Review: "Murderers Who Heed the Call of the Wild"
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 7, 2014
This is a very unique, subtle thriller which one may compare a killer's instinct to that of a contagious disease ... or implanting the killer instinct into another, unsuspecting person.  Hollywood at sundown, with the usual hustle and bustle, Norman Putnam sits in Bob's Cafe glancing out the window.  He's an unremarkable man who people barely notice.  Even waitresses seem to overlook him.  Babies can always get unsolicited attention, but never Norman.  Without seeing the blond man approach his table to sit, Norman is taken aback when the man introduces himself as Brian.  Norman relaxes a bit after they start chatting, but before long Brian asks a very potent question: "What's your take on life?"  Then,"What is death?"  Brian seriously states his occupation, "I'm a killer!"  It is his primal urge ... he is Brian Blackdeath!  Brian befriends Norman, tutoring him in the urge which eventually gives Norman more confidence and less kowtowing to fellow workers. The urge within Norman must be cultivated and Brian continues to help the urge expand within Norman. Soon, Norman is getting hungry for the thrill of the kill, but will he be able to actually put people to rest?  This is a very unusual tale, very creepy as narrated mostly by Brian Blackdeath.  This story has very dark overtones, but is very compelling and intriguing.
