PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one here who has watched The Postcard Killings and thought about Sam and Dean

Like if their life had gone a little differently

That could be them.

Traveling across the country, not to hunt monsters, but people. Telling the world their story through beautifully grotesque tableaus, begging for acceptance and fighting for validity.

Every lesson they were taught, they learned through violence. So that's the only way they believe they can teach others.

I know I got a little too focused on the wrong part of the movie, I'm pretty sure I was supposed to care more about Detective Kanon getting closure and justice for his daughter, but the second I heard the line "You'll find her with him" was said I knew that the killers were the siblings and that there was some crazy codependent incest going on

Dean would be Marina. She's clearly the leader, and her determination to see their work through to the end reminds me so much of him lol

Sam, of course, is an abomination would then be Simon. He's softer, seems to be less attached to Marina than she is to him, and when they read the article that gives them the recognition and validity they're after he's actually willing to just stop and run away with Marina because they got what they were after. Which, I'm (not) sorry, but that came across as so sam-coded to me. Like just wanting to put everything behind them so that they can be together in peace? Sam.

I wanted to put this in tags, but I want to squeeze in too many similarities so it's really long

#If I had a nickel for every time JDM played a father in a piece of media where a pair of siblings with insane daddy issues were raised in an abusive environment, causing them to not only become codependent to the point where you cannot separate them, but also form an incredibly deep bond that extends well past romantic or sexual desire but is expressed through those things (also violence) because those are the only things that can actually compare to the intensity and passion

#I would have two nickels #which isn't a lot but it's REALLY weird that it happened twice

I watched The Postcard Killings on a whim recently and I was not at all expecting the incest between the adopted brother/sister serial killer duo. Loved that, at the end, the main detective guy remarked that the duo could've just lived a happy life together instead of going on a killing spree to declare their love, since they weren't even blood related anyway, haha. The things we do for love 😅

Love the main detective's casual attitude!

I didn't know there was adopted bro/sis incest in this. Thanks so much for the info!

WATCHLIST 2022: The Postcard Killings

[crawledthru500]

The Postcard Killings (2020)

dir. Danis Tanović

Star rating: 1.5/5

spoilers under the cut

it's very rare for a movie to be so bad that i wouldn't rewatch it, but somehow The Postcard Killings did that. i was pretty excited for this!! im a huge fan of crime thrillers, and after i watched Se7en i was itching for something in the genre. this movie not only was boring, it also made me... mad???

i am a huge fan of Jeffrey Dean Morgan and i think he did SUCH a great job during this movie (as usual, all of his performances i've liked) but his character was very shallow and made little to no sense. he plays a detective whose daughter was brutally murdered in London by a couple known as the Postcard Killers. not only does JDM's character not have any reason to work with the police, as he is an AMERICAN cop and not a London cop, but later in the movie he gets given a GUN!!! after he has shown he is unstable and WILL kill the suspects if given the chance.

i guess now that we're on the topic of the suspects, i do like the way they're framed at the beginning -- a couple traveling when they meet a sketchy guy, but turns out HES not the killer, THEY are. that's the only good thing i can say about these two. as the movie went on, i started loathing any screentime they had. any scene without JDM i really didn't like, unless it was one with Famke Janssen who is in this movie??? for some reason???

anyways, back to the couple who... i guess i have to say this, are actually brother and sister. and the reason they kill is because they want the world to understand their love... gross!!! i saw the twist of them being siblings from a mile away, but i did NOT guess they would ACTUALLY BE LOVERS... they're also so young??? i don't understand how they could kill in such intricate ways and be this young... it seems like they would have had longer experience, but i guess now.

the kills are very cool and interesting, i also don't think the gore is half bad!! i'm always a huge fan of creativity in murder, so that's the only props i'll give to the movie. it doesn't excuse the weird/out of place choices of dialogue, or the very VERY choppy slow motion. i do not get when movies use choppy, low frame rate, slowmo. it never looks good. the color also doesn't look good but i can't really pinpoint why??? also, there's a scene where JDM is facetiming Jean Grey (i literally don't know JDM's or Famke Janssen's characters's names) but Jean Grey is... on the phone?? WHAT lmao. (unless i totally misread the scene)

in my notes for this movie, i wrote "if this ends with JDM either dying or killing [the suspects], this movie gets one star" and guess what, he sure did shoot one of them! i forget whether the one he shot (the brother) dies or not, so extra half a star for only trying to kill one of them. oh well.

choices were made for sure!

The Postcard Killings Danis Tanovic UK/USA/Germany, 2020 ★★ That was a lot. It's just too bad that the movie didn't fully embrace the over-the-topness. Go for it, movie! Stick to your guns!

[patwrites]

Incestuous serial killer siblings with daddy issues. Intriguing!!!

[bethannangel]

Two movies with Famke Janssen tonight. Idk how it happened but I’m not mad
