Serial killer flicks are a dime a dozen lately, and in certain cases I mean that literally (I'm looking at You, Ulli Lommel). However, every now and again one that looks like a winner gets thrown into the pack. The stand-out this time is a little film called Two:Thirteen, and its trailer just hit the web.
What is Two:Thirteen, you ask? Well, let's take a look at the official synopsis, shall we?
"A police profiler has just returned from psychiatric leave only to find that he is caught up in the rampage of a serial killer who has a love of Shakespeare. Fighting to keep buried the trauma of his childhood, the profiler must confront the all too-familiar flesh masks that the killer leaves on the faces of his victims. He must face his own demons along with the killer to save his small eroding existence."
How headsy! The film...
