Here is the plot description for “Texas Killing Fields”:
Inspired by true events, this tense and haunting thriller follows Detective Souder (Sam Worthington) (a homicide detective in a small Texan town) and partner Detective Heigh (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) (a transplanted New York City cop) as they track a sadistic serial killer who dumps mutilated bodies in a nearby marsh called “The Killing Fields”.
Though the swampland crime scenes are outside their jurisdiction, Detective Heigh is unable to turn his back on solving the gruesome murders. Despite his partner’s warnings, he sets out to investigate the crimes. Before long, the killer changes the game and begins hunting the detectives and teasing them with possible clues at the crime scenes while always remaining one step ahead. When familiar local girl Anne (Chloë Grace Moretz) goes missing, the detectives find themselves racing against time to catch the killer and save the young girl’s life.
Directed by Ami Canaan Mann and produced by Michael Mann and Michael Jaffe, “Texas Killing Fields” also stars Jessica Chastain (“Tree of Life,” “The Help”), Jason Clarke (“Public Enemies,” FOX’s “Chicago Code”) and Stephen Graham (“Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire”).

Serial killers
They do it because they have some mental imbalance. Be it chemical or emotional
Serial killers
I’m not speaking from experiences but once you kill one person you can kill another
serial killers
Serial killers do it to feel in control because their minds are out of control!
Killers
They do it because they are mentally unstable.
Texas Killing Field
They are sick with a warped sense of right and wrong.
Why?
I think they are just crazies with no (normal) moral compass at all. Demented sense of wrong or right. I’m sure there are many reasons why they choose to do it, but i think its just because they can and in their mind it is the right thing for them to do.
SERIAL KILLER
Anyone can become one so out of the blue some things like this happens…
Serial Killers
They do it because they are disturbed individuals who are mentally unstable.
Serial killers
They do it because they’re sociopaths.
I believe
I believe sociopaths/psychopaths are miising certain wiring in their brains that effects their ability to feel, which is why they can neither empathize nor read the feelings of others; as a result, the only feelings they have are really intense. So, they like taking risks, commiting crimes and inducing extreme suffering because it gives them a rush. This rush is likely the only emotional reaction they can have. In addition, it’s as though once they get a rush from one experience, they can’t re-experience that same rush with the same act, so they escalate to ever more risk and ever more cruelty. It’s as though certain areas of their brains become accustomed quickly to adrenaline levels so what once gave them a rush no longer will; I think this is partly why they are so easily bored and constantly seek NEW thrills.
