The Alphabet Killer (2008)




I'm a fan of most serial killer films and having not heard of The Alphabet Killings, I was intrigued. The film was well played out through the first half but I felt it failed more and more as it went on. And the ending was a bit abrupt and strange to me. The acting was the best part as Eliza Dushku was great in this for she played a crazy woman extremely well and Cary Elwes and Timothy Hutton were a great supporting cast. Another thing I liked was the creepiness factor from the film. There were times when I would get chills from certain scenes. And there seems to be a major gripe for some who have seen the film. This is that the factual killings took place in the early 70s and the film blatantly uses recent technology such as cell phones and laptops in the movie, but the film never states that it takes place in the 70s, it's merely based on the killings, it is not a period piece.
