2.5*/5.0*

A pretty basic serial killer flick that mixes various storylines to make things a bit more exciting. It's not a bad film, but it lacks a real point of view, or at least something more definitive to make it stand out. It's not a terrible directorial debut for Anna Kendrick, but based on this I'm not sure if it's a career worth pursuing.

The performances are decent, the narrative structure adds a bit of mystery and the pacing is nice, it's just that there have been quite a few of these serial killer flicks of late and I couldn't see what this one was supposed to add. Nice filler for those who love this type of thing, but a bit too pedestrian for me.
