A Record of Sweet Murder2014

Horror Vault's take

Filmed in a relentless single-take found-footage style, this Korean-Japanese co-production places a journalist in a confined space with a confessed serial killer who claims his murders serve a higher, otherworldly purpose. As the interview unfolds in real time, the line between witness and participant begins to blur in deeply uncomfortable ways. The film's lo-fi aesthetic and unbroken perspective create a suffocating tension that never lets up. What starts as a crime confession spirals into something far stranger and more disturbing than either the reporter — or the audience — bargained for.
