The film is bloody while definitely teen friendly (to some). It's not overly scary but the story is engrossing and suspenseful, making it an enjoyable, entertaining film.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Apr 19, 2020

A brilliant film that is rightfully placed in the 'Cult' section of the festival as it is sure to have this status in years to come.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Feb 4, 2020

Provides a rare non-judgemental character portrait of sociopathy, engaging with it intelligently without ignoring its dangerous side.

| Sep 1, 2019

It completely embraces its quirks and completely delivers on its genre promises.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2019

The film is strongest in its most outrageous, emotive moments, and along with the great performances it offers a lot to enjoy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 14, 2019

There's a great sense of claustrophobic place in winter darkness, which enables a contrast between icy growing dread and candle-lit normality.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 19, 2018

It is gorgeous and moody, creepy and engaging, often darkly funny and entertaining from start to finish.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 2, 2018

So original in its narrative that you can forgive it for its shortcomings. It's not the next big thing in horror, but it's a unique little film that certainly merits a watch.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2018

Deftly blending genres-part thriller, horror, comedy, drama and romance-I Am Not a Serial Killer is a unique film full of surprises.

... works better as a psychological study than as a 'young adult' horror. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 15, 2017

Don't let the title put you off. This offbeat horror movie based on the cult YA novel by Dan Wells is as much a subtle psychological drama as it is a gory chiller.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 20, 2017

Co-writer and director Billy O'Brien does a masterful job of building up the creep factor but gets too ambitious in the second half of the story.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 7, 2017

It's true that there may be moments in which the evolution of the story gets stuck but Christopher Lloyd's surprising work and the great chemistry established between him and O'Brien makes it worth watching it. [Full review in Spanish]

I Am Not a Serial Killer is Dostoevsky in Minnesota. Spiritually if not literally.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 27, 2016

Never quite escapes its adolescent inspiration.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 19, 2016

Enjoyably gory and wry.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 13, 2016

[Sinks] its storytelling teeth deep enough to draw blood, while still retaining the flesh-wound frivolity of cackling morbid fun.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 11, 2016

A sour, wicked film that neither looks nor feels like the rest of the busy sub-genre.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2016

Originality is hard to come by, especially in horror films, but there's a good dose of it in this stylish and beguiling little chiller based on the first book in Dan Wells's YA book series.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 8, 2016

I Am Not A Serial Killer may have some gloopy, gory moments but rather than the full-on chiller you might expect, it is slow and brooding, gothic and decidedly odd.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 8, 2016
