CYRUS: MIND OF A SERIAL KILLER (a review)

A cool little flick starring Brain Kruse (Charmed), Danielle Haris (from the Halloween movies) and Lance Henriksen (from Alien).

The story: a tv reporter interviews a man who says he knows about a local serial killer, leading her deeper into the mystery.

Was it good?

Yeah. It was pretty good. The story is solid. It's a nice little twist having the story of the killer told from someone who knows the killer instead of just following the killer himself that gives the movie a good, creepy feel and a very grounded feel too. Second, they got some good actors. Danielle Harris and Brian Kruse, are solid enough...certainly better than most low budget movies get. Then there's Lance Hendriksen who plays the friend of serial killer who tells all about him. Hendriksen is fantastic -- creepy and fascinating, strange and grounded. He makes this little film pop.

Now this still isn't a great film. The story is good but predictable and the ending is fine, but there never is that amazing moment and the film never really does anything to break new ground. Still, it is heaps better than most of the movies out there. Definitely worht watching for horror movie fans.
