Today's victim will killed by ....THE SATURDAY KILLER!!!

sourceTwitch
Thailand is famous alot of things Great sunshine, great food, and ehh ladyboys but they are good at mashups of various genres and there's one director who is the master at it and thats Yuthlert Sippapak.
It was the name of this movie intrigued me SATURDAY KILLER and how Sippapak's doing back to back sequels (i:e Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,etc....) matching comedians with beautiful young starlets. Each movie had a slight variation and oddly the movies werent released in order of the days there killer was based on either?!
As i what the actual story is all about, your guess is good as mines, I wonder if this is a funnier version of Smokin' Aces?
Trailer For Saturday Killer  is after the break....
