Review:
Kinky Killers or Polycarp as it is formally known as. Should be re-titled PolyCRAP or any other horrible acronym you can up with for a shitty film. As this movie is a straight to the burn pile special with little to nothing of value either in plot, production or value. It is simply just a waste of time and effort in movie production and money.
So what makes this movie Kinky Crappers so bad? Let's start off with the story that has no legs. It is about Biblical passages about the second coming of Christ or in this case the Devil and how they need sever different body parts to fulfill the seven churches in the book of Revelations. Sadly this plot point which is ultimately the main plot point is never brought out till the last twenty minutes of the movie. At which point the lead up to it is nil and the suspense of which is completely non-existent because of the poorly written script.
Instead what get is a scene of a badly shot murder. Followed by a scene bad acting and then a sex scene. This pacing is persistent and so boring through out that you can honestly fast forward to each badly shot sex scene and say this is your movie here. Which equates to little more than a hand job special skinamax production that even puts those films to shame.
All because this movie tried to be serious and fails in every possible way. To a point that if you make it to the end you wish for you death at the hands of the cast. As they have poked and prodded your soul to the brink of death with its complete and horrible nature. But nothing beats the saddest part of this damn movie. That is seeing a wonderful actor being reduced to a shell of a man that he is.
That being the great Charles Durning whose acting credits include such movies as Dog Day Afternoon and the Sting. I do not know if he was hurting for cash or just wanted one of those last hurrahs? Either which way he was a wasted talent on screen and hardly the gruff and raw actor of his youth. Which is so very sad and demoralizing to see.
Which is even more sad as this is the black spot on a wonderful career for Mr. Durning thankfully it is not enough to make me ever hate him. As he will always be Lt. Wm. Snyder to me from The Sting and not this hallowed carcass of a man in this PolyCraptastic movie!
My Rating 0 out of 5 Stars
Saw Kinky Killers on Showtime a few times, it wasn't that bad. The writing was good if you like psycho thrillers and acting good at points. Liked Pare in it and the little witch and Durning and his son were interesting. If you wanted a horror film from this as it was positioned then I see the disappointment but it's nowhere near as bad as you say.
