Fun for what it was. Wasn't expecting Shakespeare, just some cat and mouse games. Got that with an interesting backdrop of a concert and family dynamics. And, Hayley Mills of all people is in this -- love her!
There's some implausible stuff in there, but if you don't think too much about it and go along for the ride, you'll have a good time.

Hmmm... I wanted to like this more than I did.
It's honestly a mixed bag. I like the exploration of an underground scene in the late 1970s. I like the hunt for a killer. I like the near colorless palette, and I enjoyed the ambiguity of the ending.
However, the music is pedestrian, when it could've been a central part of the whole thing. Also, I understand having different actors play the killer to cause ambiguity, but in 4K it…
This feels like a fan film. The biggest problem with it is the lack of camera movement. It feels like the camera was put on a tripod, the close-up for each actor was filmed, and then they moved on.
Another issue (for me, but probably not for most) is that this story is supposed to be a continuation of the first one albeit 20+ years later. The problem is that the first film was clearly made in California and set…
