ultra-high squirm factor, 29 May 2006
7/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

"Katiebird" takes a while to get going but when it does you will be squirming and cringing in your seat. It's right up there with "Scrapbook" for utterly uncomfortable viewing. While the director shows great promise there's some things about this that bugged me though and one is the music which is rather overpowering at times. The other thing is the split screen stuff which is kind of distracting at times. If you were uncomfortable with the "dentistry" scene in "Marathon Man" then look out, because some scenes here far eclipse any discomfort you may have felt there. This begins with Katiebird having a session with her psychiatrist, and she rather quickly dominates the situation, chaining him to a bed, and submitting him to all kinds of torture. This is sort of a wrap-around throughout the film. I guess the overall story (as told in flashbacks) is that Katiebird is a chip off the old block, her dad is a serial killer as was his father before him, and his father, etc. In fact they show these old geezers at one point and one actually waves at the camera, probably the only glimpse of humor in this whole film. Now dad has lovingly collected the tools of his trade, and when she becomes distraught because a boy she likes is seeing some other girl, he introduces her to the pleasures of torture and killing. And she takes to it like a duck to water. This is not a film for folks with weak constitutions, and may not be a film for a lot of other folks either. It's sick, it's disgusting, and it's vile. Having said that though, it's also worth seeing at least once if you have a sense of adventure. 7 out of 10.
