The activities of rampaging, indiscriminate serial killer Ben are recorded by a willingly complicit documentary team, who eventually become his accomplices and active participants. Ben provides casual commentary on the nature of his work and arbitrary musings on topics of interest to him, such as music or the conditions of low-income housing, and even goes so far as to introduce the documentary crew to his family. But their reckless indulgences soon get the better of them.

"Can’t believe I had not watched this film yet. How did this fly under my radar for so long? I gave this film 4.5 stars on Letterbox’d, but I’m going to round down to 4 stars on this app. I reserve 5 stars for films that imprint themselves upon me.
This is a subtle, dark comedy with some violent scenes which, I feel, serve to punctuate the moments of humor.
This isn’t a comedy everyone will enjoy. But, those who will… I’m sure you know who you are… don’t put off this film, cos it’s a great watch. :)"

"Certainly a unique film. Dark. I see why it's rated NC-17. Not exactly what I expected but extremely interesting. Most serial killers aren't depicted as so gawky, awkward, and weak."
James Neumann
"Quite a graphic and potent movie. Not for the faint of heart."
Drew Contractor
"I only got through half of it. But what I watched was very affecting. In my case too affecting."
