What happens

Random Acts of Violence is a 2019 slasher film directed and produced by Jay Baruchel, who wrote the screenplay with Jesse Chabot. An adaptation of the 2010 graphic novel, the film follows a comic book creator (portrayed by Jesse Williams) whose works are used as inspiration for a string of real-life murders. Jordana Brewster and Baruchel also star. The film entered development in 2011 when Baruchel and Chabot were first hired to adapt the screenplay. Attempts to begin production failed several times in subsequent years; principal photography took place between August 2018 and September 2018. Random Acts of Violence debuted at the 2019 Fantastic Fest, and was released theatrically by Telefilm Canada in Canada on July 31, 2020, followed by a release in the United States on August 20 via streaming by Shudder. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who were polarized over the film's message but generally praised the special effects and gore. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
