A true-crime writer finds a cache of 8mm home movies films that suggest the murder he is currently researching is the work of a serial killer whose career dates back to the 1960s.
I have to say that watching this movie at one in the morning is a bad idea, especially when you are alone and your house already makes creaking noises. By that you can guess that this movie has the creep out factor. It also doesn't help that in the movie they say that once you see him he can basically get you. I don't think I will be sleeping any time soon.
The acting was superb in this film by Ethan Hawke. His co-stars did a good job as well. Detective so and so was a little silly to me but I think he was suppose to be. A person meeting a semi-famous author will tend to be a little on the awkward side.
The ending though was a tad bit predictable. From about half way through I could see were it was going to go. A good thing about this movie though is that even though I knew how it was going to end it made me want to sit through the whole thing and experience the whole story.
Now, even though I am regretting it a bit for the whole lack of sleep thing, I will say watching this movie was a good decision. It has been a while sense I got so spooked from a movie that I didn't want to turn the lights off.
If I feel the need to be creeped out I will certainly watch this movie again. There is just something about that one line that makes it all the more scary. Not to mention the very last scene, which I will not give away.
There you have it. Another opinion from an outside perspective.
