Lousy acting, poor sound and a weak story. This movie has it all. Who was the audience for this movie? Were we supposed to be upset because some serial killers were being killed? I had a hard time working up any sympathy for them, especially the pedophile they throw off the bridge. I actually agreed more with the "bad guys" in this movie than the "hero". This was a much better movie idea when it was called Star Chamber. At least in that movie there was some doubt about the guilt of one of the suspects. In this movie all of the suspects were guilty and deserved to be punished. It would have been better if there were some grey in this black and white presentation.
"Who is killing the serial killers?" states the quote on the cover of the video box, a quote that promises a twist in the tired serial killer genre. However, the answer becomes quite clear in the first few minutes! Then for about 3/4 of the movie we have to sit though yet again the various cliches that we typically see in this genre, with no real new twist to them - not really badly done, but tired and familiar. Near the end, there is an intriguing development with an alliance of sorts, but unfortunately it's dealt only at face value at most, and is finished with after a few minutes. The production values are pretty decent, and C. Thomas Howell (cast against type) is surprisingly good as the serial killer the bland Muldoon pursues. But overall there's really no real reason to seek it out, especially if you're burned out on serial killer movies like I am. Maybe if it comes on TV when you're bored and have nothing else to do...
Obviously made on the cheap, the plot has endless holes in it, the acting is mediocre, the production values are nil and the total lacks all believability. Especially having the FBI's head flying into the boonies to meet with a beginning agent, and casting as the female lead a woman at least 20 years older than the boy-man hero.
Well, first off, my cousin directed this movie (Jeremy Haft), but I'd like to say that my opinion has nothing to do with my relation to him. I thought that the plot of the movie was great, it kept you on the edge of your seat. Not many people have seen it because I believe it hasn't really been released to anything yet, but I was at the premier. The actors are great and the lines are unforgettable. You'll remember the thrill of this movie forever. :)I know I will.
