Featured reviews
I started watching figuring I had it all figured out in the first half hour. It seemed painfully predictable. Well, it wasn't. I think most people will find it worth watching. Just be patient.
And the rest of the cast. I kinda felt deceived by the storyline & movie poster. I thought this movie would be a nitty gritty thriller movie movie, about a serial killer. What I watched was a movie about 2 teens being detectives. This movie is geared toward teens. Very disappointing. I Did watch the movie till the end and some scenes I felt were a bit ridiculous and I rolled my eyes. Great performance by Dylan McDermott...wasted on this "teen" movie.
I enjoyed this thriller movie. Pretty good acting and kept me interested until the end. What more can you ask for!
People should have to state their age group when posting comments here. I'm in the 50+ group and loved the slow burning tension of this movie. Most teenagers will post things like ''Boooooooring'' and I understand. No gunfights, no blood and gore, no supernatural mumbo jumbo, no superheroes. Just a glimpse inside the minds of ordinary people living extraordinary events.
Really more of a psychological suspense than a killer-thriller.
Excellent cast, some additional intensity would've been good here and there, but I respect the director's vision of this story.
So many bad movies out there... this is not one of them.

At times extremely effective, deeply disturbing & uncomfortable to watch, The Clovehitch Killer is a relatively satisfying & well made film that's worth a watch - but it's also a classic example of a movie that doesn't know when to end - dragging out the resolution until you're willing the credits to start rolling; every scene feels like it's setting up the conclusion until it's followed by yet another & you're left impatiently waiting for the crescendo, which is tedious, frustrating & disappointing.
However, the performances sell the entire film & there's palpable tension between characters in emotionally charged scenes so the conflict is incredibly well done & regardless of its faults, it's still a good film - despite being unnecessarily long & drawn out.

[first lines]
Tyler Burnside: [narrating] The first murder happened before I was born. The killer called himself Clovehitch, after his favorite type of knot. Our town lived in fear, and then, ten years ago, he stopped.
