Psycho Killer, the new slasher movie from Se7en writer Andrew Kevin Walker, is now in theaters, and the review embargo only lifted a few hours before its release. Looking at the film's Rotten Tomatoes score, it's easy to see why.

With 20 reviews added, Psycho Killer is currently sitting at 0%.

It's worth noting that not every review outright lambasts the movie, and some critics did have a few positive things to say about it, and that RT score has horror fans wondering if it can really be all that bad.

The story follows a Kansas highway patrol officer (Barbarian star Georgina Campbell) who sets out on a journey to track down the man responsible for the brutal murder of her husband. As the hunt progresses, she comes to realise that the perpetrator (former pro wrestler James Preston Rogers) is a sadistic serial killer, and the depth of his mental depravity and his sinister agenda is more twisted than anyone could have imagined.

Directed by Gavin Polone, the movie also stars Grace Dove, Logan Miller, and Malcolm McDowell, and was produced by Roy Lee, Matt Berenson, Andrew Kevin Walker, and Arnon Milchan, with Martin Moszkowicz, Robert Kulzer, Yariv Milchan, Natalie Lehmann, and Kat Landsberg serving as executive producers.

You can have a look at some of the reviews and reactions below.

I don't think that guy wrote anything in Se7en, probably just a nameless son of a son of a son of a nepo baby who took credit via rubber stamp so it looked good on his CV.

Hard to believe it's from the same writer as se7en.

@MCUKnight11 - it is and it isn’t

It seems like it’s been messed with a lot in post production from what I have heard.

More money for Scream 7 this week

@bobevanz - I hear from tracking sites and such that the opening projections keep rising for Scream 7 where it could be the second highest or highest opening for a film in that franchise…

That’s crazy and perhaps shows that the boycott was always just an internet thing.

Damn , that sucks considering I felt that the film had potential from what I had seen but once you find out the production history of this movie then it all starts to make sense…

It’s a script that had been in development hell for atleast 2 decades and at one point was going to be directed by Fred Durst (of Limp Bizkit fame) who then left and was replaced by producer Gavin Polone making his feature directorial debut who then had been attached to it since 2010 and then filmed the movie in 2023 (there is even some evidence that its been ripped apart in the edit aswell).

It seems like this film was doomed from the beginning and might not have even been the script Andrew Kevin Walker originally wrote entirely so just a mess overall.

Anyway atleast Georgina Campbell has Cold Storage out this week too which has positive reviews since she’s a good actress who doesn’t deserve the blame for this film!!.

Well I'm disappointed.

From the title, I thought it was a biopic about Hillary Clinton.

Haven't seen it, but this doesn't bode well. I watched the trailer and it looks kind of 'paint-by-numbers' to me. Wasn't planning on seeing it in theaters.

Yikes, Se73n is a classic. That's quite a falloff.

It's also sitting unfavourably with a 33% fan approval on RT. That's tough, I thought it would've been a bit better. Wonder what happened post-production for it to end up getting such bad reception.
