Still Life: The Fine Art of Murder

if you still have time left before deciding to rent or purchase this boring and predictable low budget thriller than save your money. This so-called thriller (I prefer to call it thrill less) revolves around three friends who share side by side lofts in an abandoned manufacturing building. Jason Gedrick plays a struggling musician named Peter Sherwood who lives with his pretty news correspondent girlfriend Nellie Ambrose played by Jessica Steen. The third wheel/stooge in this plot is a struggling flute player named Teddy Bullock played by Steve Shellen who makes ends meet by tending bar.

Every 10 minutes or so some non-descript vagrant or bag lady is murdered by a so called serial killer named AK (The Art Killer) who leaves his trade mark "AK" near the picture perfect piece of art he has created with the body or bodies he leaves behind.

As could be predicted the so called star of this low budget film actor Jason Gedrick is the prime suspect that the police are investigating for this string of murders. Heck the budget for this film was so tight that the producers could only put one detective on the case. I am having a hard time not providing a spoiler alert since the budget and the plot are so thin (there is only three characters who could possibly be the serial killer? ....duh) that it won't take anyone very long to figure out who the killer is and why the killer is murdering people.

I picked the film as it was filmed in my hometown of Toronto. But once again the budget was so small that they must have filmed the entire movie in a two block circumference, in one evening and with limited lighting and sound equipment. I was bored out of my gourd and I can only muster up a 2 out of 10 rating since Jason Gedrick and Jessica Steen did an adequate job with the thin script that they had to work with. This should be an avoid at all cost films.
