    In this inventive, stylish and gripping thriller, tough detective Holly Hunter teams up with agoraphobic criminal psychologist Sigourney Weaver to hunt down a serial killer who duplicates the crimes of his most notorious predecessors. Thanks to the unbearable suspense created by director Jon Amiel's imaginative direction — the bathroom-set climax is a crackerjack shocker — the super-smart script and the confident performances of the two stellar leads, this mimic murder mystery is one of the best crafted chillers in the Se7en tradition.

    Don't Watch It With The Light Out

    Have only just watched this film and it may be ten years old but enough to tie my stomach, legs and hands in knots - not able to stop watching even though I wanted to - I recommend it and loved it!
