Utterly disturbing and fascinating. Undeniably brutal and dark. This noir thriller of a movie is very realistic… This film is not for the faint of heart or the squeamish – the brutality of the film conveys the rage of The Killer Inside Me to be exciting by regimented placement of gratuitous sex, violence and gore.
Sadism and masochism beneath a veneer of revenge. Lou Ford is a mild-mannered sheriff’s deputy in an Oklahoma oil town in the late 1940s. His boss sends him to roust a prostitute living in a rural house. She slaps him; he hits her, then, after daily sex for the next few weeks, he decides it’s love. She’s devoted to him and becomes his pawn in a revenge plot she thinks is to shakedown the son of Chester Conway, the town’s wealthy king of construction. Lou has a different plan, and bodies pile up as murder leads to murder. The district attorney suspects Lou, and Conway may have an inkling, but Lou stays cool. Is love, or at least peace, in the cards?
