Review
"It's a mockumentary, minus the comedy and satire. It's a mockumentary that houses a two-pronged attack of brutally accurate portrayals of torture, murder and dismemberment seamlessly interwoven with expert analysis and the thoughts and memories of those who were affected by the killers rampage, and those who were hunting him down. In fact, it's not too far removed from what the Discovery channel and TLC show on a daily basis... The writing leaps off the screen, as the Dowdle brothers concoct a credible, highly intelligent, innovative killer and sets him loose in the "Anywhere, USA" suburbs of Poughkeepsie, New York." - Alex Seda, Midnight Showing
