In 1981, 7 year old Alice Walker barely managed to escape the wrath of the Black Rose Killer during a city wide blackout. Now twenty years later, the murders have begun again and Alice fears he has come back for her. She can see him in her dreams and even when she is awake. Those around her believe that she is insane. One week before the anniversary of her parent's murder, Alice desperately searches for the truth before time runs out.
Acting
Good, and it needed to be.
Gore
There are a few blooding stabbings
Sex/Nudity
One women is seen fully nude while seducing a guy, and later topless before dying. The lead actress is seen getting in the bathtub, with all the important bit just barely covered.
Final Thoughts
This is a very story based and slow moving movie, that i couldn't get into at first, but after a while i got into the story and ended up enjoying the movie. It's worth a look, and provides a story that is not overly used in the horror genre. This is the second movie in the Black Rose Killer Trilogy, it follows "The Tenement" and precedes "Sins of the Father"
