Preview: The Alphabet Killer (2008)

• Poster: C-

Review:

Sensational poster used to draw in viewers only works when the title doesn't have such a lyrical purpose. If you're going to have a film titled The Alphabet Killer, shouldn't you have something in the poster that seems alphabetical? Or perhaps even something as evidence of the plot of the film?

• Trailer: C+

Review:

An interesting, if overused, plot device does not make up for the horror/thriller elements of the film. This looks to be little more than your common "can they stop a killer before he kills too many" plot instead of being something more careful and considered like the Agatha Christie novel The ABC Murders was.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Release Date:

• November 7, 2008
