Mark is at first reluctant when aspiring producer Seth and writer Holly want him to help them make a movie about a local serial killer: after all, they might figure out that he is behind them, but figures it could be interesting. However when rivalries, crushes, and outside influence begin to cloud his mind the harder it is to tell if he's in his own story or theirs. And who knows what direction the story will go in next?

Killer Concept doesn’t reinvent the slasher wheel, but it does supply a helluva good time.

Killer Concept comes alive when the writers' are trying to formulate the story, and we've no doubt that the situation will ring true to many indie creatives.

Rated: 3/5

The writing is especially tight, though I do wish we got to find out a little more about the killer's motivations. That said, it is both engaging and entertaining; and when you consider the minuscule budget, it's all around an impressive result.

Rated: 3/5

Eye for Film

It's not the most attention-grabbing film you'll see this year, but it does what it does well and that's worthy of attention in any up-and-coming creative team.

Rated: 3/5

Flickering Myth

Killer Concept doesn't quite take its horror or comedy far enough, but there's clear talent behind the production, and I'm curious to see what they come up with next.

There is a lot to like about this movie. First of all, the camera work is fantastic, and the music is on point. Not your average serial killer movie. This one comes from a different and exciting perspective. All actors do a great job, but Mark's character is outstanding, played by who also happens to be the director (Glenn Payne). It is very nice to find independent projects of such quality and talented people. The story has many surprises, which I won't talk about, but expect the unexpected from start to finish. I highly recommend it!

Couldn't get through it. Same old rote useless horseshit. As if I didn't know one of them was the killer in the first 1.2 seconds.

Unlike a lot of low budget indie horror movies, this one stays away from cliche, focuses on well-written and entertaining dialogue, and most of all, has a lot of fun with the genre. To say they got a lot of mileage for their money undercuts some seriously good filmmaking.
