john mcginley gives acting masterclass
4 August 2008
Warning: Spoilers
This is probably the best TV suspense/horror movie you'll ever see. John Mcginley who's always struck me as a very underrated but talented character actor plays a chilling cold hearted psychopath with such aplomb it rivalled jack nicholson's performance in the Shining. The 3 hours flew by and you just never knew what Mcginley's character would do next and if/how he would kill his next victim. Some people didn't like the plot holes that enabled Chyna (ably played by Molly Parker) to escape from Edgler's clutches but she was on a determined mission to save the little girl and had the foresight in the end to outwit Edgler. Incidentally, McGinley was also excellent in another Dean Koontz adaptation "sole survivor" as a maniacal FBI agent. For me he's wasted on scrubs and should have more leading man roles.
