This is a movie you need to watch more than once.
It has a very interesting cult-like feeling and a rawness at times that is super real. The acting is uneven at times but in general doesn't really hurt the film's story line. There are also some funny moments between the detectives, the police chef and the profiler.
I liked the fact that the profiler really enjoyed getting into the sicko head of the killer. The use of flash backs can get a bit confusing. You have to remember them to get to the bottom of this complicated story. This is why you may want to watch it more than once. Be aware there is some graphic nudity. Good thing it is in B&W
If you like RAW and feeling like a voyeur in an odd story, you will like this.

Comments about the film have no validity when they are attacking one of the actors for personal beliefs. The comments made about Elizabeth Brinkley are libelous and I hope the site will identify the person to Elizabeth, thereby allowing her to institute a law suit against the individual.
Elizabeth is known for her stance on animal welfare, and she is not an animal rights person. There is a difference!
This site is no place to display one's ignorance and make personal insults instead of giving a critique of the film. Sorry this doesn't, either...but I hope whoever is in charge of this site removes the personal attack against one of the actors in the film.

From the trenches of Central Pennsylvania comes this thriller with action, violence and not a little nudity. All the things that make life worthwhile.
The acting is quite consistent for an independent film. Young director Doug Howard gets the most out of this ensemble cast. Ed Bergtold, Conrad Martin and Kevyn Settle all turn in great performances as Jim, John and Jeppy, never letting on exactly who is inside whose head. The interplay between renegade cop Mike Lazorcik and detective Liz Tapia is fantastic, and Tapia looks to be the breakout star of the group.
The Black and White production adds to the raw and foreboding feel of the entire picture, and the background music by Progressive Dementia is top notch.

The movie was great- I am a big fan of mysteries. And I agree that black and white is usually best (For me at least) when dealing with graphic violence.
But the animal rights twit who wrote a bad review of Elizabeth Brinkley's presence in the film, without mentioning her performance, is typical of the mindset we animal lovers see more and more daily. What does Elizabeth's fight for our right to own pets (PeTA's agenda is to eliminate all animal ownership as soon as possible- read their literature on site) have to do with a great performance in a film? The animal rights drones are ruining every aspect of life for those of us who love our pets and anyone who likes to wear something other than pleather.

This film is shot in black and white, the gritty nature of the content lends well to b/w. I watched it twice and liked it even more the second time, the film draws you in. Very good for low budget first time full length movie. Well written suspense/thriller script, use of shadows and scenery done very well. Musical cues through out the film were well timed and appropriate to mood and settings, but overall the sound needed reworked. Actors facial expressions were captured very well, good use of close ups for personal character reactions. Very good character acting. Unique story and an interesting setting. I can't think of a similar story anywhere, very creative and fresh in this time remakes and sequels.
