Based on Guillermo Martinez's award-winning novel, 'The Oxford Murders' is an edgy and intelligent thriller from cult-favorite director, Alex de la Iglesia. The Oxford Murders stars Elijah Wood as Martin, an American grad student who comes to Oxford so that he can study with renowned professor Arthur Seldom (John Hurt). However, Seldom actually turns out to be a bit of a bastard and he belittles Martin in front of a lecture audience.
However, Martin and Seldom find themselves thrown together when they stumble on the murder of Martin's landlady (Anna Massey) and discover that the murderer left a note with mathematical symbols on it, indicating that he will strike again. Naturally, the police dismiss the serial killer theory, so Martin and Seldom team up to try and solve the meaning of the symbols before the killer can strike again.
