Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With a lukewarm 6.2 out of 10 from audiences and a box office loss, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who likes to be kept guessing, horror fans and fantasy fans. If you loved Barbarian or Ginger Snaps, start here. Critics rate it higher than audiences do, so it rewards patience more than it chases thrills.
The mood
Scary and gory.
The pace
Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 43 min.
What might put you off
Rated R: expect violence.

A photographer's obsessive pursuit of dark subject matter leads him into the path of a serial killer who stalks late night commuters, ultimately butchering them in the most gruesome ways.
