This presentation will focus on serial killer films and reference a number of titles including And Soon the Darkness (UK 1970), Las horas del día (Spain 2003), Seven (USA 1995) and Sombre (France 1998). The seriality of serial killing – the temporal form of narratives of multiple murder – touches on perceptions about the organization of time in modern culture and the fears and also pleasures it affords. Much of what makes it so resonant is the very naming of it ‘serial’. Serial killing is an extremely rare form of homicide that is nonetheless culturally ubiquitous.
