How is it possible to make a movie in 2018, that feels like it's a straight for TV afternoon pot boiler. The story is decent, but the production values are calamitous, it feels so cheap and low cost. The acting is decent, but it's too polished, too glitzy, the women are all smart, with immaculate hair, the men are all handsome and groomed. It has such an artificial feel. The scenes of the killer taunting the Police are embarrassing, the cheap mask, dodgy voice....
This instantly takes me back to a video store in 1997, I've bought a huge bag of Starburst, and this little gem sits unloved on the 2.99 reduced videos stand.
It's a pot boiler to watch if you're bored, just don't expect anything rewarding. 4/10

Watching portions of this felt like I was reading a drugstore paperback published in the 90s.
It felt odd, jarring, weirdly flat and a lot like one of those midweek movies you see when you're sick at home and have nothing better to watch!
Strange. That's all I can say.

Another case of unnecessary rumbling "background music" drowning out the dialogue. Doesn't anyone who makes these things ever watch the finished product?
Thank god for subtitles and rewind. Without them, I would never be able to understand the plot.

I couldn't hear what people were saying because much of the time the voices sounded muffled or overwhelmed with background noise.

The eyes behind the mask were clearly blue at the beginning, and I would've sworn it was the ex-husband. Then when that theory bit the dust, the eyes behind the mask changed. I found that very obvious. Also, the overall acting wasn't very believable. I've seen far better LT movies. Sad, too, because it could have had good potential.
This is a whodunit Lifetime movie with a detective (Melissa Archer) in the starring role out to solve a bunch of serial killer murders. She begins to discover some patterns to all of them and has herself and us wondering who the culprit is. Would have given this more stars except that it speeds up too much at the end. All in all, not a bad thriller but wouldn't recommend it, either

My review is a combination of all the other reviews (horrible noise and horrible background d music). Unbearable to watch and listen to this garbage! Pass this up!

I logged on with only one goal: to warn people of the horrible, way too loud background sounds and what do you know, 2 people had already written about it. I've seen hundreds of movies in my lifetime and this is the most annoying sounding movie I've ever seen. I had to turn it up so loud to hear the dialogue and then the background sounds were ridiculously loud. There was also way too much of it. I think the finished movie must have seemed monotonous to the director so he asked the music/sound people to "punch it up". WAY TOO MUCH background sound. I could barely watch it but I wanted to know who the killer was.

The acting wasn't too bad, if you actually hear what they were saying that might have helped.
I'm not sure who is supposed to watch and listen to the final cut but they must have fallen asleep. The background obnoxious music is so loud and overwhelming that half the time you can't hear a word the actors are saying. And at times the voices are echoing.
I had to actually use closed captioning to know what was going on.
Some of the dialogue seemed too rehearsed and mechanical.
Typical police Captain who yells too much, complicated relationships, ok storyline but again, the entire movie is overpowered by the bad sound mix and is not enjoyable because you need closed captioning to know what's being said.
The actors get into scuffles without even messing up their hair. A little too made up.
