Slowly paced but very atmospheric, this is a cross between Dexter, Odd Thomas and Stephen King's It! I thought it was great and no, before you ask, I am not a serial killer. I do know where you live though.

Very dark at times...little weird at the end.. good plot.. a good watch... good cast... great scott!

The plot takes a while to develop into the full sci-fy/horror/thriller that this movie most deffenitly IS! The build up is needed very much, so we can get into John's mind. It was also a hit at the festivals, which usually is a good indicator. A very enjoyable movie to day the least!

I'll be the judge of that.

Putting aside it's flaws, I enjoyed this quite a bit. Not forgetting the great performances from Max Records and Christopher Lloyd. Oddly funny, but unsettling in some scenes.

This film is succinctly different from most others that are about serial killers in the sense that it's using silence and music well. Apart from that, this is a b-movie in several ways: apart from the two main actors, there's not much to use. The plot is quite simple, but at times I - a serial killer fan, so to speak - drifted away because the film didn't entice me more; the flow of the film feels contrived, making me feeling something that's very different to what often comes naturally when seeing works of directors such as Terrence Malick, Woody Allen and Richard Linklater. Also, the name-dropping of serial killers and such is more effect-seeking than anything else, more about trying to spook the viewer than create solid characters. Still, as a low-budget film, it works in creating a kind of solemn street-life atmosphere, the kind that came natural to director John Cassavetes, that very few high-budget films have. All in all this is not a particularly well-made film, but it's memorable.

i didn't expect this to actually be a monster movie

Excellent. We'll acted.
Suprise ending.
Well worth a watch.
Suspense, murder, and horror. Great stuff.

Having read the book, it wasn't what I had in my mind (its classed as a young adult and this was quite mature, dark and atmospheric) it was very slow in parts but had a certain charm and the music was very well done. It's a solid B-Movie at best, and always nice to see something you have read make it's interpretation to the big screen.
