Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

To me, this movie is perfection.

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This was relentless. Relentlessly dull and unimaginative. It looks to be a sequel of sorts to the first one, entitled "The Ritual." This one was done in a more DiscoveryID docudrama way, which didn't really help it at all. The older characters were dumpy and bland, and the young 'proteges' were lackluster. The video footage portraying the 'murders' lacked any sort of realism. The only one that I was discomfited by was the anal rape with the bowie knife.Both Montgomery's mother and wife were the ultimate uberbi****s, which really underscored Montgomery's milquetoast demeanor. I mean, I get that a serial killer that is the most unassuming and non-confrontational man ever would be an interesting twist. The 'he was so quiet. Very polite and courteous. Willing to help anyone' type of person. However, that particular characterization in this film just made it fall flat. It's tough to believe that a man with so little testicular fortitude would be capable of kidnapping and killing people.

Head Cases a film by Anthony Spadaccini A Review by Eric AdamsThe term mocumentary has been thrown around a lot over the last five years and does not do the film Head Cases justice. This film by Anthony Spadaccini would be more suited being described as a psychological thriller and a horror roller coaster. Accompanied by great casting for every character, the first thing I noticed is the excellent acting. Paul McCloskey seemed to be the perfect fit for the lead character of Wayne Montgomery. Even with a strong performance by Paul, I would say Barbara Lessin as Andera Montgomery(Wayne's Wife) and Brinke Stevens as Juile Quin (Wayne's Mom) some how still seem to steal the show. Barbara Lessin has no trouble playing the wife of Wayne Montgomery and her big, beautiful, black eyes add a darkness to the Andera Montgomery character. There is a combination of strength and almost an innocence in Andera Montgomery's voice as she narrates over old pictures and video recordings, leaving you with an uneasy feeling caused by a mixture of empathy for Andera and something unknown as your instinct questions you. Then there is Wayne's mother... Julia Quinn. There is a fire in Julia Quinn's eyes, an evil that you can only find in a mothers eyes. There is a wickedness in the Julia Montgomery character that only seems to grow when she smiles. I paused the movie at one point to use the restroom, when I came back Julia Quinn was on the screen staring at me. Haunting simply haunting. Even the child/teenage actors add to this movie. I can't tell you how many good movies I have seen before that were taken down a notch because of bad child acting, this is not the case here. In particular Emily Spiegel as Monica Montgomery and Joey Garrisin as Micheal Jared Stratten did very well. Besides good acting, Head Cases has beautiful cinematography as well. Every scene was well thought out from where the camera is to how a scene is framed. This movie also has beautiful color and a skillful use of lighting. The set lighting in Head Cases is well thought out and I would go as far to say an educated use of found and natural lighting. With this, you can see Anthony Spadaccini loves making movies, knows what he is doing, and didn't just pick up a camera and go with it. There is a perfect mix of using photography, old video recordings, and audio recordings for character development and plot development as well. I feel it might be unfair if I don't point out the great photography in Head Cases as well. You feel as if you are looking thru a friends or neighbors photo album and that these pictures existed long before this movie was thought of, adding to the realness and overall eeriness of the film. The special effects in Head Cases are flawless for this type of film. If Head Cases were made by someone other than Spadaccini, it would have been a different film altogether. First the fake blood used looked great. The amount of blood used and when only adds to the relentlessness of Head Cases. This is not a splatter-fest like Adam Chaplin or Tokyo Gore Police but fans of that type of film will not be disappointed. While at the same time, the use of blood only adds to this physiological roller coaster, and will not disenfranchise the film goer who may not be fans of the splatter-fest films. The use of dialogue in this film is something to note as well. Every line from every character seems real and nothing seems forced or out of place. Besides the good writing, the soundtrack also caught my hear. A lot of directors of horror movies fall into the trap of adding kick ass songs from bands they like but forcing them into the movie. Leaving viewers like myself actually liking the soundtrack more than the movie. I can't tell you how many times I have bought the soundtrack to a film but not the film. This is not the case with Head Cases. The main portion of music I remember is classical/piano and used as in between music and/or to add to a scene. The music used to build and also intensify what you are watching was also great. And isn't that what a good soundtrack should do?After I was done watching Head Cases, I went outside for a cigarette. Suddenly I realized I was looking next door at my neighbors house wondering, what was really on inside there on this quite and peaceful night? I laughed to myself as I realized this movie had stuck with me. There are certain movies as you are watching them or as soon as you are done you know this film will be with you for a few days. This is one of the things that makes Head Cases such a dangerous film. As you are watching Head Cases you only feel as if you are watching a good movie. Then suddenly, you realize Head Cases had indeed slipped inside your own head and left a mark on your subconscious. I would indeed recommend to everyone, buy this film. Before I saw Head Cases I had already pre purchased this film and even now that I have seen Head Cases, I still can't wait to get it in the mail to watch again. Thank you for your time and keep living the dream. :)

Let me start by saying, "oh my God." As a fan of all of the films in the series, I must say, I can't think of a better way this could have ended. Head Cases was a standout. It was done in the style of a 48 Hours Mystery type of documentary. It gathered all the pieces of every story and brought it all together in a seamless and incredible package. I honestly think I enjoyed this the most, even more than the original. The acting was fantastic, as usual. Very well cast. The cinematography was also quite stunning. Very minimalist, yet I couldn't pry myself away from the screen. The footage in this felt so authentic. I believe some of it was, but I can't tell what is and what isn't, truth be told. It's clear how much care was put into the fine details. It definitely paid off. The direction the movie headed was fantastic. In the opening scene, we are presented with a quote from Wayne Montgomery that reads, "I'm passing on my knowledge, so it won't die when I do." Without revealing any detail, this just gives you an idea of where the film is headed. Many twists and turns develop in the last of the series. Things I definitely did not see coming. It was impressive how many plots were tied together and in the conclusion were still presented with new and surprising material. Definitely the most impressive film of the bunch. All of my questions were answered and my mind was blown yet again. I am thankful to have been introduced to the series, it's been an awesome ride.

Head Cases: Serial Killers in the Delaware Valley is the fourth film in the Head Case series of 'found footage' horror films. It takes a different approach than the previous films, playing as more of a "true crime" documentary. Head Cases borrows elements from some real-life murder cases (including the Luka Magnotta case). Head Cases provides an intimate, far more sympathetic view of Wayne. He's a severely flawed nobody, abused by the women in his life. To him, murder is an outlet. It's an interesting approach, one hinted on but never explored in the other films. Barbara Lessin's role as Andrea Montgomery is limited to prison interviews, but she is very effective as she tells her side of the story. I really liked the story in this movie, how it explores the events of the previous films, then leads into the aftermath - how a serial killer's life's work can inspire copycats. It's a concept explored in other movies, but rarely as effectively as it's done here. I think this was my favorite of all the installments. It's suspenseful, disturbing, and really got under my skin.
