Review of Simon Killer (2012) by Matthew S — 28 Sep 2013
Odd Neo-Thriller staring gifted actor, Brady Corbet. Antonio Campos creates an intense atmospheric character study of a mentally unstable young man. In the hands of most filmmakers this film would have become a dark erotic thriller complete with a handy-wrapped-up conclusion.
However, Campos has something all together different in mind. This is an experimental film that seems to flow rather than propel forward. Sexually confused and emotionally stunted, Simon drifts through Paris in a mental downward spiral.
Corbet is at once both vulnerable and horrifying. Well-crafted and psychologically compelling, SIMON KILLER is a moody Parisian-infused nightmare that is difficult to forget or dismiss.
