I thought this film would be really low budget. The acting would be medicore. You know the usually faire. Just watching it for several minutes you knew they had some money to put into this. Cool. Let's see whats going to happen.
The kill scenes are brutal as fuck and done well with some great practical effects added. A smashed in head, a machete thru the face…..all that great slasher mojo that says “don’t mess me with me or you'll be fucked''. Our killer is yes…an orphan. We get a pretty decent back story on a loner who had a natural liking for violence from an early age. It also didn’t help that the nuns tortured him, made him wear a mask when he was bad and kept his back pretty scarred up with lashings and beatings. If anything in the world is to piss off a child, it’s abusive nuns who don’t have any sense of real moral ethics. Oh yeah, he had a sister. One who was taken away to much more suitable childhood upbringing. This child is the now grown up Audrey.
David Backus plays the role of the orphan killer. His approach is pretty dead on. A killer without mercy. At times, you have to wonder why he is killing every one. That is the question you ask yourself with the traditional slasher movie? Right? Though an awesome back story does more than its share of giving a great explanation.
Diane Foster is Audrey. She is nude some of the time and covered in blood... Though make no mistake, this is one tough lady who not only co-produced the film but stars in it and takes alot of onscreen abuse. I researched this actress because she was amazing in this film. As the character Audrey, she is the target of the killers interest. He tortures a priest, kills a few others and slices up a cop pretty bad. None of them take the prolonged abuse that Audrey does. Suspended by her hands in a barbed wire, she is toyed with, carved and made to endure a pretty long dose of pain herself. Her pain was so believable. I was in awe of her acting. Barb wire was used to bind, gag, string up a victum.......it was so fuckin bloody and brutal....:yes: At this point I’d love to talk about every detail, but that might keep you from checking out this gory delight. Another interesting observation is that the orphan killer grunts most of the time but then speaks rather intelligently at other times. At first I thought this might suck, but it actually makes his faceless character even more creepy. The only thing that bothered me was almost everytime a kill scene or attack, loud heavy metal music played...once or twice..okay but kinda annoying thru out. I soon forgot about that tiny flaw as I watched the gore stain my screen.
The Orphan Killer is great horror and great gore. I’m gonna have to call this one outstanding. 9/10
