It has taken me a few days to think this one over if i'm honest. I'm not sure if i actually enjoyed the film or not, is that odd? On one side of the coin I thought it wasn't the type of serial killer film I originally thought it was going to be, which is a little bit of a disappointment in my books. However! on looking back at the film as a whole, this was a refreshing take on the 'Killer hiding in the neighborhood' type of story.

Max Records stars as Social outcast, and serial killer obsessive John, an awkward teen who works with his mother in the towns funeral home. John has killer tendencies, a situation he controls via his Councillor  and his long suffering family. When a surge of killings begin to look similar John starts to suspect that there is a serial killer on the loose, but when he finds out it is his elderly neighbor Crowley he decides to begin following him. What John witnesses will mess his little mind up forever.

​And mind fuckingly messed up it is. Christopher Lloyd's Crowley is actually a monster who keeps himself alive by taking different body parts and organs from his victim. Lloyd is brilliant as Crowley, he plays innocent yet menacing VERY well. The twist of the monster worked well, giving a different dimension to the film while not making it look fucking stupid. This is really a film of two halves. on the one side John is trying to draw out the killer to do the right thing, if the right thing is to bludgeon  Crowley's wife. While on the other side Crowley is only killing so he can be with his wife till the very end, upholding his promise to be by her side till the very end.....okay so it involves him brutally murdering people and removing their various organs but it is for love! and that's rather sweet in a sick kind of way. 

I Am Not A Serial Killer isn't one of the best serial killer films out there, and so it shouldn't be. This a decent horror film overall, it is a little slow at times and the supporting cast are a little shite throughout, but lets be honest you only really care about John and Crowley so  does it really matter that much?
