I Am Not a Serial Killer's reviews
Media reviews
The A.V. Club
What sets I Am Not A Serial Killer apart from other takes on this ?killers hunting killers? concept (Dexter, anyone?) is its naturalistic, character-based approach. Psychopaths are people too in the nuanced I Am Not A Serial Killer
Empire
Breathing new life into the overfamiliar terrain of the serial killer, Irish director Billy O?Brien here both successfully reintroduces Max Records to the world, and elicits Christopher Lloyd?s best performance in a long time. His film deserves cult classic status at the very least.
Los Angeles Times
The film meanders, and the climax descends into campy fantasy worthy of any ?80s B-movie, but Records is quietly winning.
New York Times
Mr. Records (the child actor in 'Where the Wild Things Are') is nimble and unsentimental in playing a character who is playing at normal, supported by a solid cast in a well-filmed indie that doesn?t let its low budget get in the way of some true chills.
