100 Stupid Movies About Ridiculously Improbable Serial Killers

I can't believe I forgot about Whispers In The Dark haha.

53. Frailty

I enjoyed the first two thirds of it, but I can't pretend it isn't stupid.

52. Falling Down

Michael Douglas was a serial killer in that? I thought he just threatened people.

something that has actually happened is by definition more probable than something that never has

wtf with logic 101 over here...

I never saw it, I am making spurious assumptions.

I think pretending that serial killers as they exist IRL and serial killers as they are portrayed in cinema are on the same level of improbability is wilfully naive.

51. Black Christmas

something that has actually happened is by definition more probable than something that never has

wtf with logic 101 over here...

Wow, somehow you just managed to be wrong according to both logic and math in a single sentence. I'm impressed.

It's amazing how much of Falling Down is a mediocre Robert Duvall vehicle when the ads were all THIS WHITE MAN'S MAD AS HELL AND NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE. But then Robert Duvall vehicles don't really sell.

49. Death Proof

49. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

There have really been people who used their car to kill!!! like Laura Bush

48. Leprechaun

lol and Brandy!

47. The Hills Have Eyes

46. THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS

Leprechaun's not really a serial killer is he...?

45. every slasher movie ever?

46. THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS

^^^^^oh man yes "so that's where all the money in the ghetto went"

44. Beethoven

43. Beethoven's 2nd

latebloomer see my comment upthread re: slasher movies... I'm talkin about a specific kind of serial killer film portrayal - where the killer is some kind of crazy genius playing intricate games and killing people in incredibly convoluted ways all because of some grand design the killer has.

(I guess that would include some slasher movies but it excludes quite a lot)

42 - 1. Identity

I must admit I've never seen Leprechaun. I retract it and replace it with Murder By Death

(xpost)Haha it's dumb enough that it's a fair cop.

xpost OMG I can't wait for the serial killer who ONLY USES HIS CAR as a murder weapon.

41. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/09/Lastsuppermovie.jpg/200px-Lastsuppermovie.jpg

I am literally the only person on Earth who liked "Identity" ;_;

40. "And Then There Were None"/"Ten Little Indians"

yes, you are. xpost

Donald Kaufman: Listen, I need a cool way to kill people. Don't worry, for my script.
Charlie Kaufman: I don't know that kind of stuff.
Donald Kaufman: Oh, come on, man, please? You're the genius.
Charlie Kaufman: Here you go. The killer's a literature professor. He cuts off little chunks from his victims' bodies until they die. He calls himself "the deconstructionist".

No wait my wife liked it too ^_^

39. "Happy Birthday To Me" (kind of)

38. Eating Raoul

Identity was cool, except for the twist.

As I remember PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS, it's so silly that it's obvious that it's a fairy story.

Re: "Identity", If you're going to do that type of twist, though, that's about the only way you can do it.

37. Zodiac

OMG I can't wait for the serial killer who ONLY USES HIS CAR as a murder weapon.
