Synopsis

Failed architect, engineer and vicious murderer Jack narrates the details of some of his most elaborately orchestrated crimes, each of them a towering piece of art that defines his life's work as a serial killer for twelve years.

The Fear Score take

This is dread that arrives through the intellect before it reaches the gut. Jack's calm, cultured narration invites you into a moral vacuum, then makes you sit there. The violence is deliberate and unflinching, but the deeper discomfort is complicity — the sense that you are being reasoned with by something that should not reason at all.
