With a title like An American Serial Killer in
Manila, you have our attention. And after taking a gander at this
extended promo for the film, which is still in development, I want someone to
give me a bunch of money so I can give it to these folks to finish their damn
movie. Or I could just wait until they finish it on their own and buy a ticket,
but I’m an impatient sort.
From the name and what we see here, it looks like this is
very much the story of an American who just so happens to be a serial killer,
plying his trade during what sounds like it’s going to be one hell of a nasty
storm. This looks grim and brutal and moody, not to mention strangely beautiful
in an aesthetic sense. Take a peek at that splatterylogo, and you just know you’re in
store for a vicious, exploitation style throwback thriller.
Director Mikhail Red is the son of Raymond Red, who Twitch
calls “a leading voice in the country's alternative filmmaking scene,” though
he has been making a name for himself in his own right, with films like
Rekorder.
An American Serial Killer in Manila was chosen
for the Hong Kong Asian Film Financing Forum, and you can see why from this
footage. Hopefully that means we’ll be able to lay eyes on this before too
long. I want to see what kind of craziness the rest of the movie has to offer.
