Horsemen and Dystopian Films have just announced an upcoming psychological thriller, Kill Me I’m Irish, which promises to turn St. Patrick’s Day celebrations into a suspenseful, terrifying nightmare.
The Hunt for a Serial Killer
This heart-pounding film, written and directed by Simon Phillips, is set against the backdrop of New York City’s St. Patrick’s Day festivities. Kill Me I’m Irish follows Detective Michaels (Nick Biskupek), an NYPD detective. Detective Michaels has spent six years tracking a brutal serial killer (Simon Phillips) who targets Irish women. As the killer closes in on his seventh victim (Shayna Burns), Detective Michaels teams up with rookie Officer Rodriguez (Sienna Star) in a desperate bid to stop the killer before he strikes again.
The Cast and Crew
The film stars Nick Biskupek, Sienna Star, Shayna Burns, Sean Irvine, and Douglas Vermeeren. Michael Vassi, Nathan Yee, Zeus Fleming, Damir Kovic, Skylar Nangreaves, and Simon Phillips round out the cast. Douglas Vermeeren, Mark Popejoy, Mark Culbert, and Azed Majeed produce. Damir Kovic, Nicholas Sinnott, Pat Nelson, Kimm Hermann, Alicia Hinson, and Sylvia Burke also produce.
Bringing the Vision to Life
Irish-born Director/Writer/Actor Simon Phillips explained his vision: “‘Kill Me I’m Irish’ takes the familiar serial killer genre and turns it inside out. What starts as a cat-and-mouse thriller becomes a deeper exploration of guilt, faith, and redemption set against the vibrant backdrop of St. Patrick’s Day in New York. This is a film about how tradition can be twisted into something monstrous, and how true justice comes not from revenge, but from the courage to face our demons. We’re using the holiday’s iconic imagery—the green, the celebration, the sense of community—to create something genuinely unsettling while never losing sight of the human story at its core.”
Kill Me I’m Irish opens in theaters on St. Patrick’s Day, 2026. With a ton of talent and a chilling premise, it is a must-see.
