Max Records must’ve been quite bummed when he learned Wild Things aren’t real, because he’s now become obsessed with real monsters in the SXSW thriller I Am Not A Serial Killer. Alongside a particularly creepy Christopher Lloyd, Records leads the film that will stop by Fantasia Festival, and a new trailer has now arrived.
The film follows a boy (Records) who, despite not wanting to become one himself, has a strong interest towards serial killers. When one (Llyod) swoops into his town, the boy must embrace his dark fascination in order to save the ones he loves, lest he join the man. With the trailer set to the slow, rhythmic motions of an elliptical machine, some truly haunting images, and praise for the film, I Am Not a Serial Killer could be an indie hit, pending U.S. distribution.
See the full trailer below, with a nod to The Playlist, for the film directed by Billy O’Brien.
I Am Not A Serial Killer will screen at Fantasia Festival.
