A Record of Sweet Murder
ある優しき殺人者の記録
A murderer in the middle of a killing spree enlists a reporter to interview him as he prepares to finish sacrificing his victims to his god.
Why it matters
A Record of Sweet Murder delivers a grimy, found-footage descent into the psyche of a ritualistic killer, blending true crime obsession with supernatural dread.
- Raw and unsettling: practical gore effects that capture the brutality without glamorizing violence.
- A claustrophobic dive into obsession, echoing the mood of The Poughkeepsie Tapes but with a cultish twist.
- Perfect for fans of folk horror who want their cosmic horror doses served with a side of documentary realism.
- Not for the faint-hearted or those expecting tidy narratives—its rough edges amplify the sense of unraveling sanity.
