Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the scene where Don Burnside and his group of scouts is seen in a class room, there are a number of knots drawn on the black board with the clovehitch knot prominently in the middle.
- GoofsThe rifle used by the father & son characters has scope mounts but no scope has been fitted to it. Since the rifle has no front sight it is practically useless for any sort of shooting.
This is an exaggeration. Certainly the rifle could be used to shoot oneself in the head, limbs, digits, etc., as well as other people in the same room, even possibly a target in a shooting gallery. It would be of limited use for distance shooting or hunting, but not totally useless.
- Quotes
[first lines]
Tyler Burnside: [narrating] The first murder happened before I was born. The killer called himself Clovehitch, after his favorite type of knot. Our town lived in fear, and then, ten years ago, he stopped.

Excellent, a lot of people missing the point
It made me laugh when I investigated the reason why this was scored so low, "too slow" and "entirely predictable". They've completely missed the point! This isn't a whodunnit, if you've guessed who the killer is congratulations but this doesn't mean you're some higher intelligence and the filmmakers are inept. It means you don't understand the intentions of the plot and how the director interpreted what could have easily been a mundane straight to vhs slasher. It's a character study not a slasher film and I personally think it was rather good.
The acting was of a perfectly acceptable standard and by that I mean a very good standard, I couldn't fault any performances. Especially outstanding were Dylan McDermott and Charlie Plummer who are both very convincing as the characters they play. I can't say too much because I don't want to add any spoilers but suffice to say if you like something a bit quirky then this is it because the best way to describe this is as a Quirky serial killer thriller.
