I was watching Visioni Senz Volto on YouTube and I thought, “Is that Bruce Boxleitner?”

And that’s how I learned that this was an American TV movie and not an Italian giallo.

The man who was Scarecrow and Tron is Detective Kyle Robeshaw, a cop stuck on the missing persons cases, when he discovers that a serial killer who was dating a cop before he killed her. The female police officer was once a friend of his, so he takes her case personally and investigates it on his own. For such a tough cop, he  has no problem partnering with Elizabeth (Laura Johnson), a woman with psychic visions whose best friend is missing.

Directed by Gary Sherman (Dead and Buried, Vice Squad, Poltergeist III) and written by Paul Joseph Gulino, this reminds me that there was once a time when TV movies had killers who spoke to the voice of a doctor they once killed who sends him out to murder people and slice their faces off, then put them in jars with their names on them.

It’s not exactly a perfect movie, but hey, it was a serial killer movie in the 90s before we were sick of the idea. Robert Culp is in it, which sometimes is all I need to watch a movie.

You can watch this on YouTube.
