Review of The Barber

The Barber (2002)
1/10
No suspense, no horror, no drama, no comedy, NOTHING
4 January 2003
When I originally sought to rent this movie I thought I was in store for a suspenseful horror type movie. I thought I would be guessing who the killer is as the body count grows. After all I discovered this movie on the "horror" shelf. What i actually discovered was a movie with nothing to offer, the most boring, pointless, worst movie, i ever seen.

The movie begins with a body being discovered by two drunks in the woods of a city in Alaska on the final night of daylight. You already know that the barber did it. AFter this there is no movie left. The barber gets mad because he didnt think the body would be found until spring and begins to go on a "rampage". During this rampage about 5 people are killed and there is NONE, ZERO suspense, or blood involving the murders. The movie drags on as an FBI agent and the local police cheif try to figure out who the killer is. The thing is the audience already knows and there is no fun in watching the movie. There is no script, no clever detective tricks, no suspence, no drama, etc.

I beg you, do not see this movie even if it looks tempting on the "horror" shelf. The thing is there is no category to put this movie with. I guess they put it in the horror section because the horror is actually wasting and hour and 34 minutes of your life when you could be doing something more useful like watching paint dry or observing grass grow.
