A serial killer hunts down a woman who witnessed him in the midst of a murder and tracks her down to a building that is locked down during the middle of a power outage.
Ok, so the story does need a bit (or maybe a lot) of work. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that Fall Down Dead does an admirable job of creating this unnerving atmosphere.
