This film might be tiresome for the standard fare thrill-seekers and box-office hounds. But for those of us who seek depth and texture in film, Killer Me is a much appreciated deviation from the mainstream.The music score especially draws the viewer in--with creepy sounding, wholly unfamiliar noises. More over, the raw, almost uncomfortable performances from the actors lend an excellent hand to the already rich story-line. Given that this film was made on almost no budget, it looks great and is easy to watch.For a viewer who needs a TV-style resolution and standard story-line, Killer Me will be challenging to watch. For the real film lovers out there-- Killer Me will not disappoint.

This is a compelling, serious film about psychotic behavior, rather than a typical serial killer flick. It certainly has it's suspenseful moments but where it really shines is as a character study, and even more strangely, as a love story. I haven't seen a film in a long time that has so successfully externalized such an internal character. The film is so obsessively told in the first person of the main character, Joseph, that we nearly breath as he breaths, think as he thinks. When we first meet Anna, the future love interest, it's so uncomfortable to see Joseph's reaction that it's almost unwatchable. We feel Joseph's struggle to quell his inner demons, to cast away his violent thoughts so he can have a normal existence with Anna. This is a killer who truly does not want to kill. In this way he becomes human, sympathetic, a metaphor for anyone who struggles to cure their inner ghosts."Killer Me" is one of the most interesting, unique films to come out this year. The acting is all top-notch, especially for a cast of complete unknowns. The cinematography is very atmospheric, switching between the more sedate and extremely stark depending on the mood of the character. The sound score is brilliant. If you can manage to find a copy, check it out.

I LOVED this movie. Bravo! Finally a horror movie with some heart! Unlike so many forgettable serial killer movies out there this one is actually going to stick with me. It's another one of those recent indie horror movies that's so much more brave than anything Hollywood would dare to make. The characters feel like real people, admittedly pretty twisted people, which makes the situation all the more tense. At the heart of the movie is a weirdo love story that is almost more uncomfortable to watch than the scenes of murder. Don't think yourself too twisted if by the end you finding yourself rooting for the serial killer!

Premise:" Killer Me is a mysterious, unsettling film that gets inside your head with a gritty, first person feel recalling low-budget shockers like Peter Bogdonovich's Targets and Michael Powell's Peeping Tom. "This film is a refreshing change to the popularly done serial killer films. What you see is what you get. It's not in your face, it's not forced, it is a nice, refreshing travel through a serial killers day to day life.
Joe is a serial killer that is triggered by violence. Living in a not so nice area makes Joe's killing sprees an avid event. But what is different about this film, is that Joe HAS a conscious. You get the feeling that he doesn't really like what it is he does. And you just have to like that when he tried to kill a couple of people, Murphy and his laws come into play, and all attempts are ceased.Anna comes into Joe's life by way of a college class they are in together. Things slowly unfold and he begins to have feelings for her with the "you remind me of my mother" factor.If you are looking for gore,nudity,or soft porn, don't watch this movie. This movie has taste and class. I wouldn't be surprised if they showed this film on IFC some day. VERY well done,and not your typical serial killer film. This is very cleansing to the palate.As reported by Igor of Horror-Web.Com
