Redefining Horror as a genre. Amazing study of the genesis of a serial psychotic killer and visioning his internal struggles. It's a film in the tradition of Crime and Punishment with a raw and wide ranging character arc not seen in most horror films. The main character goes from child-like innocence to craze killer and back again creating a surprising plot and suspense that makes the movie a meaty ride. If you like horror that goes beyond the normal flat characters and telegraphed plot structure, this is a movie for you to see.
