etc.

True story: Graham Young, mildly antisocial British youth with a penchant for playing with chemicals, kills family, is convicted, receives prison sentence at age 14, proclaimed “cured” by age 23, released from prison, kills again. I like serial killer stories as much as the next guy, but I hadn’t heard of this one until I saw the movie. It’s deadpan and terribly funny at times, mostly in a way that makes you shake your head in disbelief that this kid could have gotten away with his shenanigans for so long. As a film it works really well, Graham’s victims and near-victims are all completely caricatured so it ends up being a trippy look into the psyche of a lunatic kid rather than anything sad or horrifying (which, in reality, it probably was).
