Customer Reviews of Nightstalker
Uninspired Trip The story of 1985, notorious serial killer, Richard Ramirez,
who assumed he was under the influence of Satan powers, whilst raping/murdering his 7 victims in LA. Anyone with half a brain would realise that this man was under no satanic power, but under the hypnotism of cheap 'Angel Dust'...
Now, to the film. Well the film brings in much grit & grime,
showing us most of the rapes/murders. Problem is that the only times we get a little insight to Ramirez/Nightstalker is only when the satanic fella is committing the murderers.
And believe me, it isn't much.
What takes up most of the footage are inside dramas of the detectives & beat-cops on the investigation, which is quite cliched anyway.
The good part of the film, even though repetitive after a while, is the camera-work/editing when Ramirez hallucinates the demon following him, whenever evil sparks inside of him.
This looks very trippy & freaky. Great with any kind of acid.
Oh yes, and the film is ONLY inspired by Ramirez's murders,
this isn't a re-telling of the events that happenend in 1985.
So don't be disappointed if you realise that you are watching a b-movie rip-off of Seven, instead of Ramirez's biopic.
Not the worst ever, or even bad at all.
If you're like me and you love a good arty film and could care less about what pleases the masses, than you should have no problem enjoying this film. The inventive camera work alone is worth the purchase. True it's similar to jacobs ladder, but it is used for it's own purpose and it serves the film well. Those who can't handle creative cinematography, stop now and save yourself the headache. Those of us with a taste for the surreal have a lot to chew on. The only real drawbacks of the film are that Ramirez, in life was a real character. He wasn't just a loon, he was an interesting person. It would have been nice to see that side of him expressed in the film. Also, the Sandra Bullock lookalike as the police woman who catches Ramirez. Nice plastic surgery babe. And lastly, the plot didn't stick completely to the facts. However, the essence and the overall story is true. Also the film is sick and disturbing as it should be. You're a hardened person if you can watch this movie without being even remotely disturbed. I did enjoy how the filmmakers portrayed Ramirez's relationship with his demon. A spiritual entity who possesses him and who commands him to kill, but later betrays him and leaves him to be caught. I also loved the Industrial and Death Metal soundtrack which added to the frantic approach. Overall I found it to be a very entertaining film, giving us a glimpse at the psychosis and spiritual struggle within Ramirez rather than a more digestable and "normal" approach. It was wonderfully demented and a good movie. It would have been better if they stuck closer to the facts however.
The WORST movie i have ever seen!
Being a true crime fanatic, i was very much looking forward to this film. I suffered the entire length of this movie and could not have been more disappointed.
Firstly, on the back of the DVD, it refers to the killer as 'robert ramirez' not Richard Ramirez. That alone should have prepared me for the levels of authenticity! it is packed to the gills with fiction and the directors/producers/screen writers should have their fingers removed.
who ever called "gigli" as the worst movie ever made had obviously never seen this steaming pile of CRAP!
