Who’s the hottest female serial killer ever? This question is posed by Morgan (Ingrid Jungermann) and her ex-girlfriend Jean (Ann Carr) during their true crime podcast in a new trailer for “Women Who Kill.” The pair focus specifically on female serial killers. While they’re used to analyzing crime from afar, the spot suggests that Morgan and Jean get in over their heads when Morgan develops a romance with Simone, a mysterious woman (Sheila Vand) who may be a dangerous criminal.
“Simone Ellis isn’t Simone Ellis,” Jean tells Morgan. She suspects that her ex’s new paramour is using a fake name and is actually the daughter of a serial killer.
“Women Who Kill” premiered at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival, where the comedy-thriller took home the narrative feature screenplay award. Writer-director Jungermann told us that the plot was inspired by her “unhealthy obsession with ‘Serial,’ … history of failed relationships, and a desire to deconstruct romantic comedy structure. I wanted to make a movie that felt both familiar and foreign and tap into the universal problem of loneliness,” she explained.
Jungermann co-created “The Slope” and created “F to 7th.”
“Women Who Kill” opens in theaters July 26 and hits VOD August 29.
