Summary: ABSOLUTE TRIPE!
Review: A saturday night walk to our local video store was about to change my girlfriend and my own life forever. Whilst browsing the shelves at the store we noticed 'Diary of a serial killer' staring screen legend mr gary busey. Once we arrived home we popped the dvd in the machine and off we went. Well, were do i start. This is without doubt the most badly acted and appalling movie ever made. Please find listed our reasons for hating this film:- 1) GARY BUSEY....his wooden acting is hilarious, check out some of his reactions when facing a deadly serial killer, like he has just met his granny for tea. He shows no real emotion when find dead bodies....his TEETH....his awful cheesy grins......his chunky brown cords 2) THE MISTAKES.....plastic bottle........putting in a stunt double for busey, with the most ridiculous wig on, check out when busey is knocked down by vosloo at the end....its not him lying there. 3) THE EXTRAS 4) THE DIALOGUE...for example 'i'm hungry, i'd like a hot dog'

THIS IS THE WORST FILM EVER MADE AND WE HAVE WATCHED IT 30 TIMES OR MORE IN 3 MONTHS......BUSEY< YOU ARE SO RUBBISH< YOU KEN BARLOW LOOKALIKE

Summary: Great Expectaions result in disappointment
Review: After falling in lust with Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep in "The Mummy", I quickly tried to find more films with him in them. Unfortunately he was unable to raise the believability and entertainment level in this movie, although he does portray a sexy yet chilling serial killer. With such talented actors as Vosloo and Gary Busey, I was expecting a decent movie, but as soon as I saw Michael Madsen was in it, I should have realized it wasn't even a B movie. It was worth watching only because of the screen time Arnold is in it . If you are not a Vosloo fan, take my advice and skip it!! There are better ways to spend a couple of hours - chiefly, seeing "The Mummy" yet again in a comfortable air conditioned movie theatre.

Summary: DIARY-EA
Review: Gary Busey and Arnold Vosloo star in this lukewarm thriller, diminished by a pedestrian script and its failure to really be a "diary". We don't really find out why Vosloo does what he does. While Vosloo's performance is effectively chilling, Busey is horribly miscast. His journalist role is weakly performed, and little conviction is evidenced in his relationship with Vosloo or his live in girl friend (the lovely Julia Campbell). Add Michael Masden (B movie's Bruce Willis) as a cop whose daughter was killed by a serial killer and Reno Wilson as his obligatory African American partner, and the soup thickens. Masden sleepwalks and Wilson tries to be Ice T. Wilson's actions at the end of the movie are highly unprofessional and hard to swallow.
This could have been a better movie with a tighter script and someone else in Busey's role.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: pretty good
Review: I kept getting the feeling that there was too much cut from this movie. I'd love to see an uncut version... of course, maybe it's just wishful thinking.. you know, that some of the holes in the movie would be filled in. Still, overall it's a good movie, if you can get past the little things (can't think of any examples right now, but just little things that they don't bother to explain).

Summary: A Matter of Opinion
Review: I really enjoyed this movie which stars two of my favorite actors: Gary Busey and Michael Madsen. I only recently became a fan of Arnold Vosloo and want to see this movie again all the more. I definitely recommend it. The movie held my attention all the way through, and I really liked the ending, which I won't give away. Look elsewhere if you're looking for a Best Picture nominee, but if you're looking for a movie that's entertaining, I recommend renting or buying this video.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Matter of Opinion
Review: I rented this just to see Arnold Vosloo. He looks great, but the movie is dumb. I'm not a horror fan, so I can't compare this film to others in the genre, but the story is pretty weak. And Gury Busey is fat and sluggish in his role (literally and figuratively). I couldn't believe how weak his character is... especially in the scene where he stands there and evespdrops during a murder. I kept shouting "do something!". Even Arnold loses his edge sometimes when the script calls for him too talk to much... sometimes less is more. But if you are a Vosloo fan, you can't miss this one.

Rating: 2 stars
