Sundance 2014: KILLERS Trailer

Twitch has posted up a new trailer for the upcoming Mo Brothers‘ film Killers, which is set to premiere at Sundance in just a couple weeks.  This Indonesian film revolves around two killers competing against each another- one a sadistic serial killer and the other, a blood-thirsty vigilante.  One half of the Mo Brothers, Timo Tjahjanto, co-directed the crazy-awesome Safe Haven segment in V/H/S/2 so I’m definitely excited for this one.

Killers will be making its world premiere as part of Sundance’s midnight series on January 20.  There’s no U.S. theatrical release date as of yet.  Hit the jump to check out the trailer and synopsis.

Mr. Nomura is an eerily handsome, sharply dressed, sociopathic serial killer who preys on the women of Tokyo. In Jakarta, a world-weary journalist named Bayu finds himself unexpectedly falling into vigilantism after brutally killing two sadistic robbers. When each posts videos of his violent sprees online, the pair find one another on the Internet and begin a toxic and competitive duel. While Bayu clings to the hope that he can resume a normal life, Nomura continues to spill blood without remorse. Killing, advises Nomura, is something everyone ought to consider.

Timo Tjahjanto, codirector of the V/H/S/2 segment “Safe Haven,” returns to Park City at Midnight, collaborating with longtime filmmaking partner Kimo Stromboel on their bleak and blood-soaked second feature as creative team The Mo Brothers. Killers uses energetic camerawork and a wildly varied musical score to vividly capture brutality in ways both bone-rattlingly frenetic and serenely transfixing, while always keeping audience members aware of their complicity with the characters’ own bloodlust.
