To Say It Strains Credibility Isn't Going Far Enough

Warning: Spoilers
Franklin Rood is a serial killer - RUDE....GET IT??

That's about the extent of the depth of this POS. John Jarratt is the most annoying serial killer ever. Half retarded and....half retarded. He's a serial killer because someone broke his glasses. Seriously. We know he's a "genius" because he knows Edgar Allen Poe. And he's smart enough to scream "NOT SO SMART NOW, ARE YOU?" after he kills the woman who misquoted The Raven.

Wendy is a gorgeous wallflower, too timid to ask for a raise, but magically becomes a tigress street-smart enough to slip a knife up her sleeve when she feels threatened and calm enough to continue to slip away when threatened.

Adding insult to injury are jazz standards that pound away on the soundtrack.

Most stalker movies you have some kind of kinship with the killer. This guy you just want dead. And not in a good way.
