Rating: 7/10 -- Fans of Dushku will get their money's worth. However, the rest of THE ALPHABET KILLER doesn't spell either good detective work or true spectral horror.

Rating: 1/5 -- Chega a impressionar que, em meio a tantos elementos desastrosos, a atuação de Eliza Dushku (que também co-produziu o longa) seja inegavelmente a pior coisa do filme.

Rating: 2/4 -- Although Schmidt and Malloy have devoted meticulous attention to Megan's manhunt, which is engrossing and briskly paced for the better part of 85 minutes, their final act seems less like a canny trick than a copout.

Rating: 4.5/10 -- The Alphabet Killer suffers from the same symptoms as Passengers: both have an unintentionally feeble-minded character who lazily investigates a mystery while the plot itself seems dull and poorly developed. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- It's too bad there was no way around the story's inherent deficit since this effectively unsettling film, directed by Rob Schmidt, chugs along quite well for a while. Full Review

The Alphabet Killer may well make enough money to justify a Part II. Full Review

...a big problem is the preposterousness of the mystery's solution...

Product Description:

WRONG TURN's Rob Schmidt reunites with actress Eliza Dushku for this horrifying thriller based on a true story. Dushku stars as Megan Paige, a Rochester detective on the disturbing case of the rape and murder of a 10-year-old girl, along with her fiancé, Kenneth (Cary Elwes, SAW). Paige notices the repetition of the letter C (the victim is named Carla Castillo and was killed in the town of Churchville), and she thinks that they may be hunting a serial killer. But that isn't all: visions of the dead girl begin to invade her life, and she is sent to a mental hospital for help. When she returns two years later, she has lost her job and her love, but the appearance of a similar case pushes her back into the investigation. However, this time, she sees both Carla and the second victim everywhere she goes. THE ALPHABET KILLER also stars Timothy Hutton, Bill Mosely, and Michael Ironside, as well as screenwriter/producer Tom Malloy.
