Marcus Miller is a bad man. The newest cold-blooded (and I mean cold-blooded, this is guy is batshit crazy!) killer to hit the silver screen is the star of Matt Farnsworth's violent new film The Orphan Killer. And he doesn't fuck around.
As you'll see by the trailer below, The Orphan Killer is a very Halloween-esque film. But if you're going to model yourself after something, why not one of the most successful independent films of all time?
So what do we know about this new slasher, Marcus Miller? Just judging by the trailer, he's really, really brutal. I would make the argument that he swings an axe with as much aggression and bad intentions as anyone I've ever seen (but I think that nun had it coming).
The Orphan Killer was written and directed by Matt Farnsworth (he also plays Mike in the film) and stars David Backus as Miller.

Gris Grimly is one of modern horror's iconoclasts. An accomplished artist, his work has adorned books by everyone from Edgar Allan Poe to Neil Gaiman. He's also directed short films and videos starring the likes of Elvira. And he's developing a feature-length, stop-motion-animated version of Pinocchio with none other than Guillermo Del Toro. We caught up with him last week on the set of his second short (after Cannibal Flesh Riot) – Wounded Embark of the Lovesick Mind, starring David Backhaus and Darla Gordon. The film details what happens when the aptly named Lovesick – a young man on the brink of some Poe-style madness – realizes that Beauty, the object of his affection, has had enough of him. This...
