The Killer Inside Me

Nobody Sees It Coming

2010109 min5.8 / 10

A dark psychological thriller about a charming small-town deputy concealing a sadistic psychopath beneath a respectable facade, built on brutal violence and the horror of hidden depravity.

Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford is a pillar of the community in his small west Texas town, patient and apparently thoughtful. Some people think he is a little slow and maybe boring, but that is the worst they say about him. But then nobody knows about what Lou calls his "sickness": He is a brilliant, but disturbed sociopathic sadist.
