"Hello. You're rather attractive aren't you? Your complexion's lovely"

Warning: Spoilers
Despite a more than capable cast including Fred Ward, Cathy Moriarty and Tim Thomerson this is a routine movie, the identity of the serial-killer killers (the gimmick of the film) being blatantly obvious from the outset so there was no mystery or tension. The cast is led by Patrick Muldoon as Jason Chandler but he is too lightweight to bring any conviction to his role. The one character I did like strangely enough was C. Thomas Howell as J. B. Gaines, the killer called 'The Silencer'. He was entertaining at least. The whole film should have been about him. The winter setting was well filmed however so visually the look was effective. Shame the other elements of the film were not.

There is a twist near the end where Chandler's previous partner Stephanie Dobson turns out to be one of the serial-killer killers which again was so obvious it was almost laughable.
