A new trailer for Irish writer-director Billy O’Brien’s adaptation of novelist Dan Wells’ supernatural-thriller I Am Not a Serial Killer (review) has dropped today and there is a very old-school mysterious feel about it. It’s not just in the visual aesthetics, which make the film look grainy and gritty, almost like some kind of documentary, but it’s the way everything is shot. It feels relentlessly bleak and cold.
Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future), Max Records (Where The Wild Things Are) and Laura Fraser (“Breaking Bad”) star in the feature, “which charts the story of a teenage boy hunting for a supernatural serial killer in his snowbound mid-western town.”
Sixteen-year old John Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it. He’s obsessed with serial killers, but really doesn’t want to become one. Terrible impulses constantly tempt him, so for his own sake, and the safety of those around, he lives by rigid rules to keep himself “good” and “normal”. However, when a real monster shows up in his town he has to let his dark side out in order to stop it – but without his rules to keep him in check, he might be more dangerous than the monster he’s trying to kill.
Nick Ryan, Robbie Ryan and Billy O’Brien of Floodland Pictures (The Summit) produced alongside The Tea Shop and Film Company’s (Tower Block) James Harris and Mark Lane.
