I don't get the less than glowing and/or outright negative reviews. This movie was a completely unexpected delight, a well done old fashioned murder mystery with a twist and I loved every minute of it - well, almost ever minute...I only gave 9 stars instead of 10 because of the last rather gratuitous five minutes or so, as the movie should have properly ended right where it began.
Yes, it is gory, but what would you expect from a film about a serial killer committing horrific murders? However, nothing depicted here is comparable to the average slasher movie, so there is no gore for gore's sake or prolonged and torturous murder scenes.
I was kept guessing right up to the point when both the inspector and the audience are supposed to realize who the killer is, and that, to me, is the best experience possible when watching a well done murder mystery.
Just stop reading and go and see this film.
