After believing she's seen a murder, a worker at a psychic call center tries to make sense of the visions which soon brings her and a co-worker at the agency she works with onto the trail of a psychotic killer aware of the connection they share and must try to stop him before he kills again.
This was a pretty solid and somewhat enjoyable effort. Among the better features to be had here is the fun setup at play here that attempts to do something original with the idea of the psychic seeing visions of a killer committing murders. As the idea itself isn't the most creative to start with, the idea of her being forced to use her powers to help the killer pull off more crimes to help instills a sense of fear in her. This comes together rather nicely with the setpieces here detailing how she and her friend at the center are trying to use their abilities to help others and getting caught up in the fray about the series of highly-chilling scenes looking into the truth of her visions. That leads rather nicely into the film's highly impressive series of attacks and confrontations with the killer. Managing to spread itself nicely between actual present-day confrontations or the chillingly gruesome flash-visions of the killer attacking her, this comes together incredibly well with some strong scenes here. The opening attack while talking on the phone with the killer, a later scene abducting a victim from a car park or confronting the psychic on the phone are quite impressive and enjoyable, while the visions she gets from the contact they share in their encounters leave this with a lot to like. Along with the great gore in the brutal kills, these here hold this one up while there are some minor issues at play with this one. The main drawback to be had here is the utterly confusing and highly disjointed investigation that takes place here. This one jumps through a series of points that no real investigation would go through, from the police only getting involved at the very end despite all the bodies bearing the same operating method, to the complete jumping to conclusions when trying to bring her visions to others or the just flat-out saying of content that is unknown to her from sources that do which take the place of discovering the material for herself. This is all the better since hardly any of the motivations and purposes for the rampage make sense or make the killer threatening which overall makes this part of the film rather disappointing. That ties into the other detrimental factor with this one which is the rather jarring means through which this one attempts to showcase the psychic visions playing out. These are usually accomplished merely by having the recipient see images of the killer appearing before them and trying to attack which is a fine concept but grows rather disjointed over time as there's little about them that ties into the main narrative. They just appear without warning and are done without the context of them being visions so it comes off rather awkward in execution, leaving the entire investigation here being quite problematic and a big part of what holds this back.
