This movie "sings to me". I published my first scientific paper based on hawk nesting records kept by a local naturalist and kept in his basement for over 30 years by the time I got to see them. So I know what that feeling of discovery in a dusty storage unit "feels like".
As for the movie itself, there's nothing special about the acting, the locations or anything else to set this one apart...but I thought the premise was good. Matt Craven played a convincing role and Stephen McHattie made for a convincingly scary "Zodiac". The Canadian filiming locations were also convincingly "not Canadian".
For me, this ranks nicely on the spectrum of "serial killer" movies somewhere between Citizen X (1995), Seven (1995), the Silence of the Lambs (1991) and "Zodiac" (2007).
I ofen watch movies and then use the internet to "learn more". This one made me want to "learn a LOT more" about a subject that was only "mildly interesting" to me beforehand. Hence my ranking.
