This is one of my personal faves and a pure classic of ultra violent cinema. It charts the progress of serial killer Ben and the film crew who decide to follow his exploits, which include shootings, throttling, raping and a general mayhem. Obviously the film crew are disgusted by his actions and are terrified of the man to begin with. But with time they grow used to the carnage and eventually participate in the final murders and rapes. This one was never going to have a happy ending and they're luck finally runs out in a fantastic final section of the film. I'm not giving much away am I? This is a film you must watch unprepared for , to experience the gritty realism of the killings which will shock anyone and the black humour with which they are carried out. This has to be one of the most brutal films legitimately available in the UK.
Get it, it's that simple.
