There are good and bad things about Who's Watching Oliver. If you like brutal or/and disturbing scenes then I'm sure you will like the ones in this movie. They are pretty hardcore but they fit perfectly well with the deranged character of Oliver. Russell Geoffrey Banks did a good job playing Oliver, you kinda want to call the police as soon as you see him. The weakest link of this movie was Margaret Roche, playing Mama. That could have been much creepier than it actually was. The story is also not very complicated, but for some thrashy horror movie it will do. Overal it's not a bad movie, not for the faint of heart though.

Under the orders of his mother, Oliver takes women back to his apartment where he drugs, rapes and murders them whilst his mother watches via a video link. At first I thought Oliver was meant to be comedic character but no, there is no humour to be found here.

Although competent on a technical level, Who's Watching Oliver is a shallow, poorly acted, violent rape fantasy. The murder scenes are vile and the rest is just boring. I normally love dark/disturbing/horror films but I feel like a bad person just having watched this. The film asks the viewer to be cool with Oliver being a rapist and murderer of women - and I'm really not, sorry.

Directed by Ritchie Moore, Who's Watching Oliver is an indie horror film that stars Sarah M. Lane, Margaret Roche, and Russel G. Banks as the titular character. Now I'm going to be completely honest and say that Sarah M. Lane is in fact the reason that I watched this flick. When it came to that point, I began to wonder what she'd bring to the table. And as the film went on, she, surprisingly enough, did not disappoint. She was full of charisma in almost every scene she was in as the love-interest, Sophia.

Now with said actress out of the way, I should obviously share my thoughts on the star himself. I'm not too familiar with him, but Russel G. Banks was (again, surprisingly) beyond spot-on as the titular character. When he first appeared onscreen, I didn't know what to expect from him. At first, he seemed like the typical modern-day incel. But as the film went on, I actually grew to sympathize with him; I'll even go as far as to say that I was actually rooting for him at one point.

Now with all of that said, my one and only critisism with the film lies with the after-credit-scene. I mean, come on, the film (at least, to me) had the perfect conclusion. During the climax, Oliver contemplates on taking the life of Sophia by his own mother's orders; she, of course, was pulling the strings throughout. Even Sophia herself gives in and encourages Oliver to do it. But said character (seemingly enough) puts his foot down and refuses to commit the act, leading both him and her to close the laptop (which he and his mother have been using to communicate with) down. It then (seemingly) ends with the couple making sweet, sweet love. And as soon as the credits started rolling, that was enough for me to give it a solid 8/10.

I then went to use the bathroom, but when I got back, I was quite shocked to find out that there was actually an after-credit-scene, and that is where my biggest gripe lands. Now, if you haven't seen the film (all the way through),let's just say that it is one of the biggest middle-finger-to-the-audience-moments I have ever seen on screen; had it not been for those last fifteen seconds, I would've given the film said rating.

My final verdict, 7.5/10
