Suburban Nightmare (2004)

Better-than-average video feature about the squabbles of a husband-and-wife serial killing team. More than just your average tits-n-blood exploitationer, this takes time to set up its main characters as intelligent and interesting people who also happen to take a lot of joy in murdering others. Trent Haaga and Brandy Little both turn in fine acting performances. It's not as violent as you'd expect, either -- this is heavier on dialogue than body fluids. Consider this a fulfilling of the promise director/writer Jon Keyes displayed in his debut American Nightmare.
