class brit drama

10/10 Quiet british TV movie about a writer who befriends a young publisher through a novel he's submitted. The unsuspecting publisher becomes hooked on the novel's graphic dictation of how to stalk and murder somebody, becoming himself, a stalker and potential murderer. To his horror the publisher discovers the book isn't a work of fiction but a set of instructions the writer has given him to follow.

Like "You"

The first person narrative of the killer, about His thoughts and motivations to kill, is very much the same as Joe in You. Chilling and fascinating. James Bolam is quite eerie as the old pro serial killer. Not a great film, but worth seeing once.
