Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
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.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Leofwine_draca SOCIOPATHIA is a lame attempt at a psychological horror movie, a simple gender-swap rip-off of the banned classic MANIAC. The story is about a dull woman who works making special effects props by day and who kills her lovers by night, turning them into human dolls to keep her company. This dull film features indifferent acting and lots of sexual content, but not much else. A lot of effort has obviously gone in to make it quite nice looking at times but why bother when the film has no voice, no personality, and certainly no sense of menace or disquiet.
Woodyanders Deranged and introverted, but still endearing kook Mara (a credible and sympathetic performance by the adorable Tammy Jean) has a job making props for movies. Things seem to pick up for Mara after she meets and falls for perky producer Kat (a winningly spunky portrayal by Asta Parades), but after their heated relationship falters Mara loses her already tenuous grasp on reality and goes off the murderous deep end.Directors Ruby Larocca and Rich Mallery do a sturdy and compelling job of astutely capturing Mara's unhinged state of mind (the scenes with Mara talking to various toys and the rotting bodies of her victims are genuinely creepy and unsettling), ground the macabre premise in a plausible everyday world, and deliver a satisfying smattering of tasty distaff nudity and steamy soft-core sex along with a handy helping of nasty gore. The crackling erotic tension between the attractive and enticing leads provides plenty of extra sizzle. However, this film's key triumph is the remarkable way it depicts Mara as a tragic and troubled person who evokes a complex mix of fear and pity from the viewer. Kudos are also in order for Jared Noe's crisp cinematography and Sean Burnell's shuddery score. A solid little fright flick.
shawnblackman This one was directed by Ruby Larocca who everybody knows from Orgasm Torture In Satan's Rape Clinic (2004). Story centres around a prop builder who we quickly find out doesn't have all her buttons and as a result she throws on a mask and kills people always getting blood everywhere.The film just ends up being a female version of Maniac (1980) which is probably her homage of sorts but it comes too close to Maniac (2012) release which still leaves a bad taste.I guess for Ruby's first time directing its not bad. Film quality is good as well.
quincytheodore The idea of psycho lady hunting attractive lesbian girls, among others, while performing risqué act might just be presentable enough for horror, although with such weak acting, repetitive plot and shifty production, "Sociopathia" is a lot of tacky cosmetic with any substance. The lead actress simply can't deliver the depth of character needed for a thriller. Meanwhile the supporting cast, in exception of one, looks more convincing as corpses than actual characters.It tries to deliver a perspective of the antagonist as she struggle with mental disorder, it also has the benefit of playing around artificial props which already have inherited creepiness about them. However, the performance from the entire cast can be sum up to either girls throwing tantrum or over zealously and superficially seductive. Things get worse when they scream at each other, it's borderline numbing at this point.It's also far from scary as well. This is nothing more than masked person randomly chopping people without any concrete plan. The chopping itself is utterly ridiculous, using overdose of blood even when she just pushes people or when the movies pulls off horror cliché of stupid victims flailing about at their last moments. This overblown proportion translates into the sensual scenes. Yes, let there be nudity aplenty.Granted, the ladies are admittedly attractive, in fact they are more effective when delivering no dialogue. The notion of living doll itself is sufficiently creepy. Asta Paredes as Kat is the better performer here, she exudes more personality than the rest, and her character is easily identifiable with one or two quirks. Still, the movie tends to revert back to silly style when it looks like it almost gains any momentum.It may have a few glints of horror potential and flashy cosmetics, but "Sociopathia" is simply lacking acting prowess and general presentation to be a decent horror.
