Dutches stars in, writes and directs this LDS movie about a perfect Mormon town shattered by the presence of s serial killer.
Whilst this does occasionally get a little preachey the religion aspects are generally kept well in check such that there is an audience for this outside the mid west. In fact the key element here is the added difficulty faced by a community largely cut off from the big bad world and the dilemmas this brings. In the unlikely role of sheriff and bishop, Dutcher is fine and this does actually show some craftsmanship as an enjoyable thriller.
Always nice to see Wilford Brimley who shines in the supporting cast.
Only real bum note is the really lame role of the FBI agent which doesn't really stack up as anywhere near believable.
Good effort though.
