When I saw the preview for this movie I thought, "Oh how boring." But it received wild praise and won Oscars and what not, so I decided just to watch it for myself. Oh, boy. While the acting is well done, the plot left something to be desired. By the end of the movie I was left speechless. Not because it was so good, but not because it was really bad either. It was just a flatline, and while Bill Murray adds some much needed comedic relief, this movie just seemed to be lacking something for me. I understand the message, and once I watched it I finally understood the title of the film, but still...eh...this is just one of those movies where either you'll love it, or hate it. Watch for yourself.

I didn't know what to expect when I began watching this movie. I was immediately intrigued once it began going, however. This is the true story of how Ted Bundy (Cary Elwes) actually helped to find the Green River Killer back in the early 80's in his attempts to get a lighter sentence and avoid the death penalty. Although this movie is not about Ted Bundy it does go into his crimes a little bit and you get to know a little bit more about Bundy's twisted psyche. The performances were great, but the one that stands out is Elwes portrayal of the serial killer Ted Bundy. I didn't know if he could pull it off, but he did an excellent job and was very believable and his performance was chilling. I give this movie a 9/10.

This was one of the most tactful, good old fashioned horror films of my generation. I don't scare easily, so it's hard for me to say this was scary, but I can say it was definitely very eerie and suspenseful. The plot was very well done and mysterious, it kind of leaves you wondering, but not in a "the directors didn't cover it" kind of way. More of a "it's supposed to be like that" kind of way. The acting was great, especially from David Dorfman who played Aidan, Rachel's son. He was an aloof, mysterious young boy whom, I think brought a lot of the eerieness onto the film. I definitely would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good jolt in the night.
