This is the first movie from Night Light Films that I've seen, and after watching it, I am not looking forward to seeing any more movies from this company. To be sure, while the production was saddled with a really low budget, the production team did manage to squeeze every last penny, enough that the production values are several notches above your typical backyard production. And some of the acting by the no-name cast is competent. But the remaining parts of the movie are simply not that great. The screenplay needed more work - among other stumbles, it takes a long time before we learn the hero got a heart transplant and that his wife was killed. Also, the hero has been written to be not that particularly sympathetic, and we are stuck with him throughout the entire movie. But the main problem with the movie is with the direction. The movie is slow-moving, with very little atmosphere or tension during the endless pursuit of the serial killer. Things do pick up slightly in the last quarter of the movie, but it's too little too late. While the movie is not bad enough to provoke anger or frustration - it's too low key for that - you'll forget all about it within hours after watching it.

Detective Nick Ferguson (a solid and believable performance by Rhett Giles) has a near fatal run-in with vicious serial killer Teddy (a creepy and convincing portrayal by Richard Tyson), who's been terrorizing the city of Los Angeles by murdering young women and removing their organs. After receiving a new heart and recovering in the hospital, Ferguson continues his obsessive search for Teddy. However, Ferguson has now acquired psychic abilities that enable him to have horrific visions of Teddy's victims as they're being tormented and murdered. Director/co-writer Kevin Carraway relates the absorbing story at a steady pace, develops a considerable amount of tension, delivers a fair amount of grisly graphic gore, and tosses in a few neat and surprising twists. Moreover, Ferugon makes for an appealingly flawed and troubled protagonist and his nightmarish visions are genuinely spooky and unsettling. This film further benefits from sound acting by the capable cast: Giles holds everything with his sturdy work as Ferguson, with fine support from Steven Williams as Ferguson's profane and hard-nosed superior Captain Bradley, Miranda Kwok as helpful psychic Kathryn, and John Duerler as diligent forensics expert Dr. Youngblood. Both Henryk Cymerman's slick cinematography and the rattling score by Mel Lewis are up to speed. Worth a watch.

Okay, again, Night Light Films tried to cash in on "Saw" with a serial killer... well that's not completely true. "Saw" mixed in with that one urban legend that's popularly set in South America.So yeah, like Jigsaw he does this "to help people". Thing is organ harvesters, if they rally exist, are in it for the money. It's just not convincing that this killer's motive is to help the people whose money he benefits from.Granted, this is one of those films where you can actually see where it went wrong for the most part, but of course there's other stuff they added in that's supposed to be poetic or symbolic or something and what it in fact ends up being is really annoying.

What first hit me was that this is such a brilliant movie. Then I watched the other 60 minutes and it all faded away.The director of this movie has done a lot of TV stuff and will probably have to stay with that. The cast is a laugh because they are mixing good performance with old TV stars that should have retired or just stayed with TV.The plot is excellent, the effects are really scary. But the long drown out discussions should have been cut out to make a better flow to the movie.The biggest mistake they made in this movie is to concentrate on the lead character's drinking problems and if his boss is gonna believe the star characters visions again, and again and again.This is a pretty good movie that is obviously made fore TV and should stay there.But with just a little more effort it could have been a very good movie.It's good, but its just not making it. How ever its not a waste of time.But it could have been so much more !!!!!
