THE KILLER INSIDE ME | FOR THE HAL-I-BUT
Based on a novel by legendary pulp writer Jim Thompson and directed by Michael Winterbottom, The Killer Inside Me is about a small-town sheriff’s deputy, Lou Ford (Casey Affleck).

His most notable traits are his optimistic axioms and the psychopathic tendency to kill that he indulges on weekends. [R | Kendall Square Cinema, 7.2.10] Continue reading
