“Starting a family can be murder.”
Directed by Conor Boru
🏆 1 win & 5 nominations
The premise
When Norman Graysmith is invited into the home of an aspiring serial killer, Aidan Mendle, he believes he has the subject for the documentary that will make his career.
Horror Vault's take
A fledgling documentary filmmaker thinks he's struck gold when he gains exclusive access to a man with murderous aspirations — and an unnerving amount of self-belief to match. What begins as an oddly compelling portrait of delusion steadily curdles into something far more dangerous as the line between observer and participant blurs. Sharp British black comedy collides with genuine menace in this mockumentary that skewers true crime culture and the egos that feed it.
