Review of the 2005 film The Man Behind The Scissors. Although I found this one in the horror section of Best Buy, it really has far more in common with a psychological crime thriller. For a movie where the killer's weapon of choice is a pair of scissors, there wasn't that much blood! Still, an interesting human drama.

Awesome review! Might check it out soon. By the way, I've always wondered...what are your rating criteria? I mean like...it sounds like an interesting movie but 6/10 seems pretty low.

[rodgerswan]

ahh well a 5 to me is average, which means an ok film. Honestly I don't care for review scores as they are quite subjective haha, but yeah, the film is pretty neat and worth checking out.

O________O Dude! While your reviewing I can't help but get distracted by you "snip snip".

Like like

"review not as gory -snip snip- more of a thriller -snip snip- " lol I can tell you love the scissors.

Should we be worried?
