Office Killer
Director: Cindy Sherman
Year Released: 1997
Rating: 1.0
"Old maid" Dorine (Carol Kane, sporting crooked eyebrows) works as a copy editor for Constant Consumer magazine which is undergoing layoffs due to budgetary constraints - before you know it, the staff start dying off, beginning with Gary (David Thornton) electrocuting himself ... and then their corpses wind up in the basement of Dorine's home that she shares with her handicapped mother. For photographer Sherman, who's inarguably one of the most important American artists of the last century, this is her first (and only) feature film, and while it tries to be an offbeat horror-type project, it's inept at telling its own story (there's no sensible explanation as to what leads Dorine to basically morph into a female Ed Gein) and many of the shots are gaudy and might have been more appropriate as prints on a museum wall. Fans of her work should take a peek anyway - mostly out of curiosity - and you can include it a very rare category: the evil main character unrealistically "gets away with it" ... and then wants to land another 9-to-5.
