I Murder Seriously (2002): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2002, I Murder Seriously is a comedy film directed by Antonio Urrutia, running about 84 minutes.

What it’s about. A cop sets out to find a man who has been delivering too much of a good thing in this offbeat comedy. Police detective Martinez (Jesus Ochoa) has been handed a most unusual case -- a number of local prostitutes have been murdered, and it's up to Martinez to bring in the killer. What makes the case truly unusual, though, is the manner of death; it seems the hookers all died as a result of having orgasms so powerful they were literally fatal. Teaming up with cultural anthropologist Onofre (Daniel Giménez Cacho), Martinez hits the streets looking for clues, and eventually gets some unexpected help from Father Gorkisolo (Santiago Segura), a priest with a unusually deep knowledge of sexual matters. Asesino en Serio was the first feature film from director Antonio Urrutia; noted Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro served as executive producer.

Who’s in it. I Murder Seriously stars Jesús Ochoa as Comandante Martínez, Santiago Segura as Padre Gorkisolo, Ivonne Montero as Yolanda and Gabriela Roel as Gilda, among others.
