For a film I've only heard of once before this was surprisingly good. Sigourney Weaver plays Dr Helen Hudson, an expert in criminal psychology and serial killers. One day after she has given a lecture, she is attacked in the toilets by a former subject of hers and as a result, becomes severely paranoid of setting foot outside of her apartment, to the extent that she finds it difficult to pick up the newspaper from outside her door. When a new series of murders takes place she is drawn into the terrifying world assisting the two main detectives on the case. Holly Hunter is excellent. Weaver is brilliant as the manic and intellectually stimulating Doctor. Great film, but I am very interested in the criminology of serial killers.
