A clever, genre
hopping 2016 film that refuses to settle into the pattern you expect it to.
Refreshingly dark with splashes of black humour, interesting mis-directions
planted in the narrative and an utterly surprising ending. In the small town of
wonderfully named teenager John Wayne Cleaver has been diagnosed as a sociopath
with homicidal tendencies and a morbid interest in death, not entirely
unexpected as his mum works in a mortuary and he even helps out. So when a
serial killer seems to be stalking the increasingly terrified inhabitants,
John’s interest soon stretches beyond the normal response into a strange
fascination with the processes the killer seems to be using.
