ข้อมูลหนัง
Ten year-old Carla Castillo is found raped and murdered in Churchville NY a suburb outside of Rochester and Det. Megan Paige (Eliza Dushku) thinks it’s the work of a serial killer. The investigation goes nowhere fast and her obsession to find the killer soon leads to a nervous breakdown complete with hallucinations that may (or may not) include silent visits from the deadgirl. Paige’s behavior not only gets her taken off the case but she also loses her relationship with fellow detective Kenneth Shine (Cary Elwes). Two years later after being diagnosed and treated for schizophrenia she rejoins the police department as a records clerk. Soon two more dead girls turn up and like the first they both have double initials that match the first letter of the town where their bodies are found. Paige finds herself back on the case but as her obsession returns so do the hallucinations involuntary muscle contortions visions of dead girls red herrings poor acting crazy leaps of logic inconsistencies implausible actions…
And that’s really too bad because I’m a fan of the Dushku. She was the best thing to come out of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t watch Tru Calling for a weekly fix of the girl. Her movie career has more lows than highs but one of her best was 2003′s Wrong Turn. It didn’t break any new ground in the world of cannibalistic thrillers but director Rob Schmidt crafted an effective and gory horror film and Dushku excelled at playing the spunky heroine. The two join forces again for The Alphabet Killer but their latest collaboration offers little more than 100 minutes of bland serial killer/J-horror mash-up (adding nothing to either genre in the process).
The opening tries to hook you early by claiming to be “Based on a true story” but the facts (and the film itself) discredit that notion almost immediately. As Paige looks down at the first dead girl’s body the child’s eyes open to reveal pitch black. Of course only she sees it and we come to realize it’s either because she’s mentally unstable or she’s in touch with the dead who’ve chosen her to avenge their suffering. I vote for the fucking nuts diagnosis myself as these visions tell her nothing that isn’t already obvious or couldn’t be discovered with some solid police work. The real Alphabet Killer did murder three girls in Rochester in the early seventies but he was never caught. (One interesting theory posits that Kenneth Bianchi committed the crimes but then left for Los Angeles to become one half of The Hillside Stranglers.)
