The next film up for discussion will be the 2008 film how to be a serial killer written/directed by Luke Ricci and starring Dameon Clarke, Matthew Gray Gubler, and Laura Regan. The basic premise is a sort of mocumentary of a serial killer who decides to teach the secrets of his “satisfying” career to a video store clerk that he has decided to make his apprentice. The film is not as gorey as you would expect them to be in the situations given especially for an R rated film .I wouldn’t say this is an A-list movie but it certainly does not deserve to be written off I do admit there were some slow points but it was an enjoyable watch especially if you happen to be into the darker kind of psychologically probing films. It puts you into what can be conceived as the mindset of a serial killer and the rules that govern what makes them a serial killer. To me the film had a lot of potential and maybe wasn’t marketed right because the ratings I looked up for this film just seemed completely uncalled for and should be given another chance.

  1. This kind of seems interesting in the fact that the cover of the movie doesn't really go with picture that your description put in my head. Maybe this is why the ratings weren't as good? Because parts were either taken too seriously or not serious enough. Obviously I don't know since I've never seen it, but because of the discrepancy that seems like it could make sense.
