GamerTab That was an excellent one.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Bill357 I once read a book entitled The Ultimate Evil, whose main claim was that David Berkowitz wasn't THE .44 killer but one of a revolving series of murderers sent out by a satanic offshoot of Scientology that called itself The Process! The book was very thick and detailed it's conspiracy theories told very convincingly, detailing very strange stories about this shadowy cult and it's connections to other killings including those of the Manson family! It also talked about suspicious deaths of acquaintances of Berkowitz.I thought it was very far-fetched but then I saw an hour long A&E show where David Berkowitz himself said it was all true! The reason I'm telling you this is that the whole son of Sam affair is an exploitation goldmine that has yet to be properly mined!Son Of Sam is better than Ulli Lommel's other serial killer video productions but that's not saying much. This is probably due to the fact that the David Berkowitz story is better suited to the cerebral stylings of our pal Ulli. However, this could have been a helluva lot better with a traditional script and a conspiracy theory angle detailing all the whacked out stories of The Church Of The Process, alleged snuff film of of one of the murders, etcetera.For more information on why I bothered to watch this, please read my review entitled: Battered Lommel Syndrome in the comment section for Dungeon Girl.
ilovemygoats 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!
garej704 Terrible in every way...Elementary students could have done better making it up as they go along. Acting? None I picked this up in one of the Movie Vending machines where i thought at least they were studio movies. This proves that wrong. Guess someone got a camera with a few special effects and made a movie. This was done with really actors (Ok they're is no way these people take their selves seriously as acting as a career). No i am not watching this movie all the way through. I decided to just write this to spare someone from even putting this in there DVD player. I didn't even go into the sounds of all the mumbling people! What is up with that. Was that supposed to be scary or disturbing. It is just horrendous.
billyroberts15 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.
