Head Case is a raw, gruesome (and at times, darkly comedic) 'found footage' style horror film about a serial killer who videotapes his crimes, while his wife watches (and occasionally participates). The film is unapologetic in its brutality and isn't afraid to go places some horror films won't. Paul McCloskey plays serial killer Wayne Montgomery with a dry, deadpan demeanor that is both creepy and endearing. His wife Andrea (Barbara Lessin) provides some of the film's comic relief, as she watches her husband commit murder after murder while commenting (and sometimes critiquing) his work. The familiarity of the characters hit home for me (I know people just like Wayne and Andrea), which added to the overall creepiness of the film. Head Case is certainly not for all tastes, but I liked it.
