Here’s a brief re-enactment of the conventional serial-killer-thriller that we, the audience have become accustomed to:
Act 1: Tough as nails, world-weary cop Sam ‘QuickFire’ McHardBalls is teamed up with a no-good-rookie sidekick, Johnny ‘Cannon Fodder’ McOptimist. When a series of grisly murders turn up on their desk, they realise that there’s some sick mutha out there with a taste for people-blood. McHardBalls at this point may utter; ‘I’m getting too old for this shit.’
