One man is copying the most notorious killers in history one at a time. Together, two women must stop him from killing again. Or they're next.

Dr. Helen Hudson is a Criminal Profiler and Psychologist. After giving a lecture, she is brutally attacked in the bathroom by a serial killer. Since then, Dr. Hudson has become a reclusive agoraphobic, living anonymously on the internet from her apartment. One day while listening to the radio, she hears about police detectives on the trail of a copycat serial killer. She calls the precinct with information, and becomes entangled in a deadly mind game with the killer.

This is one of my favorite serial killer movies. It often gets overlooked with movies like Silence of the Lambs and Se7en taking all of the glory from the genre. With fantastic acting, a believable storyline and realism on almost every level, this is easily in the same category as the two movies mentioned above.

Sigourney Weaver gives one of her best performances as the agoraphobic doctor. Harry Connick Jr. also shines as the deranged Daryll Lee Cullum. In fact, everyone did such a great job in this movie, some of it is Oscar worthy.

The violence isn't too bad, but there's very little gore. Also, what the movie lacks in blood and gore, it makes up for in suspense...lots of it. So much so, that the movie is almost like a suspenseful roller coaster ride that grabs you and doesn't let go. We also get to see how the copycat killer thinks. That, coupled with the suspense gives this film has an almost Hitchcockian feel.

One thing that makes this movie great is the psychological level that this movie brings you to. The character development is done so well, it makes you care about the characters in a way that most movies don’t do anymore. You don't wonder anything about the characters, you feel the same things they do.

Like most movies today, there is a twist, but this one actually works and you almost don't see it coming.
