The Ugly

“Murder is in the eye of the beholder.”

In New Zealand, a psychiatric hospital holds Simon Cartwright (Paolo Rotondo), a confessed serial killer who has spent five years inside. Dr. Karen Schumaker (Rebecca Hobbs) is brought in to decide whether he has been cured, and Scott Reynolds, in his first feature, stays close to the two of them in the interview room. Simon starts talking about his past and his victims, and Karen has to keep listening, whatever his answers might cost her.
