When her sister goes missing, a woman and a detective team up to find her and realize she's part of the latest round of victims by a deranged serial killer and race to get her back before he eventually kills her.
This was just an abysmal effort that really has nothing going for it at all. Normally an area right up his alley, he decides to exclude the killer's previous rampage that's only alluded to in the dialogue rather than showcase it visually, meaning it's all crime-scene photos of what happened with him looking on in disgust at them, and the one flashback to a previous victim that could've lifted it out of it's potential to shine is hazy, stutters and just falls flat on it's face. The motive for the killer is so lame it's hard to believe anyone would launch a massive campaign of violence using that as a reason, he's not threatening in the slightest and really does nothing to generate any fear beyond abducting a person, while the one brief torture scene is so fake it comes off as amateurish and totally unconvincing, yet another area where he normally shines bright in here. The fact that it's a cop thriller rather than a slasher clearly shows he's lost his touch and really ought to retire since this one was flat-out terrible with little redeeming factors.
Rated R: Graphic Language, Violence and Brief Nudity.
