THE KILLER INSIDE ME Domestic Trailer And Poster

IFC has released the domestic poster and trailer for THE KILLER INSIDE ME, via Apple, you can watch it using the media player below. But this trailer is quite formulaic, your typical thriller trailer, not as riveting as the previous UK Trailer which put more emphasis on the excellent cinematography. But both still remind us that this might just be Casey Affleck‘s next finest hour.
He’s beginning to seem like… if that cold blooded killer Anton Chigurh from No Country For Old Men gets to carry his own story or lead star in his own movie. That’s the impression I’m getting, watch the trailer after this jump…

From director Michael Winterbottom (A Mighty Heart) for a movie adaptation titled THE KILLER INSIDE ME based on the ‘dark’ noir novel of the same title by author Jim Thompson. The story is told through the eyes of its protagonist, Lou Ford (Casey Affleck), a deputy sheriff in a small Texas town. He is slowly revealed to be a deeply disturbed murderer—one who is paranoid-schizophrenic, sociopathic, cunning, and ruthless.
Ford murders a prostitute (Jessica Alba) and her lover, the latter a son of a local millionaire and the real power in town. Ford then proceeds to build himself a solid alibi and frame other people for the double homicide. However, to successfully frame others when the evidence starts to go against him, he has to commit additional murders or induce further deaths. But these only increase suspicion until the local authorities begin stripping away his “normal” mask. Then he reveals the full nature of the inner demons that drive his criminal behavior.
