With the advent of the procedural cop drama (CSI, etc.,) it could be said that the "hows" were taking over for the"whys" in mainstream thriller drama. Too much emphasis was placed on the ins and outs of the murders and crime and the fun of story telling was being lost.
Then finally, like Ed Wood before him, Derek Maki arrives on the scene and shows us that true drama does not stem from any believable plot or scenario, but rather from the filmmaker's ability to just say, "Screw it. Close enough."
There IS carnage in "Carnage & Deception" but there is no discernible "Deception" that i could find, other than the chain of events that deceived me into thinking it was a good idea to watch this film. There is also nothing to lead you to believe that these murders are in any way perfect. Even to cops with the brain power that Maki's characters seem to posses, these murders are all less than perfect and could probably be solved. Maki would rather have us believe that wearing gloves is all you need do to get away with the brutal murders in his lack luster script. Rather than cover what every other crime drama now takes as wrote, Maki lets us loose in a world where clues don't go past footprints and aftershave. Brilliant.
This inane little piece of awful is not without its charm, however. As I said before, Ed Wood fans should take note. Maki could be the next, great, worst-thing ever. His abandonment of convention, cliché, plot, dialogue, sound editing, pacing and story herald in a new era in schlock. One that Mystery Science Theater Fans everywhere can rejoice in.
There will always be bad films. But how often do really great bad film makers come along?
