Surprisingly pleasant

To be honest, I don't really get what everybody dislikes so much about this movie. "Secrets of a psychopath" is one of the smaller Horror releases, that tells the story of two murderous siblings that are in a dysfunctional relationship resulting in the murder of numerous women.

In my opinion, the story works. I'm quite sure a lot of it is scientifically nonsense but if you can ignore that it is actually quite easy to get drawn into the plot. I can't see that the film tries to make points with unnecessary sex scenes, either I missed them or my understanding of sex scenes differs a bit. At some points the movie tries to be humorous and while this is maybe a bit unneeded, I somehow liked it because it is rather subtle compared to most movies and doesn't break down the whole atmosphere.

Just a few things I noticed, randomly ordered:

1) I'm quite sure these are not the questions a psychologist would ask plus he told nothing about girls.

2) The amount of hot girls this guy collects is ridiculous. Did the producers ever try out a dating site in preparation for the film?

3) When will people learn to provide some kind of plausible context. Can they please share two sentences in the cinema at least before she starts grabbing him?

4) Somehow I dislike that everything is explained through her beauty. It's like a hierarchy stating that she is worth more than the other girls.

That said, "Secrets of a psychopath" is not a great movie, not a game changer or anything. But it is a solid and nice little Horror movie that will keep you entertained for its playtime.
