Great Scott! Christopher Lloyd looks quite a long way from Hill Valley in I Am Not A Serial Killer, a murky new thriller based on the 2009 book of the same name by Dan Wells. We’ve got our hands on an exclusive new poster.
Set in the American Midwest, it centres on a sociopathic teenager obsessed with murder, who finds himself tracking down an actual serial killer in his hometown while attempting not to be tempted down a violent path himself.
Lloyd plays Crowley, the mysterious older gentleman and potential serial killer, while 17-year-old newcomer Max Records plays the brilliantly-named John Wayne Cleaver.
The film won plaudits at its South By Southwest premiere, and was a hot ticket at the recent London Film Festival, with comparisons to Donnie Darko being loudly whispered. An intriguing cult classic in the making, then.
Directed by Billy O’Brien, I Am Not A Serial Killer arrives in cinemas and on VOD platforms from 9 December.
