Tracks of a Killer

About This Movie

Tracks of a Killer (1996) is an interesting blend of drama and thriller that leans heavily into the psychological. The film's atmosphere is tense and claustrophobic, accentuated by the isolation of the retreat where David Hawkner and his wife find themselves. The pacing is quite deliberate at times, allowing the suspense to build gradually, which is something I appreciate in a film like this. The performances are solid, with the killer portrayed in a way that makes him unsettling yet intriguing. Also, the use of practical effects adds a certain rawness to the violence that digital effects just can't replicate. Overall, it's a character-driven piece that digs into themes of paranoia and the fragility of safety.
