This was one of those movies very well done. It takes you on this psychological journey of a special needs young man who went through soo much abuse and bullying, and what it can do to the human mind! Literally go inside this guys head until he explodes and is hardened so much nothing can stop him! It has an excellent twist and you must watch the movie all the way through. Such an artistic vision into someones mind literally cracking uo because of outside scars. Watch this one!!!

It must be seen to be believed.

A hallucinatory study of the complexity of evil, and the unseen places where it can reside, in the arms of a guardian. Thomas is a boy destroyed by those who would have protected him, and rebuilt by what would use him to do its will behind the embrace of love. Once inhabited, Death walks on human legs, and Boy Woof finds his place as the vehicle of an unstoppable destructive force. When the orbit of his vengeance intersects with the return of a schoolmate and her brother, a war of guilt and innocence is played out under psychokinetic imprisonment and the keen edge of an axe. The performance of Van Vonderen raises this production beyond the reach of fledgling horror, his masterful depiction of the subtlety of damage coupled with an physical unpredictability makes him a force to be reckoned with. Koppin's gymnastic technique boasts an electrifying grasp of the inner space of depravity itself. Shifting through childlike animation, color value, speed, then headlong into the intensity of Thomas's memory without warning, the director evokes experimental cinema absent from the comfortable, photocopied safety of modern offerings. Made Me Do It is a surprising foray into an overplayed genre, well worth a serious watch and re-watch, and stands as the beginning of a promising career.
Study of the genesis of a serial psychotic killer!

Redefining Horror as a genre. Amazing study of the genesis of a serial psychotic killer and visioning his internal struggles. It's a film in the tradition of Crime and Punishment with a raw and wide ranging character arc not seen in most horror films. The main character goes from child-like innocence to craze killer and back again creating a surprising plot and suspense that makes the movie a meaty ride. If you like horror that goes beyond the normal flat characters and telegraphed plot structure, this is a movie for you to see.

Made Me Do It is an homage to madness and all things that draw blood. It manages to play with well known slasher and horror tropes while still exploring new ground -- something exceedingly rare nowadays and makes for a refreshing watch.
In a slasher film, the cast really only needs to be serviceable, but in a good slasher, the final girl needs to stand out and Anna B. Shaffer, as Ali, absolutely stands out -- lovely and brave -- and a character you truly come to care about. Kyle Van Vonderen, as Thomas, does an amazing job being absolutely creepy and helps channel the Black Christmasesque psychosis that much of the film is filtered through.
If you dig horror, you owe it to yourself to watch Made Me Do It.

Made me do it is all about madness and blood. Acting was fine but i didn't like the angle of camera. So distracting. The story line was bad either. The twist was so obvious.. not really surprised. I wouldn't recommend this movie!
