Arlene_IrwinSeptember 18, 2025What’s remarkable is how closely the film aligns with the sensibilities of classic noir, carefully charting the evolution of a killer and his inner world from multiple angles. The moment when Henry stops Otis feels like the director is granting the character a flicker of humanity, even allowing him a capacity for love. Yet, his eventual killing of that same woman is rendered as disturbingly casual as his other murders.

The ending lingers, showing humanity utterly abandoned.
