In 2003, 70 year old Charlie Sorland is conditionally released from death row for good behavior and societal contributions after serving 50 years for serial murders. With a news story on his release and his dedication to deter others from violence, impressionable Jason Lutra sees the story and takes an unhealthy interest in Charlie which leads to Jason emulating Charlie's past. As new murders begin to occur by way of Charlie's old m.o., Detective Brent Lowe takes notice of the similarities and employs Charlie's help in getting into the mind of his own copycat killer with promises of a full pardon for the catch. —Anonymous

I want to say 3, but it gets 4 for effort
The story has potential. You can tell the crew put a lot of effort into trying to make this the best movie they could. It's shot reasonably well and the editing is decent.
The plot holes and errors really break any immersion you can gain. For example, the killer practically confesses in his preliminary interrogation. And the whole time you cannot even decipher the killer's motivation. He is literally killing because... he can?
The acting is atrocious. You grow to hate antagonist because he is so bad at delivering his lines.
When I consider the writing I at first only had criticisms about the protagonist - the "reformed" serial killer. At first I thought it was just really lazy writing, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that the subtly with which his written shows quite a bit of talent. Serial killers are often known for disguising themselves with charm and being able to manipulate others. This aspect of his character was never explicitly said. It wasn't even hinted at. It's actually a really accurate portrait of a serial killer. No one ever suspected Gacy or Bundy was a murderer until they were being murdered.
For a low budget movie, it does what it set out to do, tell a unique story.
