I’m Just A Killer For Your Love (1997)

Albarn once claimed that this one is about the AIDS crisis, we believe him, but we think we'll go down a different route...

The Movie:

Two serial killers, one male, one female, meet by chance in a bar, and fall in love.

But they’re separated before they can exchange numbers when the police burst in and they both assume they're there to arrest them.

Unable to stop thinking about each other, they separately decide to stage a series of elaborate murders that double as clues to their location.

The male murderer, Dan Abnormal, slaughters groups of people to represent the individual numbers in his mobile number.

So, first he tortures a group of people, but kills none of them (0), then he kills seven people in a diner (7), then eight at a gig (8) and so on.

Daisy Bell, the female killer, decides to murder someone from every address on her road, except hers.

The closing scene sees Dan, holding a bunch of flowers, about to knock on Daisy’s door. As he lifts his fist to knock, his phone rings.

It’s essentially Slumdog Millionaire, with chainsaws.

The Cast:

Vincent Gallo as Dan, Asia Argento as Daisy, with Dario Argento and Richard Curtis co-directing.

Sample Dialogue:

Following his first ever brutal and bloody murder, Dan’s fingers are covered in gore. In a voice-over he says:

Dan: “I wipe my hands on the grass, ‘cause now I know that nothing ever lasts.”
