The Ugly
The Ugly is a 1997 New Zealand horror film, the first feature directed and written by Scott Reynolds. The film starred Paolo Rotondo, Rebecca Hobbs, Jennifer Ward-Lealand, and Roy Ward. The film is about a psychiatrist that is meeting with a serial killer to determine whether or not he has been successfully cured. They delve into a journey through his past and his victims, and through this "The Ugly," a distorted allusion to The Ugly Duckling, is revealed. It was nominated for best film awards at festivals in New Zealand, Portugal and the United States.
Plot
The film takes place in an old, worn down insane asylum in Auckland, New Zealand, run by Dr. Marlowe (Roy Ward). Simon Cartwright (Paolo Rotondo), one of his patients, is seeking an appeal from a psychiatrist to get a reevaluation of his mental state. He wants to prove that he’s been cured; Simon is a serial killer that has killed over a dozen different people. He wants a psychiatrist from outside of the asylum to take his case, and he specifically asks for Dr. Karen Shumaker. Dr. Shumaker (Rebecca Hobbs) has recently gained some publicity from winning a case involving another serial killer.

The Ugly Organ
by: CursiveThere's a time and a place, this is neither the time nor the place.
"where do I fit in, in this jigsaw of a relationship? !?
Why should I play the fall guy to your love?
I keep getting snubbed... what dumb luck, what dumb luck."
'so rub it in... in your dumb lyrics.
Yeah, that's the time and place to wring out your bullshit.
And each album I'll get shit on a little more, 'who's tim's latest whore? "
Now, that's not fair - no, that's just obscene.
I'll stop speaking for you if you stop speaking for me.
I'm writing songs to entertian,
But these people... they just want pain.
They want to hear my deepest sins
The songs from the ugly organ.
And what comes out is a horrible mess,
Songs I can't forget
What's been said and this guilt I can't shed.
It still rings in my ears - oh, get out
The butcher's knife.
I've been screaming for years
But it gets me nowhere
Just get out the butcher's knife.
That organ's playing my song,
But this song's gone on too long.
What a day to sever such ugly extremities.
"what a lovely day", says the butcher
As he raises his arm.
