Jacob Elordi slashing his way through a thriller? Yes, please. The “Priscilla” and “Saltburn” star co-leads Tribeca Film Festival entry “He Went That Way” alongside Zachary Quinto.
The duo brings the harrowing true story of a 1964 serial killer to life, with Quinto portraying a celebrity animal trainer who picks up a hitchhiker (Elordi), only to discover his passenger is a young, cunning serial killer. Patrick J. Adams also stars, as well as a live monkey.
Directed by Jeffrey Darling, “He Went That Way” follows a teen serial killer across the Midwest. The IndieWire review called Elordi’s character a “sociopathic teenager lurking the backroads of America in search of free rides, only to brutally kill anyone who shows him a hint of generosity.”
Yet, the film takes a turn, with the review adding, “As the two men get to know each other, the film shifts its focus so sharply towards...

Vertical has acquired domestic distribution rights to “He Went That Way.”
Directed by Jeffrey Darling, the film tells the true story of a celebrity animal handler who picked up a young hitchhiker who turned out to be a serial murderer. Jacob Elordi plays the diabolical deviant. He broke out in Netflix’s “The Kissing Booth” trilogy and has starred in the likes of “Saltburn” and “Priscilla.”
Patrick J. Adams of “Suits” fame stars. That decade-old USA legal comedy inexplicably became a streaming sensation on Netflix this past summer.
Penned by Evan M. Weiner, “He Went That Way” had its world premiere at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival. Vertical plans to release the film in theaters in early 2024. It is inspired by Conrad Hillberry’s book, “Luke Karamazov” and the real-life account of Dave Pitts’ encounter with Larry Lee Ranes. Pitts was the sole survivor in Ranes’ killing spree.

Like “Singin’ in the Rain” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” before it, “He Went That Way” tells the story of an iconic performer struggling to adapt to changing public tastes. Unlike those films, the performer in question is a monkey named Spanky.
In the late 1950s, Spanky dominated the variety show circuit with his mastery of the beloved midcentury comedy trope known as “monkeys doing things that monkeys don’t typically do.” But in a post-Beatles America in 1964, family-friendly chimp hijinks just aren’t enough to impress the Ed Sullivans and Perry Comos of the world. The monkey that was once the most popular TV star in America is now scrounging for gigs.

The foundations of He Went That Way would appear to promise a movie with curiosity, tension, volatility and perhaps even the kind of improbable bonding that can grow out of Stockholm syndrome. Putting a celebrity animal trainer, a serial killer and a chimp together in a station wagon headed across Route 66 in the turbulent mid-’60s at the very least suggests something with edge and compelling strangeness. Which makes it disappointing to report that despite the best efforts of co-stars Jacob Elordi and Zachary Quinto, this ineffectual true-crime road trip is entirely lacking in danger.
The film was made by Jeffrey Darling, a respected Australian industry veteran acclaimed for his work as a cinematographer, a music video director (for Crowded House) and, most notably, as a maker of award-winning international commercials for some of the world’s biggest brands. In March 2022, his body was pulled from the ocean by lifeguards...
