Killing Auntie

About This Movie

Killing Auntie is a peculiar entry from 1985 that lingers somewhere between dark comedy and unsettling drama. The film dives deep into the psyche of a 21-year-old whose mind is a twisted landscape of fantasies and confessions. It opens with him unloading his guilt to a priest about offing his aunt—definitely not your standard setup. The pacing feels intentionally erratic, almost mirroring his mental state, and there's this underlying tension that keeps you on edge. And just when you think the narrative will spiral out of control, his aunt pops back into the picture, alive and well. The practical effects are modest but effective, adding to that weird fairy tale vibe. Overall, it’s a unique piece that invites you to grapple with its themes of guilt and reality.
