Storyline

A murdered couple is found in a motel room, posed in praying positions with the flesh of their backs opened and strung to the ceiling to give them the appearance of wings. Using hairs collected from the motel pillow, the BAU team discover several medications used to treat brain tumors in the killer's bloodstream. Graham surmises that the killer is transforming his victims into guardian angels to watch over him because he is afraid of dying in his sleep.

It makes you mesmerized

If you are a fan of horror. This is the best horror could get. It is slow but it keeps you on your toes. Every scene is fantastic. Every conversation takes the story to the next level. The lead star cast was fantastic till now but now the focus shifts to the other cast as well. They do a fantastic job especially impressive is Laurence Fishburne. He impresses you so beautifully.
