Worst Serial-Killer EVER (Spoilers)


To begin, they make a big deal about girls disappearing since the 70s, though Rhino is obviously too young to be responsible for most of them.

So, Rhino doesn't kill them outright but keeps them alive for several days -- not in a shed or cellar, but right out in the open near where he always dumps them. All the cops have to do is bring, I don't know, a DOG, and they've got a living witness.

Then, when he knows that there's a cop who is just looking for an excuse to bust him on something, who does he target? Little Ann, a girl he can easily be tied to -- and one who has another cop taking an extra-special interest in her. Where does he grab her? In the convenience store where her cop protector is waiting out front. (How does he know she'll be there?) How does he know she won't do the obvious -- run screaming out to Brian?

Oh, and he keeps Kirsten's phone to make taunting calls to the cops who are already interested in him. Isn't staying "under the radar" the first chapter in the serial-killer manual?

OK, so now he's got Little Ann, who does he bring along? Her dumb-as-a-post brother, who will be the second person questioned (after Lucy) and who will hold up, I don't know, maybe ten or fifteen SECONDS under police interrogation.

If Rhino's not careful, he's gonna get kicked out of the dumb-criminals' union.

The Little Anne bit made the killers look rather wacky.

The abduction of Little Ann was indeed the silliest part of the film, though the killers were not particularly smart at other times either. Little Ann's brother was obviously some kind of a halfwit and I can't see why Rhino had him as the partner. The brother spilled out what they did to Little Ann so easily that it is difficult to imagine why the killers were not caught long ago. Why did they grab the girl at a convenience store while they had numerous opportunities to find her alone? (For example, just minutes before the abduction scene, the brother was driving with Rhino and Little Ann on board, and the girl angrily got off the vehicle when the two men started to quarrel). And if they abducted Little Ann, then by necessity they had to kill her; so what was the point to tie her up and come back to get her later?
