Caught it on Amazon Prime and it stinks of low rent made for TV cheese. I'll keep it short, it has a recognizable cast doing phone-in performances and direction that does a very good job of making a film about serial killers anything but titillating, ominous, or entertaining. There should be at least a little fascination of the morbid kind that goes with films like this. Instead it's a bore.
