It is really hard to believe this movie comes from the same director and star of Wrong Turn. I have to admit that I did not really enjoy Wrong Turn it was intense and well made.
Eliza Dushku is the one who delivers in this fairly predictable serial killer story, reminiscent of such films as "Gothika" and "Jennifer Eight". There are also a lot of serial killer movie alumni populating the lesser roles of this film, like Bill Moseley, Timothy Hutton, Tom Noonan and Cary Elwes.
I would rank this movie as one of the top 10 worst movie I have seen this year.I thought it was a crime type movie according to its name.
Saw the rating of 6/10 on here and decided to give this a try. Bad mistake!
If this story is based on a true story, the only thing this story had in common with the truth was the fact that it all happened in a world not unlike the one we live in.Police planting evidence to incriminate a person they know did not do it and therefore taking a chance to loose face if the murderer strikes again is one of the many, and sadly not the least unlikely, things that makes this movie a bad one.
The Alphabet Killer is based very, very loosely on a real story. But screenwriter Tom Malloy pretty much made this story entirely his own.
With no originality at all and plenty of bad things in its core, "The Alphabet Killer" comes to ruin what could be a good story about the real events surrounding the alphabet killer, a psychopath that kidnapped and killed several girls whose initial letters were the same and he never got caught by the police. Eliza Dushku plays an detective working on the case, trying to discover who this guy is and trying to recover her own sanity after seeing strange hallucinations and visions of the victims while investigating the case.
The story begins with a rape and murder of a a 10 year old kid, a girl has assigned to solve the case, but then she started to hallucinate things and got obsessed in the case. she thought it was because of the initials of the girl that starts with 2 "C"s and the town she was killed that has that same initial so they called it alphabet killer, but after her disease the put it in therapy there she found a guy that had a problem as well and they became friends, she told him the story and he believed it.
I thought this movie was OK until we got to the part where we see Medic #2. I don't know about anyone else, but he should have been Medic #1.
