THE EXCLUSIVE BEAT THE DEVIL'S TATTOO (2015) Fantasia 2016

News reporter on the outs in every way finds that he has a ticket to the top when he ends up with an anonymous tip concerning a spate of serial killings. The thing is nothing is as it seems and in order to cover his mistake things become a web of lies which end up directing him toward the actual killer...

Odd mix of comedy and chills is complicated by a thread of social commentary about the things that the media does in order to feed the beast that is the news cycle. Its a mix that helps to keep you on edge since you don't know from minute to minute if you're going to be laughing at something funny or wincing from an act of violence.

I like this film a great deal and recommend it.
