Writer/director Andy Koontz is pretty much a one man show with this 3-400 dollar budgeted effort that has regular guy Randy Bowden being targeted by a serial killer who's kidnapped a girl and is leaving menacing messages and notes for our hero begging him to help save a girl he doesn't even know from being murdered.

Unlike Koontz's last effort, Them Damn Zombies, this is a serious effort at a psychological horror/thriller and for the most part it works really well thanks to some moments of pretty menacing tone, a disturbing moment where our killer pours his own blood all over his victim's face, a nice forboding mood to the whole proceedings and a premise that has a nice twist to it (would you save a total stranger?).

Purposely slower paced and shot in shimmery/grainy black & white to give it a "news archives" feel; this is certainly more accomplished than his last film but the acting is still a little shaky at times and the story could have used a bit more of a sense of urgency to it; but apart from that it's a start in the right direction for Koontz.
