How to Be a Serial Killer (2008)
Member Rating:  
A parody of self-help literature and motivational speakers, Luke Ricci's dark comedy follows charismatic serial killer Mike Wilson as he mentors his first pupil in the fine art of mass murder. Mike is the kind of guy who knows what he wants out of life, and knows how to get it. Now that Mike is living the dream, he wants to share his knowledge with others, too. In order to give aspiring serial killers all the tools they'll need to become the next Jeffrey Dahmer, he's crafted a ten-lesson program that covers such topics as weaponry, corpse disposal, and keeping secrets from loved ones. When it comes time for Mike to deliver his first one-on-one tutorial, he recruits a lost soul named Bart and the lessons begin. As the lessons intensify, Mike finds it increasingly difficult to keep his clandestine career a secret from his beloved girlfriend, Abigail. Eventually, Abigail discovers the truth, and the police start closing in on Mike. Although Mike has escaped to his desert hideout along with Bart, the cops soon come knocking and all hell breaks loose. Will Mike and Bart ever escape to Mexico as planned, or will Mike's first lesson in police stand-offs and violent gunfights prove a complete and unexpected bust? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

I guess I really didn't have high expectations for this movie. If you want to see something akin to a really good student film-well go for it. The actors are really not bad-I can see where they were going with it. Give it a shot if you have an hour and a half to kill. Hard for me to describe- not great- but not terrible. Take your own chances.

I liked this movie alot, it was funny and you see the point of view of serial killers. I liked it, Matthew Gray Gubler is awesome which is one of the main reasons I watched this movie in the 1st place but over all I liked this movie it was a good way to pass time and have a laugh. All movies doesn't have to be about educating that is why it's called comedy.

This movie tries to be tongue-in-cheek as a seminar for would-be serial killers is interspliced with the story of the motiviational speaker actually taking on a protege. The film tried to be too clever and ended up just disappointing.
