The Killer with a Mallet

"A Reflection of Fear"

The Killer with a Mallet is a movie about fear, where the “killer” embodies fear. It displays how people react to and face fear. Every little detail is important in this film as well, for example, things you may think are mistakes, such as that you can see the dead characters alive in the shot, that symbolizes even if you think that fear has overcame you, you will still progress in your life. Every single “mistake” means something to the story/deeper meaning.

The Killer with a Mallet is an exceptional film. The deeper meaning being fear is perfect and the way they show that is amazing. The way the people reacted to the “killer” although it may seem corny it is very real. There are people who react the exact same way to their fears- whatever they may be. I love how there’s little details in the movie that makes it better like how the “killer” is wearing a soccer jersey symbolizing how fear can be in the form of anything. I also love how you can see the “dead” characters in the frame after they have “died”, symbolizing that even if fear has “killed” you, you can still make friends and be successful. I also like how you can hear extra sounds or voices in the background symbolizing that this isn’t the only story being told about fear or emotions. I also like how you can see the cameraman in one shot symbolizing that fear happens every day and it just chooses to show this example. A very fine film, surpassed my every expectation for this movie. A solid 8.5/10
