Writer/director Jeff Fisher, who cut his teeth directing episodes of such popular reality shows as The Simple Life and The Real World/Road Rules Challenge, make his feature directorial debut with this... read more read more... slasher satire about a television crew being stalked by a murderous psychopath. Up and coming television director Jake Tanner is out of a job. The reality show he was working on, "Back to the Ranch," has been cancelled, and now his agent has landed him a job as replacement director on yet another reality show - this one tracing the unlikely winning streak of a North Dakota high school hockey team. The first order of business for Jake is to contend with demanding celebutante Blanca Champion, who has been hired on as a production assistant. But Blanca doesn't seem to be taking the job too seriously, because when she's not taking cat naps or hitting on the local teenage boys, she spends most of her time researching an upcoming film role that she hopes will be her big breakthrough. Later, when Tanner's crew-members start disappearing, Blanca proves to be the least of his worries. The body count is piling up fast, but who could be responsible? Is it the bible-thumping ex-convict from the backwoods, the short-fused hockey coach, or perhaps the producer with an unhealthy fixation on ratings? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    Yet another example of a correct judging a book by its cover, Killer Movie seems to be simply suicidal. Not a film in the parody genre, this is another slasher film that Hollywood slapped together in the hopes of capturing the attention of an audience with nothing better to do. I... read more give the film credit for inventive murders and some interesting dialogue, but it was very unfortunate casting, writing, and plot that caught this film unawares. The characters were boring, and therefore I did not mind when their murdered corpses were put on display for all to see. Gratuitous sex is scattered around, but most is either nonsensical or plopped in front of us as if it fell from the sky, only there to titillate the fourteen year old boy demographic. The premise could be construed as original, but the follow through is found wanting, intercutting a reality show format between the decapitations that makes the characters unlikable. I give props to Kaley Cuoco, stepping outside of her comfort zone that includes roles of bubble headed blondes and into one...where she's a bubble headed blonde who is rather mean. Wow, what a turnaround. If you're looking for a horrific horror film, this is for you.

    Killer Movie is as by-the-numbers as a slasher can be, but I still got a decent amount of enjoyment from watching it. Yes it's painfully obvious who the killer is, but I just couldn't bring myself to hate all the cliches and unimpressive kill scenes. Plus, I thought that the faux... read more documentary format was kinda cool. Basically, I've seen much worse movies.

    Killer Movie follows the story of a reality television crew that is trying to film a nice story about a winning hockey team that is of course untill people start getting killed and the shows producer decides she wants the crew to follow that story instead but now the whole crew i... read mores stranded with a killer on the loose and the crew itself starts getting killed off one by one and almost everyone is a suspect. This movie wasnt bad but it wasnt that good either it was pretty much predictable threw out when it could have been so much better a ok watch if you wanna just waste sometime but not a must see movie by any means

    Stinker movie more like it...'90210'ish characters, dumbed down and seemingly geared toward an audience of teens. This film satirizes as well as provides commentary about reality television in the guise of a slasher film. The story stretches believability as the killer struts ar... read moreound in obvious halloween killer garb without being noticed, no police ever get involved, with too many loopholes to count. The chatacters are mostly unlikeable, so the audinece really is rather indifferent when he/she meets their demise. The light tone of the movie lessens any desire of the viewer to take the story seriously or treat this movie other than for what is is..a low budget lightweight.

    Killer Movie is a movie about a small bunch of rich kids in a small town in North Dakota who are getting hunted down by a serial murderer. This would have been a decent movie had not everything had been done so amateurishly. There is no attachment to any of the characters whatsoe... read morever so I don't understand why any viewers would care about these obnoxious teens getting slaughtered. Also, there practically isn't any back story or decent reasoning behind the mayhem. The way the movie is set up is the story moves along while some of the characters are interviewed. The thought behind this could have worked, but nothing was convincing and it sounded like everyone was reading from a script. Everything like I said earlier looked amateurish and nothing seemed to come together well. However, some people seemed to like this movie, so give it a shot if you think it might interest you. I was disappointed, but I hope someone else can receive some enjoyment from this movie. Happy watching.

    If you're watching this for Leighton Meester you need only the first 5 minutes. Otherwise, the story starts out convoluted and messy. The reveal of the killer is underwhelming, at best. And along the way the kills are not only pointless, but tame. Busto.

...suffers from a pervadingly humdrum atmosphere that effectively cements its place as a watchable yet entirely uninvolving horror endeavor. Full Review
