Fifteen-year old John Cleaver is dangerous, and he knows it. He’s obsessed with serial killers, but really doesn’t want to become one. Terrible impulses constantly tempt him, so for his own sake, and the safety of those around, he lives by rigid rules to keep himself “good” and “normal”. However, when a real monster shows up in his town he has to let his dark side out in order to stop it – but without his rules to keep him in check, he might be more dangerous than the monster he’s trying to kill.

Slowly paced but very atmospheric, this is a cross between Dexter, Odd Thomas and Stephen King's It! I thought it was great and no, before you ask, I am not a serial killer. I do know where you live though.

The plot takes a while to develop into the full sci-fy/horror/thriller that this movie most deffenitly IS! The build up is needed very much, so we can get into John's mind. It was also a hit at the festivals, which usually is a good indicator. A very enjoyable movie to day the least!

I'll be the judge of that. Putting aside it's flaws, I enjoyed this quite a bit. Not forgetting the great performances from Max Records and Christopher Lloyd. Oddly funny, but unsettling in some scenes.

"Could A.M.P.A.S. see past the film’s genre roots (horror rarely gets noticed) to award Lloyd, one of Hollywood’s most beloved ageing icons...?"

**Knowing everything, but can't do anything about it.**

The title sounds like it is a crime-thriller, that's what I was anticipating. But it was very different, especially at each stage when development takes a new facet. Totally unexpected, the character played by Christopher Lloyd. I had some d More
