What distinguishes this movie from the rest of the pack is its restraint. There are a lot of undertones just bubbling throughout and with Loyd and Records at the helm, it'd be dumb to pull the trigger a little too early. No, this film really revels in the mystery and lets the performances steer the ship. It may not have any philosophical depth, but its both meticulous and yet somehow organic. A very well executed movie.

The semi-documentary look was effective in making me feel immersed in the setting. Records makes for a convincingly disturbed protagonist and Lloyd is perfectly cast. Doesn't really go anywhere truly interesting, but I was enjoying the ride. Erm, not in a messed up way though. I am not a serial killer.

Odd weird and very reminiscent of Phantasm in many ways including the score. The acting is pretty good but not remarkable but the whole thing is quite unique which made it all the more enjoyable.

A wonderfully odd film, full of atmosphere and lacking in character depth (except Lloyd, who really packs a punch here). It's a fun spin on a cat-and-mouse game, but with the bizarre addition of an extraterrestrial presence thrown into the mix to spice things up, though it leads to a largely stillborn ending rather than one that provokes a furthering of thought. It reminded me of Thumbsucker with its emphasis on rekindling maternal love and one's coming-of-age in darkly comedic circumstances.

Low-key, creepy horror film offers Lloyd his best role since his heyday (which he tackles with gusto), though Records is equally as good as the ambiguous lead. With its gritty 16MM photography and icy atmosphere, it feels deliberately evocative of a certain brand of 80s VHS horror, though it is arguably more fun on the journey than at the destination, with a somewhat perfunctory finale.

Quiet little film. I enjoyed the cast, especially the dramatic punch from lloyd which i wasn't expecting at all. The story itself isn't much but the characters make it engaging. Records' characters resolution in the end was a little too neat for how troubled he is but not so much as to ruin the film. Does well in capturing a "close to home" sensation in the direction.

I truly wonder what expectations everyone else went into this film with (was there hype around it? apparently there was a book?) that left them so disappointed in it. I'm glad I knew next to nothing about it before watching it. I absolutely adored it and feel like it's what's been so severely lacking in good horror/drama lately.

The approach to this film is to know very little about it before diving in. Unpacking this quirky coming-of-age horror tale is thoroughly enjoyable, as it deliberately lets the viewer see each piece at its own pace. Visually, the 16mm photography is perfect for that specific messy look that almost has a 70s feel to it. Obviously the budget hinders the film's biggest moment, but the remainder of the film has some wonderfully placed gore moments.

Creepy, odd, and enjoyable. I Am Not a Serial Killer is a mildly slow, yet thrilling film that manages to catch you off guard numerous times. My main complaint is the someone anticlimactic ending, but the rest of the film is solid and original (minus a potential strong inspiration from Jeepers Creepers). I also have not read the novel this is adapted from, so I can't say how faithful it may be. I'd say it's worth a watch if it peaks your interest.

It cleaves so close to the novel that it has nothing new to add or anything different, it's just a boring straight adaptation

Couldn't make it through. Kid was a decent enough character, but it just got so dry as the story came to fruition and the film continued to lose me. Cool soundtrack, but this movie is not good.
