The Alphabet Killer: Critic Reviews

The Alphabet Killer may well make enough money to justify a Part II.

It's too bad there was no way around the story's inherent deficit since this effectively unsettling film, directed by Rob Schmidt, chugs along quite well for a while.

Chega a impressionar que, em meio a tantos elementos desastrosos, a atuacao de Eliza Dushku (que tambem co-produziu o longa) seja inegavelmente a pior coisa do filme.

The Alphabet Killer suffers from the same symptoms as Passengers: both have an unintentionally feeble-minded character who lazily investigates a mystery while the plot itself seems dull and poorly developed.

Although Schmidt and Malloy have devoted meticulous attention to Megan's manhunt, which is engrossing and briskly paced for the better part of 85 minutes, their final act seems less like a canny trick than a copout.

[Eliza Dushku's] commitment to the material is worthier than the cheesy ghost effects of decomposing children that the filmmakers felt the need to add.

...a big problem is the preposterousness of the mystery's solution...
