Good Lead Performance But That's About It

Dv (2013) 

* (out of 4) 

Evan Jacobs wrote, directs and plays the lead in this film, which was originally planned as a three hour movie but it was then cut down into three different films. This first film has Jacobs playing a serial killer who goes around with a camera recording himself so that he can learn from what he's doing.

DV clocks in at just over a hour and it's pretty hard to sit through. I will say that I thought Jacobs was a fine actor and his good performance is the only thing that kept the film from becoming a complete disaster. I also respect what he was going for but sadly it just doesn't work. This is meant to get inside the mind of a serial killer but the film just never does that and there's certainly no psychological suspense to be had here. I also thought the camera-work was quite ugly and there are a few times where the screen goes to black and this here wasn't the greatest idea.

I am interested to see what other films Jacobs has in him. Even though I really didn't like this movie there was still enough in it to make me seek out the sequels as well as the director's other films.

The horror genre features stories that aim to elicit fear, suspense, and a sense of dread in its audience. Horror stories often explore themes related to the unknown, the supernatural, and the macabre, and they frequently evoke strong emotional reactions such as anxiety, terror, and unease.

James, a serial killer, has taken to recording his life so that he can examine it and stay one step ahead of the authorities. He soon finds himself hunted by one of his victims.
