this thriller will come to theatres around hallowe'en, but i was lucky enough to see an early screening at a local film festival here in calgary

click here for page of trailer links (i recommend Teaser #1)

this indie film is a first-time effort for both the director and the screenwriter (who also co-stars), so there were traces of novice in the movie - mostly in the editing, but some of the dialogue could have used an objective review - but overall the movie was very enjoyable.

cary elwes manages to fit into this dark story without any effort - a feat which has encouraged me to track down and see him portray the Green River killer...

danny glover plays a (gasp!) cop role that could have (and possibly should have) been filled by a no-name

visually, the director is clearly influenced by the david's (fincher & lynch)

the score is handled deftly by NIN's Charlie Clouser

I plan to see this again when it hits theatres and again when it hits dvd, and i can hardly wait to see what these two names come up with in future productions.
