Kalifornia (1993)
Summary: In the name of research for a book he's writing on serial killers, Brian Kessler (David Duchovny) decides to take his girlfriend, Carrie (Michelle Forbes), on a cross-country car trip with stop-offs at famous murder locations. Hoping to find someone to split the costs with (his car gets only eight miles per gallon), Brian advertises on a local college bulletin board. Only one couple answers the ad: Early Grayce (Brad Pitt) and Adele Corners (Juliette Lewis). They look flat broke, but Brian still invites them to get in the car, hoping they can come up with the cash. During the first stages of the journey, Brian gets along with the newcomers, but Carrie is wary, and for good reason -- Early is a murderer, and, as the distance to California lessens, the body count piles up.
Review: Kalifornia is disturbing, and, while it doesn't overdo the blood, neither is the violence understated. The basic premise should be enough to keep the meek away -- if you have no desire to see a film that follows a serial killer, stay away from Kalifornia. However, those with more macabre tastes will find that this picture packs a little more punch than the traditional Hollywood slasher flick.
This is no Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. However, while the impact is far less wrenching, there are some similarities. Like Henry, Kalifornia doesn't glamorize its killings, opting more for the visceral than the grotesque. There's also quite a bit of intellectual speculation about what motivates serial killers. While some of that is out-of-place, it keeps the audience constantly questioning why Early sometimes reacts as he does.
David Duchovny and Michelle Forbes give the strongest performances, and since they're the ones we're supposed to identify with, the realism invested in Brian and Carrie adds some depth to Kalifornia. These two are fascinated by killers, but that fascination quickly turns to horror when they realize who's in the back seat.
