      Storyline

      Did you know

      Edit
      • Trivia
        While the film's antagonist is not specifically based on any real life serial killer or cases, he was "inspired by" BTK.
      • Goofs
        The rifle used by the father & son characters has scope mounts but no scope has been fitted to it. Since the rifle has no front sight it is practically useless for any sort of shooting.

        This is an exaggeration. Certainly the rifle could be used to shoot oneself in the head, limbs, digits, etc., as well as other people in the same room, even possibly a target in a shooting gallery. It would be of limited use for distance shooting or hunting, but not totally useless.
      • Quotes

        [first lines]

        Tyler Burnside: [narrating] The first murder happened before I was born. The killer called himself Clovehitch, after his favorite type of knot. Our town lived in fear, and then, ten years ago, he stopped.

      Some surprises
      I started watching figuring I had it all figured out in the first half hour. It seemed painfully predictable. Well, it wasn't. I think most people will find it worth watching. Just be patient.
