Thoughts/comments on La decima vittima

In this blog post I will be writing my thoughts and comments on the Italian film La Decima Vittima. The film in itself was an interesting concept. Where murder is outlawed yet it is only allowed (and encouraged in some cases) if a member joins the game and sends a warning to the hunted anonymously. After a killer reaches ten kills they can join the elite killing club and gain certain benefits. In the film the mechanics of the game are rather interesting, obviously you are not allowed to kill an innocent by stander as the normal laws of the state are still in place (which makes it interesting when you don't know who your hunter is so there is a huge element of risk as you can still be arrested if you get the wrong person), this means the players have to be extra careful because the risks of the game can back fire greatly on them.

The film and game also become more interesting when in Italy (where the film is based (the game is world wide)) there are increasing regulations on where the players can shoot their guns due to state regulation preventing bystanders from being harmed. There places are, cafes, restaurants, churches and so fourth. his adds challenges to the game making it increasingly difficult for the players to complete their tasks so they have to conger up more ingenious, intricate and creative ways to kill their victims adding twists to the game itself. (Sounds like brave Heart to me (although this came before hand and is a spoof)).

Over all I liked the film as it had a good sense of humour as it make fun of itself and I liked the intricacy and complicity of the rules as this added a challenge to get game in the film. Plus as the film is in Italian I liked how they didn't dub the film even though some of the actors and actresses were English speaking and they used subtitles. I prefer this as it make the film more authentic.
