Christina Reviews *True Crime*

          Mary Giordano (Alicia Silverstone) is an amateur sleuth.  When a classmate’s 14 year old sister, Kathleen Donlevy, is murdered by a serial killer, Mary keeps all the newspaper clippings and embarks on an investigation of her own, much to the chagrin of the local detectives. 

          While investigating the case, she meets a cop named Tony Campbell (Kevin Dillon).  At first she believes that Tony is the killer, but then, when she finds out he’s a cop, she rules him out and enlists his help.  They quickly become more than partners.  I won’t say anymore because it would ruin the ending.

        There was something about this movie that was genuinely creepy, and it's not just because young women were getting sliced up left and right.  The music was creepy. And the 14 year old girl is abducted from a carnival.  Carnivals are creepy.  Mary has some weird-a** dreams.  Weird-a** dreams are creepy.  Marla Sokoloff plays Mary's little sister.   Marla Sokoloff is creepy. 

         I would rate this three and a half stars.  It’s a decent thriller.
