Imagine a deadly fungus escaping a military base. Now, add a star-studded cast including Georgina Campbell, Joe Keery, Vanessa Redgrave, Lesley Manville, and Liam Neeson.

“Psycho Killer”: A Serial Killer's Pursuit
Gavin Polone's directorial debut, “Psycho Killer,” stars Georgina Campbell and Malcolm McDowell. The film follows an officer's pursuit of a serial killer who murdered her husband. It's a gripping tale of revenge and justice, but will it be a satisfying watch? You be the judge.
