Detroit Free Press Rated: 2/4 May 21, 2005 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 1/5 May 21, 2005 Full Review Dallas Morning News Rated: D+ May 21, 2005 Full Review Joe Lipsett Horror Queers Podcast A silly retread of And Then There Were None only with the most inept crew of budding profilers. Morris is bland and Lee Miller's accent is atrocious, but the deaths are solid. Mindhunters isn't a good movie, but it is a fun movie. Rated: 3/5 Mar 19, 2024 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins There's suspense from the guessing game, though the big reveal is underwhelming and unconvincing; too many contrived things take place for any of this to make much sense. Rated: 4/10 Nov 7, 2020 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The sloppily made suspense thriller was deservedly ripped by most critics and was a financial flop. Rated: C+ Jun 30, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

SA G This movie is so interesting and although Val Kilmer has a small part, he still shines through for his fine acting. Such a great thriller, keeps you guessing 'til the end and it keeps your attention throughout the movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/03/25 Full Review Mariëtte S This is the best suspence movie I have ever watched (and I've watched it atleast five times) It is well written, well acted and I always forget who the killer was in the end. I will keep on watching this movie over and over again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Kathy N I was so into this movie I couldn’t stop watching it. Are they going to come out with a season three because I will be one of the first people to watch it I need more The actor who played Manson was amazing and a couple other others blew my mind Send us more!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/02/25 Full Review Jeannie S I think Groff was so wrong for this part. He played this part with no emotion in his voice and whispered throughout the whole series. His cocky attitude really got to me. And the whispering! Ugh….the series held my attention and was very different. If you can get past the whispering and lack of emotion from Groff you should watch this series. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/17/24 Full Review Cat R I loved this movie.. interesting twists and creepy setting..worth the watch Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review Gregory T A solid crime thriller with a nostalgic ensemble cast that, despite its flaws of a few nearly impossible scenarios, kept me invested until the very end! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
