Cop goes undercover to catch a killer

When a small town is threatened by a child killer, a lady police officer goes after him by pretending to be his friend. As she becomes more and more emotionally involved with the murderer her psyche begins to take a beating causing her to lose focus on the job of catching the criminal. Not a film of high voltage excitement, but solid police work and a good depiction of the faulty mind of a psychotic loser.

Finally a good TV movie

I must say that I really had no idea that I was going to sit down and watch this movie. I guess it was the fact that I had nothing better to do between class. But, for once a TV movie caught my interest. More importantly Helen Hunt caught my eye. I really wasn't a big fan of hers prior to this film. Sure I liked Twister and As Good As It Gets. But, something about this movie really did it for me. I would now see myself as a huge fan. This movie comes with high marks from...me. Give it a chance, it won't let you down.

One of the best TV movies I've ever seen.

More TV movies ought to be made like this one. I saw it way back in '93 when it was first on TV. Helen Hunt and Steven Weber were both terrific, giving very gritty and realistic performances. Weber was especially good, turning in an exceptionally creepy and understated performance as the child molester/killer. This film really increased my respect for Hunt as an actress. The director also directed "Hoosiers," which was somehow both formulaic and exciting. But the direction in both of these works has the same stark, simple realism that is so appealing. If you like TV movies that aren't predictable and filled with overacting, see it if you can. The side story about Hunt and Fahey's affair is also appealing without detracting from the main story.

"He Had Baby Blue Eyes!"...

Gina Pulasky (Helen Hunt) is a rookie cop in a small town who goes undercover to help catch a suspected child murderer (Stephen Webber).

IN THE COMPANY OF DARKNESS is a superior made-for-TV thriller. There's plenty of suspense, in spite of the fact that the killer's identity is obvious from the beginning. Ms. Hunt is exceptional in her role, taking Officer Pulasky in some unexpected directions. Webber is quietly frightening, playing Kyle Timler as a more unemotional psychopath, rather than the typical bug-eyed maniac. Jeff Fahey gets to play a good guy for a change, and comes across as genuine as Gina's love interest.

This movie is well worth watching all the way through. The finale is especially rewarding...
