People should have to state their age group when posting comments here. I'm in the 50+ group and loved the slow burning tension of this movie. Most teenagers will post things like ''Boooooooring'' and I understand. No gunfights, no blood and gore, no supernatural mumbo jumbo, no superheroes. Just a glimpse inside the minds of ordinary people living extraordinary events.

Really more of a psychological suspense than a killer-thriller.

Excellent cast, some additional intensity would've been good here and there, but I respect the director's vision of this story.

So many bad movies out there... this is not one of them.

I quite liked this film...the two young leads seem like good actors.good story.only real criticism is the ending.....could have been better

At times extremely effective, deeply disturbing & uncomfortable to watch, The Clovehitch Killer is a relatively satisfying & well made film that's worth a watch - but it's also a classic example of a movie that doesn't know when to end - dragging out the resolution until you're willing the credits to start rolling; every scene feels like it's setting up the conclusion until it's followed by yet another & you're left impatiently waiting for the crescendo, which is tedious, frustrating & disappointing. However, the performances sell the entire film & there's palpable tension between characters in emotionally charged scenes so the conflict is incredibly well done & regardless of its faults, it's still a good film - despite being unnecessarily long & drawn out.

This was a good movie, but not an easy watch. To avoid any spoiler I am just going to point out the fact that this movie puts you deeply in questioning, in a kind of disturbing way. And that's good. It's not your typical serial killer story here, really it's more like " how would you sort out this high level of sickness... because even as a watcher, well you witnessed it and have to live with it !. This is slow paced, just enough to build this uneasy tension. Thumbs up to the camera work, we get some real artistic framing and lightning here. And also, most importantly, let applause the fantastic acting of the father and son characters. You'll find yourself diving in this with them after just a few minutes. A solid 8 for me. Warning : You may need a drink after this.

I started watching figuring I had it all figured out in the first half hour. It seemed painfully predictable. Well, it wasn't. I think most people will find it worth watching. Just be patient.

This was a good movie with excellent acting. Dylan McDermott (unrecognizable in looks, voice and mannerisms) played the complicated role of Don beautifully.

What's sad is that there must be hundreds of such psychos living in America under the guise of normalcy. It turned out to be a brilliant movie, I was skeptical since I don't particularly prefer serial killer films as they often choose to glorify the nurcase as some unique specimen. The pacing doesn't look forced and acting is spot on, especially the young actors. The cinematography is phenomenal and one will have no trouble suspending disbelief.

I enjoyed this film, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone looking for an edge-of-your-seat thriller. I found the acting to be very good, especially Beaty and Plummer.

I enjoyed this thriller movie. Pretty good acting and kept me interested until the end. What more can you ask for!
