Featured reviews
I enjoyed this thriller movie. Pretty good acting and kept me interested until the end. What more can you ask for!
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.
Years after a notorious serial killer of teenage girls stops, loving son (Charlie Plummer) finds evidence to suggest his father (Dylan McDermott) may have been responsible. Slowly, with the help of new girlfriend (Madisen Beaty) whose mother was killed by the the eponymous villain, the evidence begins to mount up.
Slow-burn thriller that nicely highlights the macabre contradictions between a perfect loving family in gun toting, American bible belt country with a psychopath killer within. McDermott is terrific as the killer who still feels the right to hold his head high because of his god fearing / family loving ways, despite tying up and strangling young girls. This belief by father and ultimately his son leads nicely to a slightly off kilter, but nonetheless persuasive and enjoyable climax which has tended to be criticised by critics as being too action oriented, but which I thought fitted quite nicely.

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

[first lines]
Tyler Burnside: [narrating] The first murder happened before I was born. The killer called himself Clovehitch, after his favorite type of knot. Our town lived in fear, and then, ten years ago, he stopped.
