A Serial Killer’s Guide to Life (2019) is a comedy thriller about a self-help addict unwittingly finds herself on a killing spree with her unhinged life coach. It has been called a mix between Thelma & Louise (1991) and Sightseers (2012), but heavy in the comedy.
In the movie, thirty-something, self-help addict, Lou Farnt wants nothing more than to escape her overly controlling mother and the dead-end seaside town where she grew up. When strange and strikingly confident new life coach Val invites her on a road trip of alternative therapies, culminating with a visit to American self-help idol Chuck Knoah’s British country home, Lou finds the perfect opportunity to leave – and the perfect person to become. Unfortunately for Lou though, Val is a serial killer.
A Serial Killer’s Guide to Life (2019) is the debut feature film of the British writer and director Staten Cousins Roe after his multi-awarded short film This Way Out (2013). It is starred by Katie Brayben, Poppy Roe, Ben Lloyd-Hughes, Sarah Ball, Tomiwa Edun, Sinead Matthews, Sian Clifford, Fiona Glascott, Owain Rhys Davies, Carys Lewis, David Manson, and David Newman.
The movie had its world premiere at Frightfest last August, and it was also part of the Grimmfest last month. Arrow Films has the distribution rights for A Serial Killer’s Guide to Life (2019) and has scheduled it for a digital release January 13, 2020. You can watch here the official trailer for the movie:
