This film tries to be way too many things. Ryan from the get-go does not play any sort of average likable Joe. At least from our viewing point it is clear from the start that Ryan is playing one very sick puppy while surrounded by voices, we know all too well are his and his alone, coming from his four legged friends.
The synopsis mentions that the story"...takes a sudden, murderous turn..." but, as noted, from the start we know this is one very sick guy. The synopsis also mentions his court appointed shrink and then there are the 'meds' he is not taking. What is lacking is any real story other then a known psycho going psycho. No back story, no character development, no drama, no suspense and so not for me entertaining. Slasher shocks, OK on that one but not enough for this viewer. This was way too close to garish headlines involving the next door neighbor harboring a murderous psycho pastime. There is very little if anything funny in this film. Cat and dog mouthing a deranged killer's words does not reach the funny bone.
All in all a dark, humorless, murderous mess.
