Plot

Homicide detective John Hobbes witnesses the execution of serial killer Edgar Reese. Soon after the execution the killings start again, and they are very similar to Reese's style.

Sinekatalog’s take

A moody supernatural thriller in which a cop discovers that evil can pass from body to body. It builds a real sense of paranoia early on and loses some steam later, but the creeping dread stays effective.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
