Brief synopsis of Copycat

A psychopath is copying the crimes of renowned serial killers such as Son of Sam and the Boston Strangler, and the detective on the case turns to a forensic psychologist who specializes in the field. Unfortunately, the doctor has become a paranoid agoraphobic as the result of an earlier assault at the hands of the killer. A violent, bloody thriller.

Critics Reviews

Rating of 4 stars out of 5 Radio Times

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.

Variety

"...An upscale suspense by virtue of its classy cast, its extremely bright characters and the chillingly intellectual approach..."

Entertainment Weekly

"...Exciting, surprising, and a showcase for terrific, subtle performances by Sigourney Weaver and Holly Hunter..." -- Rating: B

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!

Rated - 5 starsGreat film

John from Formby , 23/10/2006

I've seen this movie a few times but unfortunatly had to borrow this one from a friend. The one sent out to me was too worn to use in my player.

Even so! This movie is still a great thriller! Only a month or two will go by before this movie fades from memory and you'll want to watch it again.
