L.A. SLASHER (2015)

After seeing the repulsive Kevin Smith film Tusk (the worst film I've ever seen, in all these decades of watching movies) last year, I was thinking I might escape 2015 without seeing something so bad, it made me nearly angry watching it.  Then along came L.A. Slasher.  Marketed as a dark comedy-horror-crime film, the movie is about a mysteriously-masked killer in a white suit and shaggy dark hair, who snaps and starts kidnapping and/or offing reality-TV "celebrities" - to the delight of his social media fans, who spur him on to do more/worse.  The film seems tongue-in-cheek at first, but right away degrades into weird torture horror, made all the more ridiculous by its over-the-top lack of - no pun intended - reality (seriously, no one dislikes reality-TV more than me, but the public's reaction to the killer's actions are just nuts).  Struggling to get through the last twenty minutes, it's no Tusk ... but definitely my least favorite piece-of-crap film for 2015. (rated R)  F
