Review by Jean Lynch

A timid secretary finds herself the object of the affections of a deranged serial killer who wants to either love her or else add her to his gruesome collection. If you’ve seen Wolf Creek then you already know how terrifyingly good Australian actor John Jarratt is at playing a psychopathic killer. Now times that by ten. His portrayal of Franklin Rood, is one of the most disturbing you are ever likely to see. Rood handles his anger at rejection by creating a police taunting alter ego, The Griffin, and embarking on a spree of horrific murders, seemingly at random, all young women, home alone. However, one manages to escape, for which she earns his respect – and his love. Danielle Harris turns in a powerful performance as Wendy, the girl who has to toughen up quick if she wants to stay alive. The tension and gore factor are ramped up right from the word go, and the murders are brutal, relentless and unflinching, never sparing the audience. In Rood, we have a killer as clever and complex as Hannibal Lector and as unstoppable as Michael Myers. His moments of lucidity, the seemingly normal façade, and his warped attempts at engaging Wendy in conversation are chilling as they remind us that such people can and do live among us. The reveal of the full extent of his terrible depravity is an ingenious and truly macabre masterpiece of theatrical grand guignol.

Gbox and Chill: “Welcome to Death Row”

For this week’s Gbox and Chill, I present to you “Welcome To Death Row”. This documentary is in many aspects is the spiritual successor to “Straight Outta Compton” as it picks up with Dr. Dre as he leaves NWA to create his solo album “The Chronic”. While some of the members of NWA fade to the background, the legendary names of Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, and Suge Knight rise to the foreground to play their roles in this modern day Greek tragedy. The rise of Gangsta Rap in America, West Coast vs East Coast, and one fateful night in Las Vegas, all of it is here in one riveting film. If you couldn’t get enough of “Straight Outta Compton”, I cannot recommend enough “Welcome to Death Row”.
