The Alley

This movie really held my attention. The acting was first-rate and I got totally caught up in the storyline. The guy playing the killer really underplayed everything and I thought he was also pretty hot. My favorite scene, though, was the inept babysitter who continually talks on the phone, oblivious to the kid she's supposed to be watching getting kidnapped! I laughed so hard with that! I do have to admit that the scene, midway through the movie, where the killer breaks the girl's neck really disturbed me. The scene was shot from the view of the victim, so all you see is the killer's face as he strangles her to death and when her neck finally snaps, the camera cracks with it. It was very effective and its the one scene that I can't get out of my mind. It was almost too violent and intense. Overall, I think this was a well done movie. I hope to see more from this director.
