Set to have its world premiere in Sundance prior to a February 6th theatrical release in Indonesia, a new trailer has been released for The Mo Brothers' sophomore feature,
Killers. Here's how Sundance describes the film:
Mr. Nomura is an eerily handsome, sharply dressed, sociopathic serial
killer who preys on the women of Tokyo. In Jakarta, a world-weary
journalist named Bayu finds himself unexpectedly falling into
vigilantism after brutally killing two sadistic robbers. When each posts
videos of his violent sprees online, the pair find one another on the
Internet and begin
a toxic and competitive duel. While Bayu clings to the hope that he can
resume a normal life, Nomura continues to spill blood without remorse.
Killing, advises Nomura, is something everyone ought to consider.
Timo Tjahjanto, codirector of the V/H/S/2
segment "Safe Haven," returns to Park City at Midnight, collaborating
with longtime filmmaking partner Kimo Stromboel on their bleak and
blood-soaked second feature as creative team The Mo Brothers. Killers
uses energetic camerawork and a wildly varied musical score to vividly
capture brutality in ways both bone-rattlingly frenetic and serenely
transfixing, while always keeping audience members aware of their
complicity with the characters' own bloodlust.
Take a look at the new trailer below!
