Psycho Killer, the new slasher movie from Se7en writer Andrew Kevin Walker, is now in theaters, and the review embargo has just lifted. Looking at the film’s Rotten Tomatoes score, it’s easy to see why.

With 20 reviews added, Psycho Killer is currently sitting at 0%.

The story follows a Kansas highway patrol officer (Barbarian star Georgina Campbell) who sets out on a journey to track down the man responsible for the brutal murder of her husband. As the hunt progresses, she comes to realize the perpetrator (former pro wrestler James Preston Rogers) is a sadistic serial killer, and the depth of his mental depravity and his sinister agenda is more twisted than anyone could have imagined.

Directed by Gavin Polone, the movie also stars Grace Dove, Logan Miller, and Malcolm McDowell, and was produced by Roy Lee, Matt Berenson, Andrew Kevin Walker, and Arnon Milchan, with Martin Moszkowicz, Robert Kulzer, Yariv Milchan, Natalie Lehmann, and Kat Landsberg serving as executive producers.

From first-time feature director Gavin Polone and Andrew Kevin Walker, the screenwriter of Se7en, Psycho Killer is a slasher full of missteps and missed opportunities.
