A comic book writer, Todd Walkley (Jesse Williams), and his publisher, Ezra (Jay Baruchel), made their careers on their comic book based on a real-life serial killer called Slasherman. Twenty years after the Slasherman killings, the duo coordinate a press tour to announce the launch of their final issue, and visit the town where the original murders took place. Soon the two notice scary similarities between the character they created and horrific real-life events that begin unfolding once again in the town.

Based on a comic book by the same name, RANDOM ACTS OF VIOLENCE is the second directorial effort from Canadian actor-turned-director Jay Baruchel (GOON: LAST OF THE ENFORCERS). The result is an extremely violent and gruesome slasher that offers commentary on the influence of media violence.
