Absolutely brilliant

I wasn't expecting much from the director of "Boxing Helena," but this was powerful, creepy stuff! I can't remember a film in recent history to get so much inside the mind of a serial killer like this. And almost the whole film is shot inside one small apartment, keeping production costs down to nothing. This is a truly haunting and sad film, that is in the same ranks as "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer."

Where was that small apartment?
The movie I watched took place mostly inside a good sized house.

Yes. Keeping us in that tiny dingy yellow apartment for most the film made it that much more claustrophobic. Very powerful film.

Vincent D. was excellent, as he always is. I always believe whoever he is playing, fully.

I thought this film was done very well, and creepy also. And it was an average home out in the middle of nowhere, without trees, and where no one could hear any screams, not even from Rabbit on the roof if you recall.
