Mauro Borrelli’s new film Mindcage enters the canon of serial killer movies with an artistic bent. And it makes sense because Borrelli himself is a classically trained painter. After training with Franciscan monks, he worked with legendary directors such as Bernardo Bertolucci. Now, he’s brought his love of art into his new film.
Read the full synopsis:
In this spellbinding thriller, detectives Jake Doyle (Martin Lawrence) and Mary Kelly (Melissa Roxburgh) seek the help of an incarcerated serial killer named The Artist (John Malkovich) when a copycat killer strikes. While Mary searches for clues in The Artist’s brilliant but twisted psyche, she and Jake are lured into a diabolical game of cat and mouse, racing against time to stay one step ahead of The Artist and his copycat.
Dread Central sat down with Borrelli about his career as a painter, serial killers, M. Night Shyamalan, and more.
