Irish lmmaker Billy O’Brien, director of the critically successful Isolation, returns with an adaptation of the Dan Wells bestseller and first instalment in the John Wayne Cleaver trilogy. In a small town covered in snow, a teenager living in a crematorium and convinced deep down that he is fated to become a serial killer sets out to track down a bloodthirsty killer. This quest will lead to a perverse game between the young man, who is terri ed by the impulses that drive him, and an old man who is hiding a very grave secret. Imbued with the weird psyche of a teenager, but above all a vibrant thriller, I Am Not a Serial Killer also gets credit for putting the outstanding Christopher Lloyd centre-stage.
