Synopsis

Recruited to assist Montreal police in their desperate search for a serial killer who assumes the identities of his victims, FBI profiler Illeana Scott knows it's only a matter of time before the killer strikes again. Her most promising lead is a museum employee who might be the killer's only eyewitness.

The Fear Score take

A cold, methodical procedural that turns the act of watching into paranoia. The fear here is not the jump but the erosion of certainty — you begin doubting every face on screen, every kindness, every witness. It works on your nerves slowly, a rising unease that lingers because you can never quite trust who you're looking at.
