With all of the talk of James Spader coming back to the MCU, let's talk about another return.
Can James Spade make this a Cult Classic?
Weirdly, the Film is set after the first 4 murders (technically the last one happens in the Intro) and on the day of the last one.
He checks on a woman from his past who he saw that day at the Clinic (it's a small world!).
He finds her dead and pursues her killer, but is hung up by a rope.
So, who just woke up in bed?
We change the Narrative to follow his twin brother- who they subtly hinted at earlier- who saw his brother's death in his dream.
He tries to solve the case, but the Cops think that he's the killer...despite him barely qualifying and having no motive.
He starts hanging around with the fellow Doctor who happens to be the only Female Character they haven't killed violently yet.
Don't worry- we see her in lingerie, so that's close enough.
Can Spader #2 save the day?
Will there be a fake out or three?

To find out, stream the Film now.
A good Film, even if it coasts by on atmosphere over substance.
There's little here to make you think of this as an American Giallo. It sure tries to be though. Spader's Character definitely is in the same vein of one that Dario Argento might write.
The Film is mostly about how he works the case with the Police not helping him.
The problem is that there's both no mystery and too much mystery. We 'know' who the killer is early on. Oddly, the guy doesn't know it, but should.
Of course, you know that it won't be that simple. At least it was an excuse to use more Robert Picardo- I'm okay with that.
The Film isn't quite what I expected, but still pretty good.
I guess I'm glad he's back, but I won't think about this one in a month or so.

Spader didn't hear that, right?
A Film that looks and feels really neat. I just wish that there was more there...there. Make sense?
