A self-help addict takes a road trip with a life coach who happens to be a deranged serial killer.

Alix Turner

Ready Steady Cut

A British comedy-drama about female killers is a much more satisfying cocktail than that description would suggest. Debut feature from Staten Cousins-Roe.

Rated: 4/5

Film Inquiry

It is an enjoyable if not ground-breaking debut feature from the director with two great turns from its leads.

Flickering Myth

It reaches for Thelma & Louise, but hasn't really put in the groundwork.

Rated: 2/5

Wicked Horror

An inescapably and very proudly female story. The deadpan, irreverent sense of humor suits the material perfectly. ...[It's] also a ruthless skewering of so-called wellness culture.

Film Threat

A bone-dry dark horror-comedy, A Serial Killer's Guide to Life, is I Heart Huckabees meets American Psycho by way of Thelma and Louise.

Rated: 7/10

Starburst

From Cousins-Roe's sublime writing in twisted humour and character development to Roe and Brayben's sensational chemistry, this film is funny, heartwarming and brutal all in the right measure and should not be missed.

Rated: 9/10

A joy to view! Weird, wonderful, "off-beat" barely captures it. It wonderfully bizarre while making so much sense. I don't want to spoil so I won't say what she sends at the end but it's priceless.

ASKGTL is a dark British comedy that starts well before struggling in the last third. There's blood and violence to keep horror hounds happy. Probably better to get life tips elsewhere.

Unexpectedly delightful and enjoyably done. Keep an open mind though.
