Sadsack Henry Pinkle (an excellent and credible performance by Michael St. Gerard) sinks into a suicidal depression after his favorite TV show gets canceled. Sinister and mysterious agent Sam Bones (marvelously played with lip-smacking wicked relish by John P. Ryan) encourages Henry to follow his advice to becoming a star on the news by assuming the lethal persona of a psycho called "The Baby Face Killer."

Writer/director Alexander Cassini's offbeat and intriguing film not only serves as an intelligent and provocative meditation on American culture's obsession with celebrity, how the oversaturation of the media in the modern world can easily blur the fine line between fantasy and reality, and the basic human need to amount to something, but also makes a chilling central point on how loneliness and alienation can make someone dangerously unstable. Gerard and Ryan both do sterling work in their roles. Maureen Teefy lends sturdy support as concerned social worker Wendy. The handsome cinematography by Fernando Arguelles offers a wealth of striking surreal images. Blake Leyh's quirky score adds to the overall oddball mood. Recommended viewing for fans of idiosyncratic indie horror fare.

This movie, while superbly written, and acted in by top notch thespians, is kind of like The Twilight Zone on crack/cocaine. Alexander Cassini wrote and directed a masterpiece here. Easy as top notch, as TCM or Pyscho. Some aspects can't help but be repeated through-out the ages as there are 100's of suspense horror movies, but as everyone else typed, John P. Ryan is an excellent Devil/inner dark id. Brilliantly written accounts acted by St. Gerard as a scared and screwed up "psycho killer". The end is amazing too. Very much like The Twilight Zone or Tales From The Crypt. Repetition isn't always bad. The roles acted even with a lesser extent Teefy's character is awesome. They have this title on Amazon as of this writing. If you can't rent it, buy it. If you think it sucks sell it to me. I like it. I watch ten copies of it. This movie though is trippy. It almost drives you cooky as he is going to said place, in the beginning. The first thirty minutes of this movie is worth the watch. I agree with people before me. Hidden gem...

If you really enjoy slasher movies like "Halloween" or "My Bloody Valentine," you'll probably hate this film. It's an arthouse thriller examining mental illness and just happens to feature a mass murderer as the protagonist. You won't find any gory deaths or teenager cliches in this movie.

My only major complaint was that it was so short. 84 minutes just wasn't enough.
