| Overview: | "Hurt" is a profoundly disquieting take on the serial killer them in a style evocative of "Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer". "Hurt" focuses on Michael and his two friends, Bernie and Joe, who get young women to make pornographic films for them and then kill them on camera.
From this point the trio become intoxicated not only by the sense of power, of deciding who lives and who dies, but also by their sense of artistry as filmmakers. They begin to view their "work" as having artistic validity and like all artists then want recognition for their work. Michael makes contact with an ambitious TV reporter and gives him the tapes of their victims, and as the death scenes play Michael's interview overlays the harrowing imagery so the viewer is drawn deeper into the motivation and mindset of the serial killer who kills "because I can".
