Great concept turned into mediocre serial killer flick



Why did they ruin this film? This could have been an excellent film, since it had some good actors and an great idea. However they took those elements and proceeded to make a movie about a serial killer. Too bad they felt they had to dumb it down that way. Anyway still worth watching, but could have been so much better.

For who would bear the whips and scorns of Hollywood... (;-p)

I agree. Now I love serial killer films (police detectives, crime thrillers), but it just didn't seem to work here. I'd prefer if this film stuck with the whole soppy drama theme, rather than turning into a serial killer flick.
