About this movie

From the twisted mind of Jennifer Lynch (HISSS, SURVEILLANCE), the daughter of acclaimed director David Lynch, comes one of the most violent and psychologically disturbing films of the year. When eight-year-old Tim (Eamon Farren of X: NIGHT OF VENGEANCE) and his mother, Sarah (Julia Ormond of TV's MAD MEN, TV's LAW & ORDER: CI), get picked up by a psychopathic cab driver named Bob (Vincent D'Onofrio of FULL METAL JACKET, TV's LAW & ORDER: CI), it ends up being their last ride together. Bob murders the young boy's mother and keeps Tim as his unwilling protégée, making him clean up the mess following each murder he commits. Years later, as a teenager, Tim must choose whether to follow in Bob's serial killer footsteps or break free. Also starring, Jake Weber (DAWN OF THE DEAD), Gina Phillips (JEEPERS CREEPERS), and Evan Bird (TV's THE KILLING).

Ratings and reviews

Very diabolical demented film that sometimes hard to watch but worth it. Jennifer Lynch directed this she's the daughter of the great director David Lynch who's probably my favorite director of all time. She definitely has her father's genes for choosing very dark strange subject matter. & really hits the mark with this film probably her best film to date. Her direction is very deliberate & intense & brings out amazing performances in the actors. Check out another one of her films called Boxing Helena.

It was a good movie. But it was really slow during the middle of the movie. There is just a few things that wasn't explained clearly that I want to know. Who was rabbit's father? Why did he pay the man to kidnap rabbit and his mother? What was the name of rabbit's kidnapper and why did he kidnap and kill all of those girls? But other than that, it was interesting but boring at certain times. If I could know those things, then i would give it a four or a five.

If It wasn't for the reviews on here I wouldn't have watched it! Initially I thought 'Cheesy' but after 2 minutes I was sucked straight into this psychological thriller. It definitely builds up suspense throughout the movie, and the ending is brilliant!
