In the film directed by award-winning director Adam Wingard (Pop Skull), notorious siller killer Garrick Turrell (AJ Bowen, House of the Devil, Hatchet II) has just escaped police custody and resumed his killing spree. His former girlfriend and recovering alcoholic Sarah (Amy Seimetz, Alexander the Last) has recently moved to a small Midwestern town and is trying to put her life back together. She regularly attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, where she meets fellow addict Kevin (Joe Swanberg). Kevin is romantically interested in Sarah, but she remains withdrawn: her past continues to haunt her and may soon catch up with her, as Garrick is leaving a trail of bodies in his hunt to find her…

Mark L. Miller from Ain’t It Cool News called A Horrible Way to Die “In close and personal with a serial killer…an intimate look at how one madman can affect the lives of so many,” while Scott Weinberg from FEARnet declared it “a crafty and calmly mysterious little road thriller that earns big points for simplicity, intensity, and plain old good acting,” and Mike Suave from Exclaim.ca enthuses “…so well constructed that your jaw actually drops.”

Bonus features on A Horrible Way to Die Blu-ray and DVD include audio commentary by director/editor Wingard and writer/producer Simon Barrett, a behind the scenes featurette and the theatrical trailer.
