    Oh my god Kate you are a bad person, in the best possible way! By that I mean that this wonderfully witty back and forth between this pair of unlikely travellers had me giggling all the way through. It was just an amazing example of domedic timing, coupled with a story that just keeps on giving!

    The price of fame can be high for anyone, but in this delightful parody we see how two serial killers deal with it and the idea of being proud of one's work and yet not ever being able to really own up to it unless you want your kills to end. Funny stuff!

    Cool character names and love the jokes and that HITCHERS spoofs the ubiquity of serial killers in modern culture. The timing is perfect and would leave a festival audience wanting more.
