Luke Sinclair (Chris Sarandon) is a novelist who specializes in serial killer stories; despite his uncanny knack for getting into the heads of these degenerates, he claims he does no research; he simply is good at seeing things from their point of view.
Luke, suffering from a bad case of writer's block, retreats to rural Maine (this film was actually shot in the Canadian province of New Brunswick, which is certainly close enough to Maine geographically). Instantaneously, a series of sex-related murders occur that seem to be patterned after the kills in "Reaper", a previous Sinclair novel.
Sexy state detective Catherine Mary Stewart and local sheriff Vlasta Vrana represent the law in this story that trods on awfully familiar thriller turf. I wouldn't consider it inept - it's made well enough - but it just seems too routine to work overall. The actors are good - veteran character actor Vrana gets a rare featured role here - but their roles are absolutely nothing special. All revelations made here are not exactly earth-shattering; there's an obvious red herring and there's not a single story twist here that no-one could see coming.
Just another paint-by-the-numbers B-grade thriller; it might serve its purpose for less demanding viewers but if you want something original look elsewhere.
5/10
