Great cast but too nasty-tempered to elevate it from its sordid serial killer roots.

Boasts fine performances by Hunter and Weaver, but it's the inept work of the villains that keeps it from really coming alive.

Chilling serial killer thriller. You will never look at Harry Connick Jr the same way again.
