Deviant Behavior is 50% sleazy detective story, 50% twisted slasher flick, and 100% awesome!
The story follows former detective, now turned Private Investigator, Charlie Reese (Eric Rodrigue), who spends his days drinking, and his nights associating with characters of questionable morality. One day he is hired to find a missing girl that the police have written off as a runaway. Charlie’s search for the girl leads him to realize that she is just one of many who have gone missing over the last few weeks, and the more he searches, the more twisted things seem to get.
Speaking of twisted… Dr. Walter Firley (Alex Heatherley) is an attractive man who has a way with the ladies, and one very deranged “lady” in particular. Each night, Dr. Firley goes out hunting for a new woman to bring home, so that she can be slaughtered in a unique way. Dr. Firley isn’t really the killer in this story, he “just likes to watch.” The real killer (L.G. Koruptore) is his “lady” – a nameless, faceless, voiceless entity, who believes Dr. Firley loves her, and is only recognizable by the china doll mask she wears, and the huge muscles she uses to brutally murder her victims.
Some of my favorite scenes in the movie are the actual murders. The killer often plays happy music and dances around while slicing and dicing, in several scenes reminiscent of Mr. Blonde from Reservoir Dogs. I enjoyed the various music throughout the film, and especially during the murder scenes, where it did an excellent job of heightening the tension. I also loved the blood and gore effects throughout. There was a lot of brutal, grisly stuff, that should satisfy even the most blood-hungry viewer.
I am a fan of both slashers and sleazy detective stories, but mixing these two genres doesn’t usually work as well as I’d like. That is not the case with Deviant Behavior. The creative duo behind STX Media, Jacob Grim (Director), and Sal Hernandez (Writer) have really managed to combine the two into something bloody, twisted, and unique, that give equal weight to both types of story. Overall, I really liked this film and would highly recommend it to fans of either genre.
 from STX Media. The film is half sleazy detective story, half twisted slasher flick, and definitely recommended,){kind=link}
