In one the 21-year-old British student is pinned to the ground and struggles helplessly as she is pawed by Guede and Sollecito.
Victim ... Meredith Kercher
Jailed ... the real Amanda Knox
Shock ... John Kercher
"It's awful what these film people have done.
"I'm surprised they have gone so far. I was told the original brief of the film was to take it up to the point of the killing but not actually show the killing.
"It's obvious from these pictures they are showing the killing."
Meredith's Mum Arline said she could not bear to watch the previews of Amanda Knox: Murder On Trial In Italy, to be screened on TV on February 21.
She said: "I really don't want to look. It's shocking." John wants the previews withdrawn from internet sites. He said they are not just offensive, but also legally dangerous.
American Knox and Italian boyfriend Sollecito are in the middle of an appeal against convictions for slashing Meredith's throat at a student house in Perugia, Italy.
John added: "I have asked and would hope the pictures are withdrawn from the internet.
"Not only have they upset me and my family but they are also in extreme danger of being sued by the convicted people's lawyers.

Knox, 20 at the time of the murder, is played in the film by Heroes star Hayden Panettiere.
Panettiere, 21, recently said she did not think it would anger the Kerchers. She added: "The script is really good. I don't think the family will be upset about the way it was put together."

Lifetime declined to comment. Meredith, from Coulsdon, Surrey, was found dead in the house she shared with Knox in November 2007. Police said Knox, Sollecito and drug dealer Guede killed her when she snubbed sexual advances.
