The Alphabet Killer (2007)

[WahlbergCasket]

A ten year old girl is found brutally murdered outside the small blue-collar city of Rochester, New York, and obsessed police detective Megan Paige (Eliza Dushku of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and DOLLHOUSE) suffers a mental breakdown while trying to solve the crime. But when the child-killings resume two years later, Megan’s return to the investigation also brings back her own horrific hallucinations. Even if she can prove a ‘double initial’ connection to the slayings, will she hang onto her sanity long enough to catch a psychopath? Cary Elwes (SAW), Michael Ironside (STARSHIP TROOPERS), Bill Moseley (THE DEVIL’S REJECTS), Carl Lumbly (ALIAS) and Academy Award® winner Timothy Hutton co-star in this chilling thriller directed by Rob Schmidt.

What could have become a decent horror-mystery was weighed down by an unoriginal plot and supernatural elements, not to mention a predictable twist. What did everyone else think?

Can't this go in the slasher section?

[WahlbergCasket]

there's no slashing as far I'm concerned.

[bobbygory]

But what is the bodycount, sorry have no seen it, just read a ton on it.

[WahlbergCasket]

off-screen murders for the most part and maybe one chase scene/confrontation with the killer. It's just too much of a suspense movie to even consider a slasher for me.

[bobbygory]

I see, the way you described it seems to fit it as a slasher, but whatever you feel like.

I have no real urge to see this one.

I didn't really like it, and I wouldn't call it a slasher either.
