It isn't stellar much of the way, but it's at least tolerable, until things finally approach the climax, and Smith's tenuously constructed shocker collapses into
absurd motivations,
nonsensical plot developments, and a plunge into the realm of graphic sickness that will only please horror fans of the splatterhouse variety.
This mishmash of Hitchcock and noir and the true story of a grisly murder is an incoherent mess, both in terms of a
nonsensical plot,
absurd, motiveless characters and a visual style that's a
nonsensical collection of shots from other, better movies.
