Anonymous Killers (2020)

ANONYMOUS KILLERS. Four killers and a white ethics professor, Curtis Tiddleman (Kevin Glikman) are kidnapped by a knock-off Jigsaw named Emaramus (Nathanyael Gray). The captives awake to find themselves in electric chairs, restrained by barbed wire. Justice is the name of the game and once everyone relates their secrets to the group, Emaramus is going to make each captive judge who should live and who should die.

As each killer recounts their tale, it becomes clear that Emaramus represents our society- vehemently accusing each killer through a black and white lens; lacking empathy while disregarding the disparate and sinuous paths that led them to this judgment day, and ultimately being righteous and condescending despite his hypocrisies. One captive, not wanting to place judgment, says: “One’s hardships are measured by one’s own experiences”, but Emaramus- our society- does not care. It is the reactions to these hardships that are the only things that matter. Meanwhile, our professor remains silent, adamant that he does not belong there. He does not have the hardships and experiences that the others have. He is just an everyday man trying to mold the minds of the younger generations. Therefore, will anyone vote for him to be killed? Who will he vote for? Will society influence these votes? How much does one’s own hardships and experiences ultimately affect the judgment of individuals charged with the same crime?
