Gimly
5/10

Hm. I guess I liked this more than I thought I would based on the trailer. But less than I should have given the cast. Awkwardly editted and a stretch to call the acting "okay", Killers Anonymous had something going on, but not something worth a second go around. Didn't hate it, can't recommend it.

_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
