Making A Killing Making A Killing

Director: Ryan Lee Driscoll

Year: 2003

A maniac is on the loose, viciously murdering young women and hiding their bodies.<br /> <br /> Jake Summers has been having a passionate affair with the beautiful wife of his best friend, Chad. When she is brutally murdered, Jake helps him to claim the life insurance money. But heartless insurer L T Harvey reminds them that the corpse is missing - no body means no proof and no pay-out!<br /> <br /> Fuelled with anger, Jake visits video-maker Vic Travis and the two men concoct a scheme, both brilliant and dangerous. They will stage the next serial murder to create convincing video evidence - the vital proof they need.<br /> <br /> With Jake's ex-girlfriend Sarah agreeing to play the part of the victim, the con is on - or so one would think. Unconvincing performances and bad props are the least of their problems as Sarah soon sets her sights on upping the insurance premium for a bigger pay-out.<br /> <br /> As tempers flair, greed and deception begins to divide the three performers. But there is a fourth player lurking in the shadows and the knife he is holding is all too real. Suddenly the deranged killer is much closer than any of them could have possibly imagined.
