I only tracked this down because of the ludicrously high ratings this film has on here. The reviews are all glowing and make the film sound great. The truth? It's a complete waste of time. The idea is different and would be pretty cool if the film itself wasn't so poor. It is literally a film crew following around a wannabe serial killer as he plans and commits his crimes, but instead of being unnerved and freaked out by his actions, the film crew seem completely at ease with proceedings. The acting is atrocious, the films crew are so completely annoying that it's hard to give them any credibility. The guy who plays Leslie Vernon is more like a Jim Carrey impersonator than a serious threat to the likes of Michael Myers, Freddie Kruger and Jason Voorhees. I have read countless reviews saying how witty and humorous this film is...WHERE? It is simply full of college type jokes and juvenile gags. I see this film being compared to Scream but that is an insult to Wes Craven. In retrospect, this film is a cheap, tacky, pale imitation of a typical slasher flick. It is dull, boring, unfunny, poorly acted, poorly scripted and a complete waste of over 90 minutes. What Robert England was doing in this is beyond me. Awful film.
