Psychopath (VI) (2016)
3/10
Just awful, expected more- spoilers

This movie is ridiculous. I've always been a Michael Biehn fan. I didn't even recognize him- as the actor that he is. If you watch the outtakes at the end of the movie you can see how annoyed he is with the process. ("Is somebody gonna call action?") But he is trying to be patient... Because...happy wife, happy life? The director is Jennifer Blanc-Biehn, Biehn's wife. The script sucks. Acting is awkward. I won't say the actors themselves sucked because I've seen Michael Biehn do much better work. Same with Tia Carrere. But this was not their best.

It starts with the murder of a young girl who was held captive and abused. Flashes of other victims insinuate a serial killer. Is it a horror/ thriller?! No. It's listed as a sci-fi/thriller. Well, it wasn't very thrilling and I didn't realize the sci-fi element until the end.

Although it starts with a murder he never touches the girl. She is chained and given a pot to piss in. He tells her he'd be angry if she makes a mess. She's chained, hands tied and mouth taped. Yet, when he returns the used pot has fallen over and there is a mess. Instead of consequences he sprays the mess with freshener.

The boy finds the girl and brings her food and hangs out with her. Not once does she ask him to set her free or to call the cops.

When the girls "power" is revealed it's like, "Ohhhh...that's what was going on..."

The dad throws the girl and boy in the trunk and drives them to a location to be killed and buried. (It doesn't work out for him.) They turn to see the mother. She heard the speech and saw everything -but how did she get there?!

All in all, it was an hour I needed to be stationary so it kinda helped with that.
