Definitely strange - if you like standard movies with standard genre and plots you may not enjoy this one. If you like emotional characters that you can connect with and 'average joe' dramas, you may not enjoy this one. I enjoyed it because I felt like it did a good job of taking some classic horror elements (sociopath/stalker/creepy guy) and puts subtle twists on it. I think they either didn't portray a sociopath very effectively or else they are saying the kid was misdiagnosed because for supposedly having no empathy he showed too much emotion and reacted in ways a person who "doesn't care" wouldn't. They tried to make him dark and creepy but still make you root for him. It's not very realistic, but they did a fair job of it in my opinion. The "dark protagonist" with a heart of gold learning how to love. Kind of slow, kind of cheesy, but they did a great job of making it creepy and making you question things - that's what I enjoyed. The ending was out of left field and absolutely not credible in any way (one of the characters who is supposed to be 'normal' just goes along with the crazy for no good reason? No closure on the origin story of the totally unbelievable antagonist?) It lost some stars there, but overall I still found it more entertaining than the average cookie-cutter show.

Wow, i didn't see that coming. Nice twist at the ending, i really didn't expect it. At first I thought this was the same kind of mediocre murder movie with a lot of police involved, but i was wrong. It was kind of bored in the beginning, started with daily life of a teenager whom diagnosed with a mental-illness. The story tried to lead us to think the major role was a sociopath, and that he was troubled. And he also thought so. Even though i didn't think he was. I mean, he just had a big interest about a story of homicide. It was perhaps rare among his teenage friends, but it was still normal. He just liked to play detective.The pace is quite slow, the story was not so tense even when there was a homicide happened, but it kept me watching the movie. Maybe i was captivated with the acting, and i believed that something was going to happen. It was not brutal and scary, and we finally know he was not crazy and it sum up everything : he wasn't the killer. I'm not disappointed though, even it seems like an underrated indie movie. I think this movie needs a chance.

My opinion---"I Am Not Serial Killer" is a good little suspense horror film by Billy O'Brien, based on the same novel by Dan Wells (2009). This film takes place on a slow rhythm wanted by the director to give a special atmosphere to the film. The film will show you the world of this young man: John Wayne Cleaver (Max Records) who often shoots in the universe of the morgue where his mother works as a forensic scientist, it's just to tell you the good idea of ​​the film . The film will give even more desire to see it as time passes, the atmosphere will be even more palpable, ending with beautiful scenes that will complement and reinforce the idea of ​​the film, Maybe The slow way of the film can disturb some, but in the end you will understand that this film was really worth seeing. "Max Records" plays perfectly his role of John Wayne Cleaver and it is still a plus for the film. The final scene is truly magnificent to see with superb effects. In conclusion: the film is very good despite its slow rate wanted, it is also very well realized and performed, it is ultimately a very good film of its kind I advise you.

Although I would like for it to develop more of the book, the movie itself it's really good.The performances are good, but the one that catches my eye is the one from the main character: he manages to be creepy in a way you can relate to him and fear him at the same time. The best from the movie would be that, his performance. They have some good effects too (I wasn't as fond of the villain's quality but it worked out)
