David Tennant Stars in DES, Premiering Oct. 15

David Tennant stars in a bone-chilling true-crime drama focusing on one of the MOST INFAMOUS serial killers in UK history - Dennis Nilsen.

Watch the trailer below!

Known as the 'kindly killer', Nilsen was a local civil servant who spent five years murdering boys and young men he met on the streets of Soho from 1978 to 1983. He would meet and befriend these men before offering them food or lodgings for the evening back at his North London flat. When he was finally caught on 9 February 1983, Nilsen had murdered a total of fifteen men over a period of five years, making him Britain's most prolific serial killer of the time. Des delves into the mind of one of the most emotionally elusive serial killers the world has ever seen. Can we ever really understand the mind of a psychopathic killer? And, if we try, what price do we pay?
