8/10
Finally, an indie slasher film worth watching.
31 March 2012
Finally, finally there comes along an independent horror film worth watching. It would be easy to look at the description and dismiss this as just another slasher film, but it's not. For an independent film, it's clear that they had a decent budget, and that the filmmakers were truly passionate about the project.

I'm not going to go too much into the plot, because it's fairly straightforward, but the kills and gore are excellent, and this film has a level of pure brutality that sometimes makes you cringe, especially when the killer is torturing his sister. It's very intense, and actress Diane Foster is a real trooper, given what Director Matt Farnsworth puts her through.

I highly encourage everyone NOT to listen to the haters out there who are trashing this film simply because their film didn't make it. This is a good, independent film that delivers, as opposed to the hundreds of indie horror films out there that look exactly like they were shot in someone's backyard for $500.

I admit that I am every so slightly biased because this movie was filmed in my old elementary school, as well as several other places throughout my hometown, but that just adds to the experience for me.

Give "The Orphan Killer" a chance. You will NOT be disappointed!
