Everything points to one of the rival chess players. When he lies about his clandestine encounter with the first victim of this chilling series, the police bite.

What a bad serial killer movie. Mainly lacks content; that's the type of movie where you can shit for half an hour without missing a beat. The corpses pile up, Lambert is accused , then not , an obligatory relationship between him and the psychologist and an ending that completely kills the film... An example of how not to do it must, and a low point in Lambert's already unglorious filmography. Guess I'll go grab a pint in town now and wash away my disappointment.

I didn't think it was a bad movie. The movie starts off a bit strange and the music is a bit dated, but I was still captivated by the story.
The plot is not super original, but has a good pace, so that the film does not really have dead moments. The cast isn't bad, but it isn't that special either.
I thought the movie was worth watching. Not exactly a film to watch several times, but it is certainly doable to pick up via TV.

Mediocre film in which a number of women are murdered and the suspicion falls on a chess champion. A fairly standard build-up and the entire finale is rather clichéd. Here and there attractively portrayed (especially the opening with the chess pieces). The characters are also a bit unbelievable. It won't be annoying, but 3.0 stars is just a bit too much.
