M.P. Johnson's Reviews > Johnny the Homicidal Maniac: Director's Cut

I Should Have Read This When I Was 15

So much angst. Just angsty angst from start to finish. Yes, there's some murder, but mostly this is a long-form rant about hip kids in subcultural groups (goths, punks), who make fun of other people to make themselves feel better. It's really talky and kind of repetitive. Johnny kidnaps someone and tortures that person while proselytizing about the wrongs of mistreating people. Eventually, it gets a little deeper, but it's kind of like punk rock. You really have to get into it when you're a teenager for it to hit you the right way.
