Kühles Grab

I had no idea this was a TV movie when I watched it, it was just something I found on Prime and decided to watch because of Carla Gugino and Jay Karnes. Kevin Alejandro being there was a little bonus, though.

The movie itself was alright, but it could have been better with a bigger budget and better production values.

It's a bit of a stock standard Midday Movie detective story about kidnapped, and tortured/murdered, girls with two survivors who look almost identical, not a great deal of darkness to it really - aside from the perp of course - and some pretty solid performances from the main cast.

You could do worse, even if you just watch it for the cast.

Good casting. A crime scene is stumbled upon,,, female corpses have been mummified,,, and the officer in charge has terrible commitment issues,,, what more do ya need? Lol,, plus,,, Carla Gugino is the lead officer,,, so,, there ya go!

Just watch it!

Very poor attempt at a serial killer film. Bodies found in a graveyard, detectives called to investigate. Then 2 hours of grossly overloaded plot. The players in this movie are sub-standard 'B' picture and it really does show. Meant to be taken from a book but the story is so tedious and convoluted, I used the fast forward. As often happens when the film makers have a boring story they seem to think that having sub text romance in the film will somehow improve it: big mistake especially in this movie.

I am being very generous and give:

2/10

This book would have made an amazing movie. Ruining the main character, poor taste. I wont go on because the actors and actresses in this is great but this book was not even comparable. Lisa Gardner deserved wayyy better.

When new events seem connected to old murders, the police force tries to make the connections. Sergeant warren has reviewed what happened years ago at the old state hospital, but is having trouble finding out how that connects to what is happening today. It's okay. We don't actually see a lot of police work... kicking in doors, showing up just in time, when stuff happens. The supervisor appears to be shagging both of her subordinates. Sounds like a conflict of interest, or ethics, or something. When we do find out what's going on, it's purely by chance. Not through work on the part of the detectives.a lot of talk about the relationships between all the officers. Directed by john gray. Has won several film fest awards.
