About
You’ll likely enjoy this dark, suspenseful mystery if you want a bleak serial-killer hunt built on dread and patient investigation, but Not for you if extreme violence, grim atmosphere, or emotionally challenging endings aren’t your thing—especially compared with Zodiac or The Silence of the Lambs.
Pros: bleak, oppressive thriller; top-tier detective performances; tense, gripping mystery | Cons: extremely disturbing violence; grim and heavy tone; divisive/overrated ending
