I Was a Teenage Serial Killer

About This Movie

I Was a Teenage Serial Killer is a quirky blend of horror and comedy, directed by Sarah Jacobson. It dives into the dark psyche of Mary, a seemingly innocent girl who takes matters into her own hands by targeting sexist men. The film has this raw punk energy, capturing the chaotic spirit of the early '90s. Practical effects are used cleverly, with a mix of over-the-top gore and dark humor. The pacing is brisk, never lingering too long on any one moment and allowing the outrageousness to shine. Performances feel authentic, particularly from the lead, who embodies both frustration and dark empowerment. It’s definitely distinctive for its take on feminist themes wrapped in a slasher format, and that’s what makes it stand out in the genre.
