THE ALPHABET KILLER

Cinemavixion Review

Rob Schmidt's "The Alphabet Killer" delves into the chilling true story of the double initial killings that terrorized Rochester, NY. Anchored by a compelling performance from Eliza Dushku as Detective Megan Paige, the film charts her descent into obsession as she investigates a series of murders where victims' names and locations share a grim alphabetical connection. Dushku navigates Paige's unraveling mental state with intensity, supported by a solid cast including Cary Elwes and Timothy Hutton. While the film garnered a modest reception, with an IMDb rating of 5.2 and a 13% on Rotten Tomatoes, its exploration of a real-life mystery and the psychological toll on those who pursue it offers a dark, atmospheric thriller for audiences intrigued by the macabre side of true crime.
