Cindy Sherman's only feature film as director gets its moment on the big screen at The Beverly Theater. "Office Killer" is a 1997 horror-comedy that follows a mild-mannered copy editor whose life takes a gruesome turn after an office accident leaves her with a taste for murder. What starts as workplace drudgery spirals into something much stranger, blending dark humor with slasher conventions in a way that's become something of a cult favorite among fans of offbeat 90s cinema.
The film's blend of camp, gore, and pointed satire about corporate culture makes it an interesting fit for a theater known for showcasing work outside the mainstream. Sherman's background as a visual artist shows through in the film's compositions, giving even the most gruesome moments a strange kind of visual interest. It's the sort of movie that rewards a big screen and an audience willing to embrace its unusual tone.
