      Always feel very sad

      In fact, it’s really not that the victim’s last name and first name and the initials of the place where the crime was committed are the same, but the hostess insisted so persistently that I also felt that she was correct.

          In fact, her personality is too strong, and she always feels that things have developed in this way, that's why she is involved in her own whirlpool like this, unable to extricate herself.

          In fact, the murderer likes the heroine. In order to match...

      A movie that makes me so depressed

      The first review in 2009
      actually gave me such a depressing film.
      Look at that name, which is very good and attracts me; the introduction is better, and it attracts me
      . After watching the film,
      I can only be thankful. I'm still a normal person who
      hasn't become a female pig-like neuropathy.
      At first, I thought this movie would fascinate me like "Human Bone Puzzle".
      Finally, after watching the ending,
      I just want to quickly remove this movie from my...

      Choosing to kill for love?

      I don't want to say that my imagination is limited.
      I don't want to say that I am not shocked by the fantasy part of the heroine in the film.
      I also don't want to admit that this is a suspense film.
      After all, I have watched a lot of reasoning films, and the result this time is expected.
      When the murderer who actually killed the child showed his face for the first time, I guessed it was him.

      But I don't know why, this murderer can admit that he is a pedophile so...

      Adapted from a true unsolved case

      Like last year's "Zodiac Killer". This film is also adapted from a real unsolved case. But "Alphabet Killer" does not have any breakthrough compared to the former. If there is a difference, it must be regarded as the purple corpse that keeps appearing in the camera when the heroine has a delusional attack. It's not scary at all, it's just a bit disgusting. Maybe the director wanted to make this film into a shocking, suspenseful, and horror film. However, judging from the results, it was not...

      The truth is left to future generations to answer!

      This is another crime movie adapted from a real case. In New York in the 1970s, a vicious criminal specialized in sexually assaulting and killing children. His criminal clue was to commit crimes through the children’s initials and towns beginning with the same letters. So the police called him the "letter killer."

         Female police officer Megan was appointed to be responsible for the investigation of this case. She paid special attention to this case. In order to find the real...

    Evaluation action

    At first glance, the title of the film-"The Alphabet Killer" might think that this is a thriller with a speculative nature. The letters protruding out of the screen constantly appear, and the suspenseful opening of the film seems to confirm this. But the choreographer did not focus on how to detect serial homicides, but went deep into the inner world of a responsible policewoman with a gloomy story with a spiritual color to show her...
