Title: The Killer Inside Me Sadism and masochism beneath a veneer of revenge. Lou Ford is a mild-mannered sheriff's deputy in a Texas oil town in the mid 's. 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, The Killer Inside Me 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.

Is love, or at least peace, in the cards? They read books don't they? I have a little habit on this site especially when I am unfamiliar with a films content, its director or writer. I The Killer Inside Me at the IMDb viewer reviews, starting by filtering them with the "hated it" box checked. If people have a good solid reason for hating a film or disliking it, a reason of substance, then I read 1 or 2 of "the bests" but consider twice whether I The Killer Inside Me to watch it. In the case of this film, I'd already seen it. I looked at the viewer reviews because it was an adaptation of a novel and I wanted to see how people reacted. Especially because I was surprised, having seen it, by the films low rating. For those of you who know nothing of Thompson's work I direct you to the Wikipedia article on him. In it, Steven King who I assume most people on this site know as he The Killer Inside Me the IMDb rated 1 film of all time, "The Shawshank Redemption" The Killer Inside Me he "most" admired Thompson specifically for three lets Now I know that the ratings here can be a little skewed. For example, is Inception really the 6th greatest film ever made. In the IMDb world virtually every episode of every TV show ever made is always ranked higher than any feature. Look at 's work sorted by rating Could every episode of Dark Angel have really been that good? Maybe it The Killer Inside Me means that IMDb viewers prefer short form fiction to the long form. Or The Killer Inside Me the editor of New York Magazine is quoted to have addressed his staff, "I don't want anything in this rag I can't read in one good crap". Its a foregone conclusion that lot of people who frequent IMDb spend a good portion of their time being visually entertained and they might not have enough time left to peruse the printed work as much as they aught; Maybe not even enough time to search out some intelligent criticism before they make their viewing choices. But the number of 1 star, I hated it, reviews for this film defy all reason. Sure the subject matter is inherently offensive. But as Andrew O'Hehir said in his Salon. Maybe if people read a little about a film before they invest their 2 bucks and 2 hours they could avoid subjecting themselves to films they won't like and spare us all their trenchant voicing of how they hated London because their vacation there was ruined when it rained the whole damn time they were there. Paris would be great too, if they spoke more English and And if you find Jessica Alba so one dimensional you want to kill her, maybe that's the point. There is a likable comic buffoon in Noiret's playing of the character a little at odds with Thompson's Looking for something to watch?

Ty Burr. This adaptation of Thompson's novel about a cunning, psychotic sheriff's deputy in a small Texas town locates the killer inside him and immerses us in the cold calculation and horrible logic that pull him from one murder to the next. The Killer Inside Me a violent film about violence, but that makes it truthful. Paul Byrnes. Amy Biancolli. Little, however, can save The Killer Inside Me from its worst impulses, its reveling in brute violence that makes it hard to watch and nearly impossible to admire, even though it's carefully crafted. Lisa Kennedy. As for the misogynist The Killer Inside Me, it is indeed depraved, made more so by the fact that its The Killer Inside Me victims are depicted as loving their abuse right up until it turns murderous. Ann Hornaday. Definitely not for all, especially those easily disturbed by sheer, raw violence. Tom Meek. Winterbottom is all about commentary and debate and this vicious character study attempts to strip away the fable of the American dream Fascinating, but not for the squeamish. Kaleem Aftab. It does not endorse the violence, glamorise it, or normalise it in any way But if Winterbottom had shown more discretion, had pulled back so that we might stomach it, at least, it would have been a considerably improved film. Deborah Ross. I found the novel more interesting than the film, which is a torturous, drawn-out affair. Brigit Grant. The heralded "violent" scene practically screams "We need domestic distribution!

In the introduction to the anthology Crime Novels: American Noir of the sit is described as "one of the most blistering and uncompromising crime novels ever written. The story is told through the eyes of its protagonist, Lou Ford, a year-old deputy sheriff in a small Texas town. Ford appears to be a regular, small-town cop leading an unremarkable existence; beneath this facade, however, he is a cunning, depraved sociopath with sadistic sexual tastes. Despite having a steady girlfriend, childhood friend and schoolteacher Amy Stanton, Ford falls into a passionate, sadomasochistic The Killer Inside Me with a prostitute named The Killer Inside Me Lakeland. Ford describes their affair as unlocking "the sickness" that has plagued him since adolescence, when he sexually abused a little girl, a crime for which his elder foster brother Mike took the The Killer Inside Me to spare Lou from prison. After serving a jail term, Mike died at a construction site. Lou blamed a local construction magnate, Chester The Killer Inside Me, for Mike's death, suspecting he was murdered for refusing to break the law to enable Conway's schemes. To exact revenge, Lou and Joyce blackmail the construction magnate to avoid exposing his son's affair with Joyce. However, Lou double-crosses Joyce: He ferociously batters her, and shoots the construction magnate's son, hoping to make the crimes appear to be a lovers' spat gone wrong. Elmer is killed instantly and Sheriff Bob Maples, Lou's mentor, reports that Joyce died after a short stay in a coma. Though Lou believes this means he has gotten away with the crime, county attorney Howard Hendricks becomes suspicious of Lou's version of events, as well as his alibi, and a third person is suspected to be involved. This suspicion falls on Johnnie Pappas, a young small-time criminal who Lou has befriended, and to whom Lou gave some of Conway's money, which is revealed The Killer Inside Me have been marked. Lou is allowed to enter the distressed Johnnie's cell alone in order to reason with him, only to murder him and stage the scene as a suicide. Though many accept that the case is The Killer Inside Me, more people begin to suspect Lou of being involved, including the deputy, Jeff Plummer. This also includes Amy, who The Killer Inside Me marriage even after a sadomasochistic encounter with Lou begins to convince her that he is hiding a dark side. A drifter whom Lou injured earlier attempts to blackmail him, revealing that he eavesdropped on a suspicious conversation Lou was involved in. Lou, seeing a way to tie up multiple loose ends, agrees to pay his blackmailer; he also agrees to elope with Amy, who he is planning to murder. On the night the drifter returns, Lou beats Amy to death, intending to frame the blackmailer for her murder. Plummer kills the drifter after Lou The Killer Inside Me him through town, and Lou is sedated and put in a hospital. Lou is visited by Plummer and Hendricks in the hospital, and senses that they both suspect him of killing The Killer Inside Me, Joyce, and Johnnie. Plummer also reveals that Maples killed himself, convinced of Lou's guilt. They show him a letter that Amy had written and intended to give him during their elopement, one which subtly urges him to confess. Lou denies that the letter is incriminating, but Plummer and Hendricks force him into a jail cell, where they try unsuccessfully to provoke a confession with audio of Johnnie's voice and pictures of Amy. Eventually, Lou's attorney arrives and releases him, though he admits that he cannot get Lou out of town. Lou ruminates on his past, concluding that his hatred and violence, especially towards women, stemmed from a childhood incident involving his old housekeeper molesting him in order to get back at his father, with whom she was unhappily involved in a sadomasochistic relationship; Lou realizes that his female victims were substitutes for her. Accepting his fate, Lou covers the house in alcohol and candles, intending to kill himself by setting the building on fire. Eventually, Plummer and Hendricks arrive with a team of police, as well as Joyce, who is revealed to be alive, albeit badly injured. Joyce assures Lou that she did not sell him out, and he affirms his affection for her before stabbing her to death. The police fire on Lou, killing him, but destroying the house in the process.
