Viewing Notes

Revisited for mystery month. Haven’t seen since seeing it in theater on release. Still quite an effective crime mystery thriller that was likely influenced by giallo, the film version anyways. Not sure about the book but the general premise is very giallo (abduct young women and torture / murder them bc of some fucked up ideology). The cast is loaded. There’s a part of this I forgot, the Los Angeles stuff, but totally remembered the main antagonist.
