Arrow Films will be releasing the critically acclaimed jet-black comedy feature A Serial Killer’s Guide to Life in the UK, US and Canada on digital platforms from January 13, 2020, we’ve learned today. Along with that exclusive news, we’ve also been provided with the film’s official trailer, which you can check out below!
Described as “Sightseers meets Thelma and Louise” (Deborah Haywood, Pin Cushion), the film is written and directed by Staten Cousins Roe (This Way Out) and produced by Forward Motion Pictures – a multi award-winning production company run by husband and wife team Staten Cousins Roe and Poppy Roe.
Following its hugely successful UK premiere at Arrow Video FrightFest in August and special Awards mentions at Manchester’s recent GrimmFest, the film stars Olivier Award-winning Katie Brayben (Doctor Who, King Charles III, This Way Out), Poppy Roe (This Way Out, Drawn, The Leisure Class), Ben Lloyd-Hughes (Divergent, Me Before You, Malevolent) and Emmy-nominated Sian Clifford (Fleabag, Vanity Fair, Dodgy Dave).
A Serial Killer’s Guide to Life follows Lou Farnt (Katie Brayben): a 30-something, self-help addict who wants nothing more than to escape her overly controlling mother and the dead-end seaside town where she grew up. So when strange and strikingly confident new life coach Val (Poppy Roe) suddenly arrives on the scene and invites her on a road trip of alternative therapies, Lou finds the perfect opportunity to leave, and the perfect person to become.
Unfortunately for Lou, Val’s a serial killer.
The film will be available on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video and all other UK, US and Canadian digital platforms from 13th January 2020.
