I love serial killers and their stories, but rarely do we get to see their story. They try to tell the story from some one else's perspective or either they try to turn it into a damn horror movie. I love Horror, but real people and real drama is not make belief and shouldn't be written or filmed as such.
Ramirez was a real life night stalker who killed several people mostly women. His story is infamous, but this story is about a woman detective that was on the case. It was all about her and the only time you really see Ramirez is when he's tripping and being haunted by a demon symbolic of Satan, which was supposedly his muse.
Chris Fisher wrote and directed and was HORRIBLE. I hated that crazy fast, shaky direction style he used to incorporate the drug trips. Whenever he wasn't trying to be creative and failing miserably he was doing a closeup that made it take away from the feeling of what the character needed to show. Close-ups are usually bad, and directors just cant seem to learn that.
Bret Roberts played Ramirez and he didn't look like him, or act like him and did nothing for me. Roselyn Sanchez did a great job as Martinez and the movie revolved around her so I guess thats all that matters. It was a true delight having Danny Trejo involved, he is one of my favorite actors. Most of the actors were pretty good I must admit, they held it together and were pleasant.
The story was based on facts, but it was just not done well at all...failure 2 out of 10 stars and thats for the acting
