8/10
A good thriller movie
28 September 2002
The story in short: 4 little girls have been found dead from having the wrong blood type injected into them. All had been gone for days before they were found and had tattoos with occult symbols. One girl has managed to escape but is unable to speak because of her trauma. Drawn into this affair is a hypnotist with a remarkable power to empathize with his patients almost to the point of telepathy. He is reluctantly enlisted to help in the investigation.

This movie was a nice bit of craftsmanship. It's not revolutionary in any way, it is one of what have become a genre of serial killer movies, where the murderer or murderer-chaser has some supernatural powers and where occult references are abundant.

But as such, it is well made, with a story that is more than decent and the only real complaints could be that it sometimes is just a little bit too standard in its execution. A more unexpected twist would have been welcome, or something that breaks the mold, like the police *helping* in the investigation for once.

Well worth the movie ticket cost or at least the rental. You will enjoy it if you like thrillers.
