A criminal psychologist who turned agoraphobic after a murder attempt agrees to help two San Francisco detectives hunt for a copycat serial killer who intends on making her his next victim.
- ZokkiieMay 28, 2026Really solid thriller that somehow feels creepy almost the entire way through without relying on cheap jump scares. The movie has this cold, uneasy atmosphere that never really goes away, and Sigourney Weaver is fantastic in it. You can genuinely feel the paranoia and fear building around her character the longer the movie goes on. The killer is unsettling in a very realistic way too, which honestly makes the movie hit harder than a lot of flashy serial killer thrillers from the same era. It slows down a little in parts, and some of the detective stuff feels very ‘90s, but overall it’s way more tense and memorable than I expected.
