Blatant rip-off of the star chamber and not a very good one.I can safely say 'I am definitely not related to the producer', like the previous reviewer, wonder how much his cousin paid him!. Pretty surprising how the likes of Fred Ward and C.Thomas Howell can get involved in something so very predictable and stupid, must have had a spare couple of weeks with nothing else on the table. 3/10

Saw this movie and was dissapointed. The plot was a good idea, but the movie did no justice to the idea behind it. The writing was terrible. The movie was too simplistic, corny, predictable, and boring. No suspense at all. Whoever wrote this movie, obviously didn't read their work when they were done with it. This movie had cheesy lines, and the emotion of the actors looked to contrived, also the "love" scene between the male and female partner was forced. YOU CAN HAVE A MOVIE WITHOUT THE LEAD MALE AND FEMALE "FALLING IN LOVE (OR SHOULD I SAY LUST)"! I'm suprised at the actors in this movie (although not your Hollywood heavyweights, but they do have recognizable names). They must have needed the money pretty badly to participate in this less than "B" movie!

"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...

This was a really good film. However, I seem to remember hearing the musical underscore in another fine film, The Man With a Golden Arm. 1955, starring a young Frank Sinatra. Music by one of the greatest film scorers of all time, Elmer Berstein, and a classic, world famous movie score. Is this allowable? Is the Golden Arm music now in the public domain, and if so, can a contemporary film just "use" the Berstein score? Anyone else pick up on this?

This movie was a fun ride! There were good twists and turns, and at times it was pretty scary. I particulary enjoyed the directing and cinematography as the shots were very cool and the whole mood was dark and menacing - particulary the opening shots and the chase through the woods at night in the snow. This is definitely a movie worth seeing.
