The frustrating part, the part that drives you crazy, is that the people you really want to talk to are dead.

There is not a lot that is original here. After all, the Alphabet killer first made his appearance in 1966 in London, and was sought by none other than Hercule Poirot. This is an up to date version, based loosely on a real killer in America, and with currently hot stars.

Rob Schmidt, who directed Wrong Turn, is at the helm, and he brought along Eliza Dushku from that film (also "Tru Calling", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer").

The rest of the cast is very familiar: Cary Elwes (Saw), Oscar winner Timothy Hutton (Ordinary People), Oscar nominee Melissa Leo (Frozen River), and Bill Moseley (Halloween, The Devil's Rejects, Grindhouse).

Dushku is a police Lieutenant who has visions and attempts suicide in pursuit of a killer.

The movie was fairly interesting because of the actors, but it was ultimately just another police procedural with nothing special to set it apart from and episode of the Ghost Whisperer.
