I Am Not a Serial Killer

Slow paced ? No ! It's called great character development and great story which you want more of ! Amazing script, acting and excellent executed! Christopher Lloyd is fantastic in this role, and it's a joy to see him act out his role. The movie itself has an late 80s early 90s aura around it, which is great.The soundtrack, atmosphere and the way the movie was filmed felt authentic and real and that combined with everything else just made this movie so awesome. I really can't compare it to anything, but I felt like if the movie Southbound, The Void and the TV show Stranger Things would have a love child it would be named I am not a series killer. When Lloyd quoted William Blake it gave me goosebumps and a chill down my spine. A must watch ! 9/10 for an amazing horror, thriller, drama !

**** May contain strong spoilers **** This is a review made by StoneDraim... and that means that if you want to read a probably different kind of review, keep reading.... This is my personal experience, my personal point of view/perspective and my personal opinion... and my opinion is just one of like 7 billions in this world. Just a few thoughts about this one. An original script is followed through in this very well made low budget, indie movie. Christoffer Lloyd is the "big name" showcasing in here. And...as in some indie and low budget movies, they kind of illuminating the name of the "big star" to give the audience the feeling that that actor will fill a big part or major part of the movie. That kind of thing is twisted around here, as the pre credits puts Mr. Lloyd besides, after and below everybody else and even so, he plays a major part in this one. Slow paced combination of thriller, drama and horror. Worth a view. A crawling danger is with mysteria filling the picture, almost throughout the entire production. Interesting tweak around a teenagers deep, dark thoughts of being a serial killer. Highly intelligent young man that is labeled (yes, I call it that as society want to put "labels" on most things) sociopath. And... further down the road, we witness these "sociopaths" being extremely successful co-workers in various aspects as "Bones", "CSI" and similar types of movies and series. People, with an vast interest of a specific topic and an extraordinaire ability of some kind, resulting in that the social skills is being thrown out the window, consciously and/or subconsciously. If you can muster the strength and endurance to get yourself through the slow daily life parts, I can recommend this movie if you are looking for something very different. If this movie had been cut down to about 70 minutes, it could have been more than approved. An ending that really fits and makes the whole picture step up a little. Good scene in the end... really good, actually! In fact, when it is all set and done, I am glad I watched this. A nice little horror, thriller, drama, indie flick! And... nn fact, I could see myself watching this again after a while. Over to the movie as a product: - The production : Gives the impression of being a low budget movie. Even so, good special effects and a great monster. - The actors : I am looking forward to see Max Records in more movies. He got real potential and made this movie believable, along with Christoffer Lloyd... just watch 1 hour and 25 minutes into this one. I will keep my eyes open for Max Records. Felt nice to see Mr. Lloyd act again in a more serious matter, after seen his horrible and over acted appearance in Piranha 3DD. - Entertainment : The story itself is keeping me wondering if this is good or bad... keeping me wondering what will happen in the end. - Age : 15, due to violence and a touch of blood, gore and monster 5,7 out of 10. (The final rate is based most on my own entertainment of the movie. Short elucidation of the rating: 6 Nice production. Good movie. 5 Approved.)

John Wayne Cleaver (Max Records) is a teen sociopath growing up in Clayton, Ohio. He has the traits of being a serial killer, but manages to keep his urges under control when pushed. His Mom runs the town's funeral home and he has access to dead bodies. The town does have a serial killer and John has a fascination with him, so much he does his own investigation. This is a dark humor horror film. We get to know the killer after a few kills. There is blood and body parts. I love these clever indie horror tales. They tend to have some unique element making formula guessing a film impossible. I also recommend "Night of the Living Deb" a comedy/zombie indie. Guide: No swearing that I recall. No sex or nudity.

I never review any films but I felt compelled to after having watched this absolute trash. I honestly have no idea why it has so many good reviews, this film is so inconsistent. The main character is diagnosed as being a sociopath yet he cares for everyone?!?! 90% of the film is filler, none of the scenes push the story forward, a plot didn't seem to exist. An hour into the film I checked to see how long it had been on for, I was gobsmacked it had only been on for 60 minutes, It felt like days had passed. The film was slow and cumbersome, the dialogue was ineffective and didn't contribute to the story line most of the time. I won't put any spoilers in, the main spoiler of the film is the fact it has spoilt my Sunday afternoon, I'm hungover and now I'm angry too. Please don't watch this film, you will just end up like me, bitter, twisted and disappointed.

This is it. The creepiest killer persona I've seen in a while -- and I've only recently come out of an insane horror-binge that spanned over the length of a couple of months. Laurels to Mr. Lloyd for his incredibly chilly performance that framed so eloquently a very competent ensemble without dominating with experience; barring, of course, his grand "solo" which was just... remarkable. Now, if I cared about the brackets of cinematic categories, I would class this movie as "uncategorizable" for it makes a run through so many genres, it ultimately brakes all the boundaries and uses the shards to create a stunning patchwork quilt of peculiar unity. Providing us with a fresh outlook on a topic old but favorite, the movie, on the whole, is capable of qualitatively standing alone on the merits of its technical points, however, a few pacing issues aside, we are also graced with effective build-up and organic plot progression, making this subtle endeavor an unmissable filmic underdog.

Yeah. This one's weird. It tries its hardest to be some kind of Donnie Darko. At other times it tries to be some kind of Phantasm. Ultimately its kind of a mess. It tries. It tries really hard. It's an original thought, mixing psychological suspense (a kid who has all the earmarks of a serial killer, although this plot line goes nowhere) with the supernatural or is it science fiction (some old man who is really a creature from beyond who feeds on human organs to survive). Sounds like it should be scary as all hell, doesn't it? It's really not. It's really very slow moving and so ambiguous that its kind of boring. I know this is suppose to be based on a book, so I guess the plot was set in stone, but wouldn't it have been cool if the young killer and the alien creature sort of teamed up Mr. Brooks style or something? I mean, an hour and forty five minutes is a long time to watch something with such a minimal plot as this film has. The film is very well shot at times and I did like how the seasons changed early in the film and we were suddenly in winter with snow on the ground. I'm not going to say this film isn't visually stunning; at times it is. But it really drags on and on and I honestly can't put my finger on why exactly it just doesn't connect but it just doesn't. It seems to be an experiment, like Donnie Darko was, or like Phantasm was, but one that for whatever reason just doesn't hit the ball out of the park like those movies do.
