![]() ![]() ![]() Texas in 1958 is in the midst of the oil boom, and corruption is seeping into this hillbilly town and its naïve, almost stupid inhabitants. This baby-faced Mamma’s boy is your polite and “upstanding” local Sheriff and there are many in his small town in Texas that would attest to his innocence and moral compass, including his fiancee, the well-reputed Amy Stanton (Kate Hudson). Lou Ford (Casey Affleck) listens to classical music and reads Freud, but no, before you jump to any conclusions, he is nothing like Hannibal Lecter. This gory story is based on American writer Jim Thompson’s 1952 novel, a monologue from inside the mind of a serial killer, Lou Ford. Movie-goers with a weak stomach, take caution. Despite evoking strong opinions and reactions, this action-thriller is unapologetic of its graphic content. Sexist, misogynistic and sadistic are just a few of the words that were used to describe The Killer Inside Me - the audience at the Sundance Film Festival were clearly outraged.
