Comments: The Snowtown Murders is kind of like an artfully made torture porn film. Well, at least some parts. The movie chronicles Australia's "worst serial killer," and the teenager that he involves in the killings. I had read a number of good things about this dark film, and being one that likes heavier cinema, I was ecstatic to learn Netflix was streaming it. While parts of The Snowtown Murders are well done, I found the movie a bit disjointed, which was only compounded by the fact I had a difficult time deciphering the heavily accented Australian dialogue. (One of the things I dislike about Netflix is the lack of subtitles.) But other scenes were very powerful and made for an affecting viewing experience. I can't freely recommend the film, but for those interested it's certainly worth a look.
