Carroll McKane, having already killed 17 couples, sets up eight DV cameras on reticulated arms in a warehouse to document his crimes and kidnaps a celebrated psychologist in hopes that he will write his biography.
Told entirely from the perspective of McKane’s unblinking cameras, 39 is a disturbing slice of verite filmmaking from Gary Sherman, director of DEAD AND BURIED and RAW MEAT, making his return to the genre after over a decade’s absence. Make no mistake, this is a graphic and unsettling work, but it doesn’t rely on abject depravity or exploitative gore to disturb. No, this one’s by Carroll McKane, who’s far too obsessed with himself to let his victims take centre stage. - Text Courtesy of Fantasia International Film Festival
