You Might be the Killer Turns the Tables on the Slasher Film Genre

Tagline: "It's Summer Camp. What Did You Expect?"

A trailer for You Might be the Killer released this week. The film focuses on character Sam (Fran Kranz, Cabin in the Woods), after he wakes up next to a pile of bodies. He wonders what happened. But, he also wonders if he might be a murderer. A meta look at the slasher film genre, this horror comedy also stars Alyson Hannigan, from "Buffy the Vampire Killer" fame. Directed by Brett Simmons (Husk, 2011), this is the first script from writer Covis Berzyone to be put to screen. Now, You Might be the Killer is available on Shudder, for fans of horror.

You Might be the Killer premiered earlier this year. This title showed at Fantastic Fest, in Austin, Texas. As well, the film was part of the After Dark Film Festival, in Toronto. You Might be the Killer may have been snubbed at the awards ceremonies. However, the film looks to offer a new angle and approach to a slightly tired horror film genre.

As well, an early review mentioned the film's charm. You Might be the Killer relies on practical effects and splatter: "keeping its blood flowing straight through the end. The practical SFX is a treat for all Horror fans dedicated to hating on fake-lookin’ CGI; for when You Might Be The Killer gets bloody, there will be no denying the charm of its gorier moments (Cryptic Rock)." Home entertainment screens will run red, this week.

You Might be the Killer is on Shudder as of today (Dec. 6th). Fans of horror can find the film, on this platform, in the U.S. and Canada. Also, this title is available for rent on several platforms, including: Youtube Movies, Google Play, VUDU, the PS4 and several other outlets. All of the release details, on You Might be the Killer, are hosted below.
