When a serial killer's work is credited to an innocent man, he sits down with a reporter to set the record straight.
Good horror film gets tangled up on wanting to be arty. For example the camera angles are deliberate, the killer is always shot to left side of the screen, the story he tells is shot with a very deliberate picture quality, the film is constantly talking about ART. It's all nice that the film makers point extra care into the film but the result is we actually end up paying too much attention to the craft and not the film.
It also doesn't help that the film insists on any number of final twists. I'm sorry I'm so tired of twists ending and gotchas because everyone does it and they aren't surprising. Here it would have been better if it hadn't gone twisty.
While not bad, it's not as good as it could have been. Its worth a look for horror fans but most others need not apply.
