I AM NOT A SERIAL KILLER GETS AUSTRALIAN CINEMA RELEASE
Fresh from sell-out screenings at the Fantasia International Film Festival in Montreal and the Melbourne International Film Festival, Irish director Billy O’Brien’s South by Southwest (SXSW) smash hit I Am Not A Serial Killer – based on Dan Wells’ best-selling YA (Young Adult) novel – will now enjoy a limited theatrical release in Australia this spring, with seasons in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane beginning on September 29th, preceded by special event screenings the week prior.
The dark coming-of-age thriller stars Max Records (Where the Wild Things Are) as John Wayne Cleaver, a teenager who works in the family funeral home – maybe not the best job for a diagnosed sociopath – but one that becomes an unexpected lifeline when a serial killer begins stalking his wintry Mid – Western town and he must tap into his own dark instincts to stop the killer before he strikes again.
Co-starring Christopher Lloyd of Back to the Future fame and Laura Fraser of Breaking Bad, I Am Not A Serial Killer, combines stunning performances with a breathtaking visual style, ultra cool indie rock soundtrack and a surprise ending that even devotees of the novel won’t see coming to create one of the coolest, offbeat genre flicks in years – think Dexter meets Donnie Darko and you’re heading in the right direction!
Monster Pictures will be launching its Melbourne and Brisbane seasons with special event screenings, featuring Skype Q+A’s with director Billy O’Brien and selected members of the cast and crew followed by themed after parties, featuring the ‘Cleaver Family Daiquiri of Death’ a specially concocted Pink Daiquiri emulating embalmers fluid – a post movie cocktail to die for!
More details on associated promotional activities, including event screenings and a Young Adult short fiction writing contest judged by Dan Wells himself will be posted on www.monsterfest.com.au and associated social media over the coming weeks.
