bookstore employee virginia ( jenny wright ) read a sick if oddly poetic horror story by an author name malcolm brand and in so do resurrect the demented creep and who kill off real people in the same fashion a those in his book . virginia have a tough time convince anybody and start with her detective boyfriend richard ( clayton rohner ) and that she not just some fruitcake and that her information actually have merit . genuinely interesting and rather imaginative terror film that could possibly satisfy both the audience that desire creative writing and those who crave blood ( even if the blood in this movie doesn not exactly look real ) . well act by wright and rohner and with some unfamiliar but competent player in the support cast and and feature decent effect work and gore . effect expert randall william cook himself play the part of brand and do a creditable job . overall and i and madman ( name hardcover in the theatrical trailer ) be a reasonably impressive piece of work that i would recommend that others seek out . for once and this be a movie that doesn not show the gore merely for shock value but incorporate it a a necessary element to show the madness of the villain . write by david chaskin and whose credit also include the first nightmare on elm street sequel . positive .
