The Perfect Witness/The Ungodly (2008)

Summary: Mick catches a murder on film and soon realizes, he’s stumbled upon a serial killer. Thinking he has the upperhand, he tries to blackmail the guy and use the footage for his own personal benefit. But his subject is a true killer and as such, just biding his time to turn thee tables on Mick. And once he does, Mick will realize he’s in a brand new world of hurt.           Overall: I never thought this film would work even before I put it into the dvd player. We’ve seen this concept a few times before, and those films didn’t work either. So here we go and the film fails in the same ways the others have. Not realistic on anyone’s part and how come you end up blackmailing a serial killer but do not then take the time to protect your family? How is it the killer doesn’t call the bluff and just kill the blackmailer? And frankly, once a killer knows u know…do you really think the two people can go their separate ways and be pals?           Anyway, the film tries to then portray our killer as misunderstood and victim in his own way. The film motors down that path but frankly, once you realize what happened to the guy years ago and everything…sorta don’t buy anything anymore.           Skip it.           Comparison: Rough Draft meets Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer
