Killer Concept

Enjoy your serial killer flicks with a healthy dose of comedy? Looking for an indie spin on the genre? This one should check your boxes. It's just a heckuva good time--but with enough drama to keep things interesting. Sit down, order a pizza, and make Killer Concept your next weekend watch.

I enjoyed the plot, it kept me interested. Acting was great.

When I rate a film, I don't compare it to other films; I let it stand on its own two feet. That being said, Killer Concept checked the box I find most important- it entertained me. I liked the characters and felt the acting was consistent with the tone of the film. It's an interesting take on the slasher genre. The writing was good and the direction offered an interesting perspective. While not necessarily scary (a lot of slasher films aren't) it was sufficiently moody with really great photography, colors and locations. The production design was well done. Overall, it was a great time!

Thankfully, this is not a low budget thriller trying hard to be a big budget movie - no, instead it lives well and unapologetically within its budgetary restraints and restricted locations and serves as a fine calling card for its multi-talented director who also plays one of the leads. Without giving too much away, it's interesting to observe how his character develops within the wannabe film writer group from near-stone-face reserve into the tales centerpiece around which everyone else revolves. The story concept itself is interesting enough, even if it could have benefited from more character background. The ending serves up a genuinely well-staged twist that I was not prepared for.

This movie combines 2 of my favorite things. Horror movies and movies about making/writing movies. The concept was tons of fun and felt very fresh. I enjoyed the balancing of the tone. The "fake" horror movie we get to watch in there they're while they explain there ideas to each other is a great visual idea. I thought he film was very well paced, never over stays its welcome and had some great lighting. Overall a surprisingly well made and entertaining indie film. I definitely recommend it!
