User:Movietriv13/Cyrus - Mind Of A Serial Killer

Cyrus - Mind of a Serial Killer is a 2010 film directed by Mark Vadik. Inspired by a true story, a small independent news crew, made up of reporter Maria (Danielle Harris) and her camera man Tom (Tony Yalda), investigates a series of unexplained disappearances in a small Midwestern county. The story leads them to the isolated town of Arkham Heights, where they find themselves interviewing Emmett (Lance Henriksen), who possesses an all too intimate knowledge of the details of "The County Line Cannibal" - Cyrus (Brian Krause). As Emmett inter-weaves the macabre life tale of Cyrus with the story of his last three victims, Maria comes closer and closer to the greatest story of her life - or what's left of it. Filled with reenacted documentary footage of actual forensic experts, serial killers and police authorities, "Cyrus" presents a simultaneously beautiful and horrific examination of the destructive nature of cause and effect leading to the creation of the most prolific serial killer in the history of the United States. The character of Cyrus is loosely based on real life serial killer Fritz Haarmann.

The film was shot in High Definition on location in Niles, Michigan. It has been called a hyrid of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.
