Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Michael Ledo Pretty women are being killed by being stabbed in their softest part. Repeat often. I had no idea what the story was about until I listened to the director's commentary. A town consists of ugly men and pretty women who want nothing to do with the guys so they turn to each other. That is pretty much it. One guy takes it personal. A lot of nudity including "tonsils." The killing/penetration scenes were not well done.The film is in Polish with English subtitles...while the "making of" segments are all in English including the director's commentary. You might as well watch the film with the director's commentary "on" as it is in Polish and you can read the subs while he is talking, letting you know what the heck is going on. The girls in the film are basically all "dimes." They came from strip joints. Sort of like a European Bill Zebub production except the girls are not from Jersey strip joints. Enjoy the difference.The film is soft-core porn. It is sleazy. The real title in "Fantom Kiler" with one "L." It is still pronounced "killer." This is all explained in the director's commentary during the credit run. I did like listening to "The Carpenters" in "the making of" segment while a large nude blonde was getting stabbed in the "tonsils." We've only just begun.6 stars for the nudity and no other reason. They made 2 sequels.

Boba_Fett1138 Might as well stop watching this movie after its first few minutes, they already spoil everything in there during its intro.But seriously, I'm still really not sure what to think off this movie. This movie doesn't really fit into one particular genre but in this case that really isn't a good thing. It makes this movie a real mess, that is like a crossover between an Italian giallo, fantasy and soft-core porn. I'm definitely sure I would had liked this movie a whole lot better if it had picked one clear approach. I guess in essence this movie above all remains soft-core porn because of all of its explicit nudity but even a soft-core production needs sex sequences in it, which this movie strangely enough doesn't have at all. I say strangely enough since it's a trashy European production, that has all of the right settings and female models in it, for it.And as an horror/mystery or giallo, you just simply can't take this movie seriously enough. It's low budget and it features no real story or mystery in it. It still does feature some gore and other explicit sequences but strangely enough the movie doesn't shock at all with any of it.What's also really a problem with the movie is that is starts to drag far too early on already. The movie is constantly repeating itself (just like its awful music) but what's even far more annoying are its actual killing sequences. They just go on and on forever with its build-up to it and even when someone gets finally stabbed it still manages to go on and on for the sequence to finally end.I honestly really loved this movie its visual style and approach, which was also foremost the reason why I still kept on watching but I just feel that this was something that would had worked out way better for an 30 minutes short and not for an 90 minutes full length movie like this one.Really a disappointment, considering all of its potential.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Rapeman Fantom Kiler is a shot-on-video wanna-be modern Giallo where the storyline revolves around your stereotypical Giallo-type killer (black hat, trenchcoat, black leather gloves and mask) who stalks young sluts, stabs them numerous times and then vaginally mutilates them with a knife. Sounds great huh? All things considered it's an OK film - pretty low budget but it still looks decent compared to some of the other SOV films i've seen. There's LOTS of explicit (verging on hardcore) nudity and vag stabbin' which when coupled with an overall misogynistic attitude in general makes for some entertaining sleaze. A sub-plot involving a comedic relief team made up of a goofy slacker janitor (complete with fake mustache) and his equally lazy co-worker who work at the train station, hanging out leaning on their mops imagining what the women who walk by would look like naked. One scene involves the main janitor getting in a hot young assistant cleaner, one day out of the blue the young lady gets very aroused and asks him to force a wooden spoon deep into her @sshole handle first and then says she wants him to re-enact the King Arthur & Excalibur story and to try and wrench the spoon from her tight ass, it takes him a while he gets it out eventually. After a while it seems apparent that the janitor is the killer, as in one scene the killer f!cks one of the victims in the ass with a wooden mop handle and the janitor reads about the murders in the paper mumbling about how they got what they deserved.Some scenes are blackly humorous in the totally over the top and immoral way the women are treated: the killing scenes are deliberately over-long, as the camera lingers pornographically on the scenes of brutal multiple stabbings, vaginal impalement's and knife rape (although there's actually very little graphic gore on screen, just plenty of blood). As the killer doesn't actually penetrate his victims in the usual way, the kill scenes could almost be considered the money shots. Sometimes the victim even gets off on the assault and subsequent knife-f!cking (the ultimate orgasm the killer calls it), reaching her climax as she dies. The female stars all look like second rate porn stars, with fake tits, well oiled bodies and bad acting.A myth surrounding the film is that it is Polish and directed by one Roman Nowicki. In reality the film was shot in a warehouse in London, and then edited at home on his PC by Trevor Barley (aka Roman Nowicki). He hired Polish & Russian models / porn stars to act in it, dubbed the film into a mixture of Russian and Polish language then subtitled it back to English. Supposedly the cause for the deception was due to the directors concerns regarding legal trouble and distribution / censorship problems in the UK. He has also directed Fantom Kiler 2 & 3 under the same pseudonym.This film completely fails as a Giallo. There's no suspense, convoluted storyline, or really any cinematic value at all.. but it does succeed in terms of pure exploitation and anti-PC offensiveness. 6/10

Dr. Gore *SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT* I bought this DVD. I was watching too many straight to video flicks and needed a real nasty movie to bring my exploitation movie senses back to life. "Fantom Kiler" did not disappoint me."Fantom Kiler" is all about killing women. Some guy in a white mask and a big hat stabs a lot of naked women to death. The end. There's some vague attempt at giving this movie a plot with two detectives searching for the killer. "What do we know about the victims? They're all dead." But "Fantom Kiler" is really not concerned with such trivial things as plot. This is about naked women dying horribly. Mostly it's about naked women.Where did they find these women? All of the victims in this movie have incredibly hard bodies. They get naked for no reason at all. Two janitors are staring at women coming off the train and keep imagining them naked. Therefore, they must get naked. If a women walks through the forest, her clothes fly off when a tree branch barely touches her. This movie excels in the nudity department."Fantom Kiler" is really not that violent. I'm not saying that to be a wiseguy. It's just that the violent scenes are filmed so ineptly that they don't have much of an impact. However, "Fantom Kiler" is outrageously sleazy. Naked women are stabbed in their various sexual organs with pure maniacal delight. As far as leering at naked murder victims, "Fantom Kiler" delivers the goods. If you're an exploitation movie fan, you should see this movie immediately.Sleaze rating: 10/10 Violence rating: 6/10
