Weekly Film 10 (Texas Killing Fields)


Texas Killing Fields is a 2011 Crime, Drama and history film directed by Ami Cannan Mann and written by Don Ferrarone. It only made £635,798 thousand in the box office.

"Souder, a homicide detective in a small Texan town, and his partner, transplanted New York City cop Detective Heigh, track a sadistic serial killer dumping his victims' mutilated bodies in a nearby marsh locals call 'The Killing Fields'. Though the swampland crime scenes are outside their jurisdiction, Detective Heigh is unable to turn his back on solving the gruesome murders. Despite his partner's warnings, he sets out to investigate the crimes. Before long, the killer changes the game and begins hunting the detectives, teasing them with possible clues at the crime scenes while always remaining one step ahead. When familiar local girl Anne goes missing, the detectives find themselves racing against time to catch the killer and save the young girl's life."

This film reminded me very much of Seven as it featured two detectives solving a series of murders however in my opinion, I prefer Seven because you were able connect with the characters and got to know the protagonists families more enabling you to feel more sympathy. Although i did enjoy this film i felt the ending wasn't very well put together because it didn't reveal who the murders actually were and one mysterious character being shown throughout; we never found out who he actually was.
