Synopsis:

A psychological-thriller in the haunting tradition of films like Taxi Driver and Monster, The Grief Tourist takes us into the chilling labyrinth of a man's dark hobby and his even darker mind. JIM TAHANA doesn't leave much of an impression when he passes you by. But look closer and you'll sense his hunger - the deep hunger of an insatiable American soul - always scanning to devour something - anything that might fill the searing, unexplained void within him. Jim obsesses over the hobby that has been part of his DNA since he was a young boy: grief tourism - the act of traveling with the intent to visit places of tragedy or disaster. Every year his week-long vacations from work are spent going to grief tourist locations in the lives of different serial killers he is fascinated with. This years obsession is Carl Marznap, a mass murder from New Orleans, Louisiana. But this trip is no ordinary vacation as Jim's rancid sexual impulses and weakening grip on reality deteriorate into a violent despair that will ultimately unlock an unspeakable secret festering within him, bringing The Grief Tourist to it's brutal and shocking finale...

Suri Krishnamma's 'Dark Tourist' takes an effectively unpleasant trip down the lost highway of a morbid mind before its bad choices start catching up with it. A brooding night watchman named Jim (Michael Cudlitz of 'Southland') is a fan of grisly true crime, rubbernecking at murder sites after the fact. When he curses people with slurs in his simmering voice-over, we realize he might be a bit aggressive, but the actual depth of his hostility emerges later.
