Slow and dull most of the time, and too much Hawke's solo

Rating: 4/10 (8 January 2013)

The start is quite promising as viewers obtain the information about real murders from the past - through snuff films found; rather intriguing matters, but then everything slows down and strange supernatural backgrounds and side-lines appear, including trivial marks of horror movies. I am still perplexed that wind, noises in old houses, psychological stress etc can still be perceived as horror attracting attention and praise. Well, you can use some of those elements from time to time, but not to fill the whole movie with them - and repeatedly. The are constant signs that something would happen - but alas...
Luckily I watched it on DVD, thus I could use forward function. And I did... lots of times. It is not a total flop thanks to Hawke's performance only. And last but not least: virtually, its poster reveals the killer :)
