When the quiet and amiable Vann Siegert drifts into town, no one suspects the evil that lies beneath the surface. Despite his easy charm, Vann is merely a reflection of what those he encounters want him to be. Soon, as locals start to disappear, it becomes clear that an eerie subtraction is at work in the sleepy hamlet.

I tell people all the time that Owen Wilson once played a serial killer back in 1999. No one ever believes me. Here you go.
An interesting historical document from the late ’90s post-Pulp Fiction indie crime movie boom and not a whole lot else. Not as good as its trailer, which remains one of the all-time great trailers in history.
The "aww shucks" tone of Owen Wilson's voice is wrong for everything but Eli Cash.
The Owen Wilson movie nobody EVER talks about directed by the guy who wrote both Blade Runner films.
One of the most unusual movies I’ve ever seen in the *serial killer genre.* The tone is David Lynch mixed with Blade Runner.. throw in Owen Wilson playing the most likable/..harmless? serial killer & that’s your movie.
I’m sad Hampton Fratcher stopped directing.
imma be real honest i have no idea what happened during this movie i was simply staring at owen wilson’s face the entire time
That forgotten movie where Owen Wilson, of all people, plays a serial killer…is good? I get why this has completely been lost to history, but it’s a fascinating relic. Wilson plays his killer like so many of his other characters, leaning on his likeable charm, and that’s mostly why the movie works. He’s a drifter who floats into a new town, everyone instantly becomes fond of him, and nobody suspects such a low-energy nice man to be a killer. And the film uses this as a way to comment on the mundanity of evil. There’s literally only one small moment where Wilson reveals (to either the audience or anyone in the film) the darker side of himself, in a moment…
Uneven but intriguing film from the writer of Blade Runner (the only movie he’s directed) has a lot of atmosphere, and a thought-provoking script. The story of a serial killer (played with subtle charm by Owen Wilson) making his way across the Pacific Northwest, leaving bodies in his wake, quietly unfolds with an intensity lurking beneath the surface, barely glimpsed but present nonetheless.
What makes Wilson’s character so fascinating is that he is not violent by nature, instead choosing to poison his victims, and not in a predatory way, but instead with a philosophical method of allowing them to bring death upon themselves if chance permits it. He places it near them but doesn’t…
A weird, slow, toned-down and unstylish serial killer film starring Owen Wilson. This doesn't rely on gore or shock value but rather it's a slow psychological descent into the life of two people, both killers, who couldn't be more different. It's not amazing by any means but it pulled me in and I enjoyed it for what it was.
