I Am Not a Serial Killer sells itself on being one of those quirky and
slightly surreal indie horror movies that has a premise that sounds familiar but adds a few
twists and turns to throw you off your guard, and for the first half of the movie this approach generally works; the
sense of a small town in the grip of an apparent serial killer comes across thanks to the geography of the houses and the interactions of the people we meet, and as a character John is well - written and superbly acted, making him instantly interesting and, despite his odd character traits,
slightly endearing.
The structure generally feels quite stiff, and although you are aware of the windscreen surround shuddering
slightly over very rough surfaces there's never any
sense of the shell
twisting or distorting in hard cornering.
