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.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

mistoppi The Victim was the second movie in my Night Visions Psycho Killers box. I didn't really have any expectations apart from the really short summary on the back of the box. The summary said this film "oozes" sex, that's kind of the only description tat I remembered when watching The Victim. Well that was correct. This film practically shoved sex down your throat with few scenes where it felt completely forced. I like the writing of this film, but there were few embarrassing parts because of this. Some of the sex scenes, some make you wonder if the writer(s) actually thought how stupid and sudden something was?I said I like the writing, and that's true. The structure of the story is very good. The narrative is non-chronological, and it's easy to see when there flashbacks occur. The filmmakers probably made it too clear considering the transitions from present to flashback and the other way around are emphasized by actual flashes. The audience will get it, considering the setting changes drastically and Jennifer Blanc's character spaces out briefly. The story itself is extremely interesting and the dialogue is smooth, apart from what I said before. I especially like any scene with just Blanc's character Annie and her friend Mary. Their chemistry is unbelievably good and the dialogue is very genuine. It reminds me of Death Proof.But what seems bad about this movie is the execution. The story is excellent, but the writing alone can't hold a movie. The cinematography and editing are sloppy, and there are several scenes that are way too long while nothing's actually happening. If you want an example, in the beginning there's a weirdly long and boring scene with Kyle (I hope I'm remembering that correctly) driving a car. They could've put the opening credits on that scene so it wouldn't be so annoying to watch. And I get that long scenes might be an artistic choice by the director, but in this case they didn't make the movie any more thrilling or frustrating in the good way, it is just really annoying to watch and wait the action to start. Yet luckily this movie is still short, so the scenes aren't stretched too much, just a few in the beginning, after that it's easier to watch.The Victim is a decent film. It's worth watching because of the story, but there are a lot of annoying details. I like this movie, yet I don't think it could ever become one of my favourites, and I don't see myself watching it again for a while. The story deserved a better execution.

Jan Strydom The decision to watch THE VICTIM was really tough at first having read all the negative reviews about it. Eventually I did see it and yet it isn't that bad. Sure it won't redefine it's genre but the film was entertaining, it had a decent plot and the acting was fair all around. The film is really for people with an acquired taste.Honestly, the only way I could recommend this film is to see it and decide if you like it or not for yourself. I also recommend you not take it very seriously.Overall, THE VICTIM isn't really that bad, granted it's not perfect but it will mostly appeal to people with an acquired taste. Also, if you don't take it very seriously it is rather entertaining.

juliendelattre First of all Michael Biehn is an excellent director. He really showed the mind of a killer. I was happy to see two of my favorite actresses Danielle Harris and Jennifer Blanc-Biehn. They really work well together on screen. I never seen a cop like that in a movie in a while. Ryan Honey was a little bit psychotic as a cop. The music was perfect for the movie. I love movies where the special effects is done practically. it looks real on screen. The camera shots were incredible. It must be difficult to direct and act in your own movie but Michael Biehn did it nicely. There were some beautiful locations like Kyle's Cabin. Jennifer Blanc-Biehn is another kind of heroine. She was really scared. I do recommend this movie to people who likes Grindhouse Films.

drdeathforpresident Who wrote this? a bunch of monkeys! This is crap. The reviewers are lemmings. Everyone is afraid to offend. Michael Biehn, I want to thank you for stealing 80 minutes of my life. If you like poor acting and people driving around a mountain road then have I got the film for you.Barely any nudity. No gore but lots of bore.This is not a horror film.It is a horrible film.I do recommend this for those who suffer from insomnia.Please stop cranking out meaningless garbage. Go back and watch Halloween.That was low budget yet original suspenseful and fun.
