A director of a psychiatric hospital in Japan unknowingly perturbs a mass murderer. They begin connecting through the Internet and make everything be complicated from the murders that happened...
This is intense, finely crafted and self-probing horror at its very finest, exposing the male psyche to the harshest of lights - and packaging it all on film for our highly questionable entertainment.
The Mo Brothers along with Takuji Ushiyama have created this powerfully violent thriller that is unpredictable, sharp, and horrifying. Killers is bloodthirsty revenge cinema at its utmost finest.
The characters' online connection allows the filmmakers, who here move away from the slasher genre to something approaching psychological horror, to explore violence as a mindset.
Killers is born from the nightmares of evening news stories and the YouTube-obsessed generation we live in, dissecting the psyche of a murderer from a multitude of revealing angles.
Amateurishly realized sensationalism trumps character-driven drama throughout Killers, so Nomura and Bayu become generically morbid sociopaths with way too much time, and blood, on their hands.
"Killers" has plenty to offer genre fans - provided they don't bolt during its opening scene of a tied-up woman being beaten to death with a mallet ...
Those who stick with it ... will find much to enjoy: one tense, lengthy sequence does an exceptional job of wrong-footing the audience, while the conclusion is satisfyingly well-constructed.
This seemingly generic thriller has plenty of twists in store, but perhaps none as surprising and impressive as its ability to manipulate the viewer - first to side with the villains, then to question one's own core beliefs.
