I used to volunteer a lot of my time for the Citizen Commission on Human Rights, documenting, exposing, and disseminating psychiatric abuse. Today, I still volunteer, though not as much. Therefore, I feel qualified to say Killer Therapy into the making of a psycho killer.

Co-written and directed by Barry Jay, Killer Therapy follows a young man named Brain, played skillfully by Jonathan Taylor, who looks for help in his therapists, because he has issues with his father, mother, and adopted sister.

His life becomes lost in the mental health system, bouncing around from therapist after therapist, growing up into a young man, also played skillfully by Skyler Caleb, who is worse off than when he started going to the therapists. He still has anger issues, but it’s all twisted and confused from his psychotherapy.

When his life eventually hits rock bottom and falls apart, he correctly blames his therapists, embarking on the dark revenge of everyone who ever wronged him.

One-by-one, he kills his former therapists, then finally he comes to terms with the fact that that system doesn’t work, and he must accept his shortcomings by helping himself get better.

Killer Therapy is a horror, slasher movie, but not like the usual. Here you get the killers backstory, finding out that his therapists contributed to the making of a psycho slasher. It’s driven but a disjointed view that offers insight into the importance of reforming the mental health system.

The rest of the cast includes Elizabeth Keener, Thom Mathews, PJ Soles, Adrienne King, Daeg Faerch, Javon Johnson, and Ivy George.
