in this film. At times, they used the same actors from an older scene in a different scene. Stay as far away from this trash if you value your time.

This movie portrays the story of David Berkowitz in a dreamlike nature complete with haunting voices, star lens effects and twisting camera work going in and out of color/focus.Save yourself some time and just watch the first 20 minutes of this train wreck of a movie. Everything else is simply a repeat, both in style and form as they go from one murder to another. There must have been 10 shots of David just staring into the NY skyline experiencing schizophrenia which all appeared to be shot on the same day. Fortunately, nothing is graphic or too bloody and the murders are implied. From wooden acting to Karo syrup blood effects, the film is amateurish.Lastly, you would think that someone would at least run some of the text through a spell checker as the concluding text contained typos.
