Had potential
This started off OK, a sort of Slasher film with a twist with the killer forcing victims to choose who to kill or be attacked. With a detective element to it as well. Katheryn Winnick of Vikings stars as a journalism student tracking the killer along with her dad as the local sheriff in a small town.
Just a shame it didn't reach its potential, not a particularly scary film. Seems to be stuck between genres without choosing which direction to go in. The second half of the film unravels without much drama to a rather tame ending. OK if you want a short film to pass the time.

The ultimate choice
A killer is loose, a killer that makes friends, loved ones, colleagues choose between life or death. The only way out is to make the decision else you both die.

DI Helen Grace is a brilliant character, dark and delicious with lots of intricate problems. I like the jump between different timelines and how they come together at the end.

The reader is kept in the dark till quite near the end and then the pace, which us already fast, ramps up another notch. I really couldnt put it down.

I may need to read some more DI Helen Grace books.

Good cast
A mix of Slasher /thriller
Cracking serial killer thriller
Don't trust the critic reviews! This is a very enjoyable thriller, set in an amazing remote location. It has a strong cast and mixes up the thriller / Slasher genre slightly. If you have not seen it yet check it out.

Just seen this has the same director as @I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) which explains the Slasher feel.
