Minus Man (1999)

Editor's Note A placid drifter named Vann (Owen Wilson) inhabits a small town looking for a fresh start on life. His passive demeanor and appearance hides the fact that he's a serial killer. He wanders the country preying on the desperate and lonely. Although, in this particular town, he becomes romantically entangled with a postal worker (Janeane Garofalo) and their relationship may be the one thing that can put an end to his murderous ways, or will it? An offbeat psychological drama from the producers of SLING BLADE and the writer of BLADE RUNNER that presents an eerie look into the mind of a serial killer.
