Ooooh, you're writing a school shooting movie?!

Yes, it’s completely fictional and in its own little bubble but I’m doing it from the POV of the shooters and their friends/family.

Thanks. It was pretty good. I noticed another show on there called Born To Kill, which takes place in a school and the 1st episode was coincidentally released on April 20th.

Well that sounds amazing Ophelia. I'll definitely be an enthusiastic reader if I come across it!

My favorite movies with mass killings:

-Lesson of the Evil (it is really for entertainment, not to learn about mass shooting but that movie is sooooo good)
-Polytechnique
-We Need to Talk About Kevin
-Bloody Wednesday (Thanks Adam for making me discover this film)

I also liked:

-71 Fragmente einer Chronologie des Zufalls (By the director of Funny Games ; I watched this movie at the theater and I was waiting for the shooting during all the film because it happens at the very end without a clue, and just when it happened a woman next to me said something to her husband so I watched at her angrily and annoyed and I heard the gunshots... and so I missed the scene I was waiting for 1h40. I quickly looked at the screen again but the shooting was already over and the shooter was leaving. At that moment I really wanted to be James Holmes! I had to watch the scene on Youtube.)
-Ms. 45
-If...

And I have also seen Elephant, but I also didn't really like it, mainly because of the kiss scene. But I still like the idea of filming the same scenes from a different point of view each time and seeing the shooters walking in the background, but I think it was badly made which made it too artsy and boring.

That's all I've seen for now, there are still so much movies I want to see.

Mass shooting movies i have seen:
[...]
Ending of Im Not Ashamed(and some parts with Eric and Dylan) (what a shit movie lol)
The shooting scene of The Dirties
Shooting parts of Village Of Doom
The shooting part in that one Japanese movie were he kills people at his high school with a pistol or something
Ending of Rampage 3
Some shooting scenes in Rampage 2

So you watch only the best scenes, that's cheating! ;)

Well ok I did a few years ago sat down and watch the entire movie of Klass (2007) Dont remember if it had subtitles or anything but i did watch the whole thing

I watched Rampage this evening and I liked it. It has no artistic value but it is not an issue because the only purpose is to have fun showing a boy kill, kill, kill and that's all. All I wanted to see is dead people so I was happy with it, I would probably preferred it with a little more blood in it but that's a personal preference.

Zero Day, Rampage, The Dirties, Tower, Polytechnique and Duck! The Carbine High Massacre are movies about mass murder I enjoy. My favorite one out of those 6 is Zero Day.

What I liked about it is that how much it was based on the Hungerford Massacre.

Zero Day
Elephant
Stalking Laura
Rampage series
Pekka: Inside The Mind Of A School Shooter
Polytechnique (I watched it last year after purchasing it on Google Play)

Falling Down.

Falling Down ain't really about mass murder, you don't see d-fens going around shooting everybody in the movie but I think it's rather more of a crime spree

I can’t believe no one mentioned “Bang Bang You’re Dead.”

Also Beautiful Boy sucks!

Polytechnique. I like actor which played Marc, he looks so real. All scenes, this black-white colours, music. Story not only about victims/killer, about both sides.

.

Wasn't aware there was a gay sub-plot between the shooters in Elephant. I only watched the first 10 minutes years ago, the bland cinematography and poor acting made even that a slog to sit through.

I watched Polytechnic last night. It was pretty well directed and fairly entertaining despite it pretty much being just a whole dramatization of the event and not much else.

Zero Day took excellent advantage of that Found Footage style of filming, and it makes perfect sense for the movies premise. It's fantastic for its presentation alone.

I also remember really enjoying Klass, though I can't recall why since it has been a few years since I gave it a watch.

Zero Day
Elephant
Rampage
Rampage: Capital Punishment
Village of Doom
Stalking Laura
Polytechnique
We need to talk about Kevin

Anyone seen Wallflower? Its about the 2006 Capitol Hill Massacre:

I always liked Occult. If you're going into it for the mass killer aspect and not the spooky aspect,

Watch it first:

Bang bang you are dead
Elephant
Zero days

Having now seen a few more movies mentioned here, I have to say Village of Doom is my favorite. I watched it with a friend and we had a good time, laughing at virtually everything the movie had to show.

Bloody Wednesday was also good for a laugh.

Just here to join Elephant Movie Haters Club

Surprisingly well done.

My favorite mass killing/shooting movie is probably Polytechnique. I also enjoyed Zero Day and Elephant (even though I thought that movie was a bit boring at some points).

Elephant

Elephant

Was going to say this. What I really like about Elephant is how it doesn't only focus on Alex and Eric, but it also focuses on the other people present at the shooting. It's some really well done story telling, in my opinion.

Elephant and Zero Day were both good but i didn't like the shooting part of Zero Day.

The idea of making the shooting from the point of view of the cctv cam's was good but the fucking 911 operator is annoying as fuck.

The preparation for the shooting in Elephant is ok, but Zero Day nails it perfectly.

Has anyone seen Mass or The Fallout?

Not a real mass murder but i really like that movie Spree with Joe Keery.. very nice, i wish it was real, the apology video reminds me one of the elliot rodger videos because the background

Zero Day and Blue Ruin are my favourite movies of all time. I like movies that feel very real, and those two are just perfect for that. Especially Blue Ruin is a story where I think many people in US could end up in if circumstances are really unlucky, and most would be exactly like the main character. Thats what sets it apart from other "revenge killings", everything about the acting feels relatable, the panic, the errors of a common man thrown into uncommon circumstances, its almost uncomfortable to watch because the intensity just keeps racking up towards the end and thats how its supposed to feel. The first time I watched that movie I had really high fever too, holy shit that was a trip.
