The new thriller by “The Mo Brothers”, KILLERS, tells the tale of two men: a calculating serial killer in Japan and a family man in Indonesia. As they discover each other, they start to form a twisted relationship, slowly leading them into a spiral of chaos, where violence becomes an addiction. The exceedingly violent film caused a sensation at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

Director biography
Together, Timo Tjahjanto and Kimo Stamboel form the Indonesian horror film team “The Mo Brothers”. Following a couple of short features, they had their international breakthrough with the violent horror slasher MACABRE. Timo Tjahjanto then went on to direct segments of US horror anthology films THE ABC OF DEATH (2012) and V/H/S/2 (2013). The Japanese/Indonesian co-production KILLERS marks their first cooperation since MACABRE.
