Production
[edit]The idea for the film was inspired by a man director Undergaro was friends with, who unknowingly turned out to be a sociopath. Shooting was completed in a brisk four-week span, and the film is known for discovering actress Beth Behrs before landing her breakout role on CBS' 2 Broke Girls.[3]
It is also credited with being the first "serial killer buddy comedy".[4]
Reception
[edit]John Campea of Collider Movie News has described the film as "Dexter meets Dumb and Dumber."[5]
Critic Scott Mantz has called the film "seriously funny. Wacky twisted fun." And entertainment journalist Ben Lyons has said the film is a "fearless farce for fans of funny."[6]
