There's a serial killer roaming the country, brutally killing girls in
a certain age range (basically in their 20s) who have been orphaned or in
foster care and whose name is Sarah. The killer adapts his m.o. to the
situation and the only thing all murders have in common that he leaves the
scene of the crime with "The Wrong Sarah" written in blood next
to the victim. FBI agents Lance (Jason Toler) and Will (Chris Spinelli)
are on his trail but always two steps behind - until they find he'll go to
LA next, and there are two victims on his list, Sarah Hall (Autumn
Lorocque) and Sarah Thomas (Elliott Woods) - so they track the two women
down, but Will only finds Sarah Hall dead, and what's more is hit over the
head by the killer, who has only just finished the job. Sarah Thomas on
the other hand is still alive and well - but doesn't figure she needs any
kind of protection, as her mother's still alive and well, and she only
recently has had a new security system installed, which should make her
home into a fort. It's only after she sees a grotesquely masked man
roaming the premises despite all of her precautions that she figures she
might agent Lance's help after all. And a call to her mother (Lisa London)
sadly confirms to her that she actually is the prime target of the killer
...
A slick little thriller that despite the occasional outbursts
of violence doesn't place its bets on spectacle but rather uses its
comparatively slow pace to properly build things up to the finale and dig
into the two main characters (Sarah Thomas and Lance) rather than
sacrifice everything to action. And grounded and relatable performances by
the two leads really help with this. And even if the ultimate solution of
the mystery part of the story is a bit too by-the-numbers, it's the way
towards it that makes it totally worthwhile, with director Toler's very
fluid direction really helping things along. Oh, and the killer's weird
mask sure deserves special mention, as even though it seems highly
impractical, it's properly creepy.
