Christopher Webster [Celluloid 11.12.15] thriller crime



Marilyn Manson is virtually unrecognizable as a troubled hit man in Let Me Make You a Martyr, a film that looks and sounds like an instant indie crime classic. A cerebral revenge film about two adopted siblings who fall in love, and hatch a plan to kill their abusive father, the film looks to be a throwback to crime films of the 90s.

Besides Marilyn Manson, the film stars Sons of Anarchy's Mark Boone alongside Niko Nicotera, Sam Quartin, George Carroll and Michael Potts.


Synopsis:
LMMYAM takes place in two alternating realities – one during the events from Drew’s arrival until his inevitable death, and the other existing in what our audience assumes is Drew’s lucid mind. In this realm, Drew befriends a callus, rude, and ultimately homicidal old man who serves as a guide between two worlds.

What we ultimately learn is that this nonsensical dystopic reality serves a greater purpose. From the moment Drew arrives into town up until the moments of his death, the story chronicles the consequences of abuse and betrayal while exploring the choices human beings make as a result of fear, love, lust, and hatred.


LMMYAM is co-writer and directored by Corey Asraf and John Swab.
It is due out in 2016.




Recommended Release: Palookavile
