vichmd Stay away from this "film." I am unable to give a thorough, comprehensive review because I could not get beyond the first 22 minutes. It was really that bad. The first 22 minutes consisted of David walking around NYC gazing off into space interspersed with scenes of a bunch of people chanting at a Satanic cult. The special effects were awful and clearly low budget. The acting was amateurish. You can't fault the actors completely, because they clearly had little to work with in the way of dialogue, lighting, or quality recording equipment. If I were them, I would keep this part of their career a secret. I would not put my worst enemies through this.

ilovemygoats Ulli is without a doubt the worst director is cinematic history. This mess of a movie proves that without any argument. Perhaps if he would actually try to make a real movie instead of "art house trash", he would make something watchable. The only good thing about his movies is that one can hit fast forward for at least 60% of each film and get done faster and therefore waste less time out ones daily grind. Ulli's movies are so bad, that "Plan 9 From Outerspace", the deliciously bad movie and "Attack of the Killer Tomato(e)s", would have a uncontested win in the Best Picture category at the Oscars! Ulli's movies are so bad that Uwe's films look like masterpieces.The continual shots of the Satanic rituals got old after the first one. Each one making less and less sense. The shots of "Son of Sam" just wondering around became so nonsensical after the first two times.Somebody please keep this man from wasting any more of our lives by making any further films!

Joseph P. Ulibas Son of Sam is another release from Ulli Lommel's Hollywood House of Horror. The film chronicles the murders committed by psycho David Berkowitz. We watch David walk around New York, listening to the voices in his head and shooting several people. He's apprehended and tells his lawyer about the cult he was involved in, the voices and a chocolate Labrador named Sam. How or why he killed, you'll have to watch and find out.Lommel shot this on DV and used members of his acting troupe Cassandra Church, Elissa Dowling, Gunther Ziegler, Nola Roper, Christian Behm and Ulli Lommel himself as Father Duncan. An entertaining film that'll have you either laughing , shocked or fascinated. Kudos for Lommel for trying to keep the film's wardrobe and hairstyle 70's style.

horrorcritic72 All the other reviewers are holding Ulli's other films against him. This one is easily his best in a long time and maybe the best attempt at capturing the real berkowitz on film.If you saw Spike Lee's Summer of Sam then you know it did a pretty bad job at portraying Berkowitz and focused more on the community and the fear and hysteria that it had to deal with. This may be relevant to Spike Lee having grown up out in 1970s New York but I don't see how that was more important than David Berkowitz himself and how many people are going to relate to a film more so aimed at capturing the 70s in New York.Ulli got it right this time and he must have done some homework as there are a few things that happen in this film(wont reveal the spoilers) that have definitely never been in a son of sam film and are directly from his life. I know its not perfect by any means but the Satanic cult backdrop and the use of the talking dog clearly showed an ambitious attempt at portraying Son of Sam correctly versus making him look like a brainless idiot (like Spike Lee's version) and if your a horror fan I don't see how you would think Lees film is better as its a bad drama. I'd like to see a studio do a film on Berkowitz and if they do they should definitely check this out for reference.
