I Am Not a Serial Killer
In a small Midwestern town, a troubled teen with homicidal tendencies must hunt down and destroy a supernatural killer while keeping his own inner demons at bay.
Why it matters
A psychologically sharp blend of supernatural horror and coming-of-age trauma that probes what lurks beneath the surface of a small-town mind.
- Bill Skarsgård anchors the film with a chilling, nuanced turn as a teen wrestling homicidal impulses and monstrous threats alike.
- Christopher Lloyd’s unexpected but pitch-perfect casting adds an eerie, darkly comic gravitas that elevates the familiar genre tropes.
- The film’s Midwestern setting grounds the supernatural in a bleak, almost clinical atmosphere—less jump scare, more slow burn dread.
- Fans of horror that doubles as character study and moral puzzle will find this a refreshing twist on serial killer and monster movie conventions.
