5 out of 5 stars Great Movie!.......2007-01-19

This was the movie my son has been waiting for. I'm glad I checked with Amazon, it made a great Christmas gift!

5 out of 5 stars Must see.......2006-03-29

After seeing this movie as a rental, I decided that I had to own it. I first came across the story I believe on Crimelibrary.com. which told the tale of the young poisoner. Curiously smitten with the story, I dug aroung and came across the film. The movie is dark and sinister with a touch of humor to lighten the subject matter, which is not laughable at all. The YP, has a serious fetish with chemicals, especially deadly ones. He then decides to start testing these products on other people, and not strangers mind you. I dont really want to explain too much, but I will say the unbelievable thing about the young man, was he showed absolutely no remorse for his actions. Which were pretty extrordinary and unforgivable to his test subjects.(One in particular) Overall, this is definately a must see even if you are not a fan of foreign films.

4 out of 5 stars great flik, sh*tty transfer!!!.......2006-03-08

i recently purchased a dvd copy of this for $10-. MY OLD VHS COPY LOOKS BETTER THAN THIS TRANSFER. if you still have a vcr at home then do yourself a favor, buy a vhs copy & enjoy... otherwise, this is a great movie w/ lots of style & a nasty sense of humor!!! would be 5 stars if not for the lack-luster, seemingly 3rd generation video tape transfer picture quality... this movie deserves a proper dvd release(i.e. picture restoration, orig. aspect ratio, sound restoration, etc.) WATCH IT!!!

4 out of 5 stars Typical British Style.......2005-09-14

Although this movie is based on fact, it still however is very worth the viewers time to watch. British films are often hard to watch or comprehend by Americans, but this movie does not fall in this category. I wish more films such as this were available to Americans.

4 out of 5 stars Young Poisoner.......2005-05-30

This movie is all from the point of view of a young man who poisons his family, schoolmates, and a lot other people who he runs into. Even though he is a horrible person because you see the movie through his eyes you almost want him to get away with it. Because you see his reasons for why he does what he does you almost understand him. At one point of this movie, I was like "Oh yeah you gotta kill him." This movie is great but not all people I think will enjoy it as much as I did.
