Lipp), whose brain was damaged in the accident. Ironically, he was the only one who doubted Preston's ability to drive, even offered to drive in his stead ... but all to no avail, and now he has lost the ability to read, whole chunks of his past seem to have been gone from his memory, he constantly bumps into things, and his counsellor Gavin (Aston Elliot) is an asshole, but what's worse, he's dating his Jared's mum (Katrina Gow). Only Jared's girlfriend Shelby (Susie Kazda) - instantly Preston's sister - seems to stick to him unconditionally, quite despite his growing drinking problem and outbursts of rage ... but there's something off about Shelby.<p>What Jared has really come to love of late is to watch B horror movies, the cheesier the better - but then these movies start to change, start to include scenes involving people from Jared's life being brutally murdered by a masked madman ... but whenever these scenes appear in the films he knows he's either alone or Shelby has fallen asleep. Not the thing is of course, the people murdered in Jared's "visions" turn up dead a short time later. Now true, many of those killed are not exactly people Jared likes (including Gavin), but Jared is essentially a decent guy who cares nevertheless, who even tries to save the lives of his "enemies" - to no avail, for one nobody believes his visions, and apart from that, the killer seems to be quite determined - which is all the more worrying because in one video the killer promises to kill Jared next. When the killer zeroes in on Jared though, Jared puts up one hell of a fight ... and suddenly finds himself threatening Shelby with an ax. He doesn't hurt her at all, but it puts a right fright into him. And then the killer announces to kill Preston, the accident-driver but also Jared's best friend and Shelby's brother, next - and now Jared and Shelby rush to his rescue ...<p> <p>In writing, <b>Killervision</b> might read like a rather typical slasher movie, and even some of the key "surprises", including the resolution of the film, are a bit too easy to guess early on to spell originality in big letters - but with <b>Killervision</b> it's not the surprises and the end result that are the point but the journey to get there, and that's the film's strength, as it tells its a bit run-of-the-mill story in an original way, and populates it with unusual characters, who are actually embodied by a pretty competent ensemble cast. That and a subtle directorial effort sees to it that the film is something more than just teens being butchered.<p>A pretty good movie, actually. <p>  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2014"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
