7) Killers
Killers was an early-year watch for me, but it never stopped polluting my thoughts. Until I saw Anguish only a few weeks ago, it was in my Top 13. Deservingly.
The Mo brothers deliver a chilling serial killer story birthed from the bowels of nightly news headlines, spiked by the YouTube-obsessed generation we now live in. All two-hours-and-seventeen-minutes are used to their full potential, as an early torture porn feature evolves into a battle of good-ish versus evil – with plenty of blood spilled.
[zergpaid]What intrigues most is the effort to describe “good killing” and “bad killing,” and the lack in differentiation. One person kills victims who “deserve it,” while the other kills for pleasure. As the two murderers begin to trade sentiments, their stories intertwine, and the lines begin to blur.
It’s a vicious, sharpened satire that bites to break the skin, and doesn’t shy away from moral quandaries. In the vein of I Saw The Devil, you’re in for a criminal treat that draws horror from society – the nastiest monster of all.
