I first saw this more than a decade ago n loved it.
Revisited it recently.
This one is truly one of the best crime drama.
I feel Zodiac, True Detective S1 n the recent The Little Things borrowed few stuff from this movie.
After the discovery of two dead bodies in a small village, a detective n his partner decides to question a mentally handicapped young man because the man used to follow one of the victims around town but their forced confessions n interrogation techniques are questioned when a detective from a city volunteers to assist them.
Apart from being a very engaging movie, this one has sufficient suspense n tons of atmosphere.
Another good aspect is the character development.
This movie amazingly showcases the faulty police interrogation techniques, the lack of securing the crime scene, evidence being improperly collected, non availability of extra police personnel, the non-existent forensic technology n the superstitious beliefs.
The isolated rural landscape where the killings take place is as much a character in the movie.
