The activities of rampaging, indiscriminate serial killer Ben are recorded by a willingly complicit documentary team, who eventually become his accomplices and active participants. Ben provides casual commentary on the nature of his work and arbitrary musings on topics of interest to him, such as music or the conditions of low-income housing, and even goes so far as to introduce the documentary crew to his family. But their reckless indulgences soon get the better of them.

This movie is about moral decay of film crew. It is heavyweight dark story that makes you sick, very realistic and interesting all the way through the film. It's dark, witty, depressive and movie that makes you sick at the same time. It's fake documentary about charismatic serial killer followed by film crew. At the some point, crew lose objectivity and start helping him.Probably, one of the best Belgian movies of all time. First I considered plot is moving too fast, but after I finished the movie, I am sure director caught right tempo and did the great job. Must see
Me and my mate went to see this film in 1992 when it came out.We were 20 something nobodies in London. It was the only friend we had and I think it still is!!!! We howled all the way through.The sangfroid with which the killer dispatches his victims. The gutless bumbling of the film crew were just brilliant.The pieces to camera were great as was the black and white photography.If I could get a copy of the poster I would hang it on my wall!Perfect for 20 something nobodies and one of the best experiences I have had in the cinema.
I just saw the movie bout ten minutes ago and the second it finished I felt dirty. The movie makes you laugh at things that you wouldn't ever think you would be able to laugh to. The characters are a weird mix of extremely likable and extremely unlikeable. The movie has two scenes which made me want to fast forward 1. The rape scene 2. The child murder scene.The only problem i have with the film is that at times it get a little two slow and to much talking and the ending was a tiny bit too sudden. Overall it was a very funny and disturbing film which I'm not sure if I could watch it again soon because of the extremely hard to watch rape scene, I gave it a 8 out of 10.
I can't believe that some people consider it as a cult movie.One guy (serial killer and psychopath) very talkative, kills and destroys anything he wants to for a pleasure and tried to find out the purpose of his behavior in the front of the camera that follows him. This is very cheap movie without any sense. The main protagonist thinks he is smart and keep talking about his life while killing other people, robs their money and throws corpses over some kind of bridge while explaining the technique.In the end he got killed for causing troubles to the other gangsters.The crew that follows his crime and record it is sick and dumb too and off course got killed too.Is this kind of a movie that you wanted to see? Just sickness.
