A serial killer looking for love can’t resist murdering every girl he meets. But when he agrees to a blind date with a girl who then poisons him he realises he's finally met his match...another serial killer.
SYNOPSIS:
Charlie, a young ad exec still mourning the disappearance of Juliette, his one true love, is desperate to win a second date with a woman. Trouble is, he can’t stop murdering them before the end of the first.
Coming to terms with the fact that he’s a serial killer isn’t easy for Charlie. Not to mention the police detective who knows him only as “The Blind Date” killer is hot on his tail. Charlie attends regular “rage-aholics” meetings in attempt to combat his murderous impulses and it is at one such meeting that his counsellor suggests a romantic gesture as a step toward recovery.
But when yet another date ends in murder, and with the city in fear of “The Blind Date killer”, Charlie gives up on ever finding love again. He even rejects his flirty new neighbour for fear of his own compulsions. But after some dating advice from his friend and colleague, Andy, a man who describes sex with his cousin as the best he’s ever had, Charlie agrees to a blind date with enigmatic Maggie. The date goes brilliantly and by the end of the night Charlie has seemingly lost all desire for bloodshed.
And then she goes and poisons him.
As it turns out, Maggie is also a closeted serial killer, known to the police only as The Grey Window Murderer, who poisons her male victims and photographs their corpses. As Charlie lays dying, he confesses to Maggie that he is the infamous Blind Date killer and, crying tears of joy, she saves his life with the antidote.
Finally, the killing can end, Charlie thinks. Maggie has other ideas though.
Since they’ve each met their perfect match, it makes sense to her that they share everything – toothbrushes, handtowels, and a penchant for murder. Maggie convinces Charlie to kill his arch nemesis, Dennis, for beating him to a recent promotion at work. And for generally being an arse. They extinguish Dennis’ life utilising office equipment and assorted stationery before Maggie unwittingly sets fire to their getaway car and they’re forced to take the bus home – while covered in blood. And thus, a killing spree ensues.
Life is great for Charlie, who takes Dennis’s job, and asks Maggie to move in with him. Together they do all the usual stuff – go shopping for bread, milk, and sharp implements, discuss what shade to redecorate the apartment in now that the walls are stained with blood, and practice dismemberment in the kitchen. Maggie throws out all her photographs of her past victims and she and Charlie even get married.
With the sexy neighbour across the hall becoming increasingly flirtatious with Charlie and warning Maggie to stay away, Maggie suggests “disposing” of her. However, with Maggie’s murderous ways beginning to overwhelm Charlie, he tries to suggest that they pursue a more conventional lifestyle. Or that if they’re going have a threesome, at least have the third party not be a corpse.
When Maggie surprises Charlie on their anniversary by delivering Juliette, his first love, alive and in a box for Charlie to kill as a means of proving his devotion to her, he refuses, and Maggie leaves him.
Now, with Charlie alone, the neighbour comes knocking. But she’s Juliette’s sister, convinced of her murder and out for revenge. But upon finding her sister alive, Charlie is able to convince the neighbour and Juliette not to kill him – he knows what its like to have death on one’s conscience, and wants to spare them the same torment.
Charlie returns to single life, offers his job to Andy, and returns for his last session at rage-aholics before calling the police and confessing to everything. As the police close in to arrest Charlie, Maggie arrives at his apartment, intent on claiming one more victim – Charlie.
