J_Brian *SPOILERS AHEAD... From the very beginning, this movie is riddles with clichés. First (CLICHE #1) we have a girl who walks alone through a dark parking lot late at night even after her friend offers to give her a ride to her car. (CLICHE #2) This girl gets followed home by the killers and is killed. Then has her death pic taken by them.Next (CLICHE #3), we have the cops who don't believe the lead girl, Colleen, who comes to them with the dead parking lot girl photo that was left posted on a bulletin board in the grocery store she works by someone who obviously got in after hours. Instead (CLICHE #4), the cops dismiss it as a hoax by a photographer.So, (CLICHE # 5) Colleen tells her boyfriend "I can take of myself" and decides to go back to work in the dark grocery store - in the middle of the night ALONE because she works the "AM shift" - even though she knows that a possible murderer got in after hours and posted a photo of a mutilated girl on the bulletin board. She thought it was really enough to go to the cops. And why is she working the AM shift alone? DOESN'T ANYONE ELSE WORK AT THIS GROCERY STORE? Oh yeah, because the writer has to try to build suspense and tension by getting the girl alone in the dark somehow (CLICHE #6).When a celebrity photographer and his group show up in town to capitalize on the real killer's photos, the first thing they do is actually take of picture of the killer's vehicle (which, of course, they don't it belongs to the killer) and leave a business card on the window to invite them to a party. Gee, what better way to get the killers to know where your party is. I don't think this is really a cliché, just a stupid coincidence... and coincidentally it is really stupid writing. Really. Stupid. Writing. (CLICHE #7) When the killers leave another pic of a dead girl, this time on Colleen's car, once again, the cops don't really take it that seriously. And then, (CLICHE #8) she decides it's best to go home ALONE rather than accept a police escort!Here's something else that's just totally stupid... During business hours, Colleen's a checkout girl at the grocery store and she actually types in the UPC number of every single grocery item because the scanner is busted. Which could take ALL DAY!!!! AREN'T THERE OTHER CHECK OUT LANES IN THIS GROCERY STORE THAT SHE COULD USE THAT DON'T HAVE BUSTED SCANNERS? For effeciency's sake, a grocery store manager would have never allowed her to use this lane unless it was the only one available, which it isn't.We never really understand why the killers are obsessed with torturing Colleen with these photos or killing her friends.The only reason I gave this thing a 5 is because I really enjoyed the scenes of the killings. Very brutal stuff.

FlashCallahan And to think that this was the last film that Wes Craven had any involvement in before his untimely death just adds to the all around naffness of the finished product.A killer sends a young woman photographs of his victims, which draws the attention of an arrogant celebrity photographer.The shutterbug and his entourage then head to the woman's small town to get closer to the mayhem......The film awkwardly mixes humour with some really ropey horror and dialogue, and after an initially impressive opening which isn't unlike that opening scene in the wonderful 'Scream', it just goes downhill rapidly, despite some potential in a couple of characters.I'm really hoping that Cravens involvement was that of just the masked predators whom appear in windows and behind people, because these really are unnerving scenes, and if the film was focused more on them, rather than Kla Penn and his abhorrent entourage, it could have been something.Penn gets top billing in this, and on the one sheet, his name is above the title, just like Schwarzeneggars was back in the day. I mean really? apart from playing Kumar, and having a non speaking role in that awful Bryan Singer Superman film, what has he done? So apart from a couple of unnerving scenes, it's a failure on every level, it provides us with no tension, no reason for what the protagonists/antagonists are doing, and we are treated to some silly Scooby Doo ending.Don't bother.

djordjejosipovic I'm so disappointed,the killer's charter is very weak and boring.Classic psycho obsessed guy.Little action,and a pale plot with no intention of going somewhere.Everything is already seen and done. Where is the police,media?In over of ten days there is no sign of the investigation.It seems like no one is missing not even one of ten people. Does they parents report them for missing?In a small town of 10.000 people where everybody knows everybody.For me it was just a big waste of time.Left me with nothing but a shorter day.Only thing good about this movie was the music,except that nothing.I don't recommender watching this movie even if it was the only thing on earth to watch.

J. Davis This film drowns in monotony as it ultimately leaves the viewer in a literal state of "can they please just kill these people so this film can end" for an extended amount of time, mostly the last twenty minutes of the film. Losing patience to such a degree means that all feeling for the cast has been lost or in this case never felt to begin with, this is obviously a big problem for a horror film when even the fate of the innocent young lead(Claudia Lee) loses importance. Nick Simon fails to create any atmosphere throughout as well as suspense and tension. There may have been a few small jolts of electricity, but they dissolve almost instantaneously.Despite being well produced, shot and acted with lots of pretty faces and even some nice T&A, this film just doesn't succeed in being what could have been a more engaging horror flick had some serious editing and script adjustment been applied.But in the end I'm still a horror junkie and I have to judge the overall package against it's fellow B horror competitors and there is enough here to possibly warrant some degree of entertainment for those with the same genre affliction, there were some OK kills and to be completely honest the picture the killers leave for the girl in the final seconds was brilliantly done, though a photo cannot undo the overall average plot and mundane feel to this film.
