From acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People) and with a star studded cast including (Gone Baby Gone), Kate Hudson (Almost Famous) and Jessica Alba (Sin City) comes THE KILLER INSIDE ME. Based on the definitive pulp fiction novel of the same name by Jim Thompson, THE KILLER INSIDE ME electrified and stunned audiences on the 2010 film festival circuit.
Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford (Casey Affleck) is a pillar of his small Texan community, a quiet charmer with a sweet fiancé (Kate Hudson). Ford hides his true nature, until he’s asked to run prostitute Joyce (Jessica Alba) out of town and she re-awakens his dark urges. In his first lead role since Gone Baby Gone, Casey Affleck is terrifying as the psychotic Ford, whilst both Hudson and Alba break away from type casting as the women who love him.
In THE KILLER INSIDE ME Winterbottom has created a chilling portrayal of a psychopath in the tradition of AMERICAN PSYCHO.
