mauro volvox I wonder where people get ideas to make this sort of tripeThe whole thing is painful to watch. The main "actress" is as annoying as having a pencil pushed through one's nostril.The shaky camera is vomit inducing.And the idea of two morons pairing to kill a random person is revolting.I skipped though most of this abomination and 2-3 minutes were enough to learn that the writers, directors, whatever, should be locked up in a a high-security mental institution for the criminally insane.

songod-95003 This foray into mental illness would not have been possible without the terrific acting of the leads, especially Jennifer Fraser. According to IMDb this is her first movie but I cannot believe this is her first acting job. As both the protagonist and antagonist she truly makes us believe she is who she plays.The actor playing the other lead also is exceptional, though the characters sudden change of perspective mid-way is a bit too sudden. That of course can be attributed to the script and possibly the director.The film also gets pluses for actually having an ending. So many movies today, especially in the hand held\found footage genre, just end without a denouement; leaving the audience to wonder what happened\what will happen. No, this is clear and concise.I wish I could give it more than a 6 but the sudden switch in character tone mid-way which pitted the two leads against each other simply didn't click with me. Had the turnabout character been only playing along to appease their kinky partner that should have shown through more in the first act. Instead, out of nowhere, they becomes reluctant to the point of blaming everything on the other! Regardless, highly recommended if for nothing more than the star making performance by Jennifer Fraser.

jdollak Capture Kill Release is a fascinating movie. I don't know if I'll ever re-watch it, but I think I'll remember it pretty clearly.It doesn't start off with a bang, but it builds and hooks interest pretty well. I can imagine if this were a bigger budget, and had more studio control, they would want to start it off with a bit of the future to whet the audience's appetite.A large amount of time is spent getting sucked into conversations and preparation for killing a person. The logistical talks, buying equipment. There's even a test, using a saber saw on chunks of meat to see how well it performs.This is a pleasant change of pace. We see lots of horror movies where the killer has some chamber of horrors already prepared, hanging hooks and implements of torture laid out. But this is more of an exploration of the steps needed to reach that state.That may sound boring, but it brings a level of realism and humanity to the movie that is much more disturbing. We are able to identify with the characters - at least for a while.Our primary window into this movie is through the husband, who starts off fairly interested in this project, but realizes the reality of what is happening pretty quickly. His interest in killing is romanticized by movies, where the victims might not have a defined identity. He brings this up; he's bothered when she keeps referring to their victim by name.Throughout the movie, I thought I knew how things were going to end. Instead, the last few minutes kept reinforcing what I was expecting, only to subvert it at the last second.As many people have mentioned, there is the death of a cat in this movie. It is distressing, but it's also needed in order to move things forward. It could have been done a different way, but I'm not sure if it would have been effective. To be fair, it's handled quickly, and not graphically.

jtindahouse I wanted to like 'Capture Kill Release', I really did. I'm a big fan of the "found footage" genre. It has produced some of my favourite horror films because it can be a very effective tool when used correctly. 'Capture Kill Release' however, was not a film that should have used it. The point of using it is to make things feel as realistic as possible and thus more scary. The way this film used it though had the opposite effect. Instead, I kept thinking to myself how absurd it was that they were filming this and how completely unrealistic the whole thing was.Another problem I had with this movie was it that it was supposed to be a horror, yet it never once feels like a horror other than the odd bit of gruesome dismemberment. It plays out more like a drama. And that would be fine if that was what they were intending (in fact I think that would have made for a much better film had it focused itself in that direction), but you can clearly tell that they were indeed trying to make a horror movie and simply failed miserably. Add in some pretty horrible acting from the entire cast and you have a complete misfire. A 90 minute film should never feel this long, dull and drawn out. There are some brilliant films out there in the "found footage" genre. I suggest watching one of those instead.
