Amateurish, but not as bad as it looks

The first thing you should know about "Zipperface" is that it was shot on video, so it has that peculiar "home-video-ish" look that is terribly distracting and makes it hard to take this seriously as a "real" film. And "Zipperface" indeed looks as if a bunch of amateurs got together for an attempt at a "real" serial-killer thriller. It's not quite that, but it's not as bad as it looks, either. Having a woman as one of the two detectives on the case puts a spin on the exploitation genre. Dona Adams gives an appealingly amateurish performance in the role - her obvious inexperience in front of the camera somehow works for her. Plus, she puts up a GREAT fight against the killer at the end. The red herrings appear ludicrous at first, but ultimately they work - I guessed the killer INcorrectly. And you have to wonder if perhaps Tarantino had seen the Zipperface guy when he came up with the idea of "The Gimp" for "Pulp Fiction". (*1/2)

Zzzzzipperface.

There's someone killing S&M prostitutes in a small Californian town and the police are having a hard time catching him. A recently promoted female detective is on the case and, despite the fact she's just there to fill a quota, she's trying to take him down.I have to say that the killer looks pretty cool. Very intimidating. But, as for the rest of the film, well it's all a pretty lame affair. We have as much trouble finding Zipperface as the police do in this film because he very rarely makes an appearance. The rest of the runtime seems to be fairly boring kitchen sink drama.So, as a cop would say at a crime scene. "Move along folks, nothing to see here. Move along."
