Killer Concept

I thoroughly enjoyed this film! It kept getting better and better as it went along. A good sign for me is that I was off my phone the entire time while watching this terrific indie film. Big congrats to the cast. I found them all very enjoyable and believable along with an engaging storyline. The Director did a great job with the pacing. There were no flat spots for me! Clearly this film gets a Thumb's Up from me!!

I enjoyed the plot, it kept me interested. Acting was great.

Not only does Killer Concept offer a unique take on its subject matter, but it punches well above its indie filmmaking weight in terms of performances and production values. Overall, an enjoyable movie that delivers the familiar and the unexpected in the right dose.

Thankfully, this is not a low budget thriller trying hard to be a big budget movie - no, instead it lives well and unapologetically within its budgetary restraints and restricted locations and serves as a fine calling card for its multi-talented director who also plays one of the leads. Without giving too much away, it's interesting to observe how his character develops within the wannabe film writer group from near-stone-face reserve into the tales centerpiece around which everyone else revolves. The story concept itself is interesting enough, even if it could have benefited from more character background. The ending serves up a genuinely well-staged twist that I was not prepared for.

When I rate a film, I don't compare it to other films; I let it stand on its own two feet. That being said, Killer Concept checked the box I find most important- it entertained me. I liked the characters and felt the acting was consistent with the tone of the film. It's an interesting take on the slasher genre. The writing was good and the direction offered an interesting perspective. While not necessarily scary (a lot of slasher films aren't) it was sufficiently moody with really great photography, colors and locations. The production design was well done. Overall, it was a great time!
