Body Count

1986 · 96 min

A grim, low-budget slasher that feels like a grimier, more character-driven episode of a crime show, with a melancholic edge.

Overview: It's about a serial killer with terminal cancer who leaves numbered cards on his victim's bodies, a girl who falls in love with him, a loser cabbie who becomes the prime suspect, an old asshole police sergeant, and a radio reporter who takes the law into his own hands.
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, tense and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Crime, obsession, death, isolation
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
