If you are into mystery and cops hunting down serial killers with a ton of suspense, then “Those Who Kill” is definitely for you.

Catherine Jensen is a recently promoted homicide detective. She is intelligent, decisive, strong and fearless. No one knows that Catherine is haunted by her brother’s disappearance years ago.   She believes that her stepfather might have had something to do with it.   Thomas Schaeffer is a forensic psychologist, and like Catherine, is obsessed with the motive behind serial killers and tracks them down along with her.

“Those Who Kill” originally premiered on A&E on March 3rd, 2014, and was cancelled right after the second episode due to low ratings. I see no reason why it should not have been. The show was aired on A&E American Cable Television Network, and to be honest, I don`t have this tv channel.   I watch “Those Who Kill” only On Demand. But, here is the question- how many people are actually sitting in front of their televisions watching this show while other popular shows like “The Blacklist” and “24 – Live Another Day” are airing at the same time? For example, if “Who Those Kill” and “The Blacklist” were to air at the same time, I would definitely pick “The Blacklist” and skip “Those Who Kill”.  I started watching James Spader`s show last year, and I would rather watch a new episode of “The Blacklist” than a new series of a show I might not like at all.

I was quite surprised to hear that after the second episode “Those Who kill” was taken off the air. I was also surprised to hear that this show was given a second chance and re-launched on its  sister network, the LifeTime Movie Network, on March 30. This was the reason I started watching “Those Who Kill”. If a new tv series is cancelled and re-launched on a different network, it usually means that the show has potential.   I am happy that Lifetime Movie Network was much smarter than A&E and gave this extremely suspenseful show another chance.

We have a bunch of tv shows about serial killers, and one of them is “Following” which I stopped watching altogether. There are many shows, such as these, that are not really worth watching. Unexpectedly, “Those Who Kill” caught my attention. After reading the description of the show, I thought that this was going to be another crime drama series that was not particularly gripping or interesting. After watching three episodes, I have to admit, the acting, writing, and atmosphere of “Those Who Kill” is incredible and surely deserves our attention. Chloë Sevigny, as a homicide detective with a troubled past, is great. Her character is determined, intelligent, and has a specific way of investigating the crime scene. Her vision of seeing the crime scene is absolutely extraordinary, and with the help of doctor Thomas Schaeffer (James D`Arcy) their investigations not only go faster, but are more interesting and keep us on the edge of our seats wondering what`s going to happen next.

If you are into mystery and cops hunting down serial killers with a ton of suspense, then “Those Who Kill” is definitely for you. I have very high hopes for this show and that is the reason I`ll keep watching it.  I want to contribute as much as possible in keeping this show on the air.

MOVIE INFO

In Crest Point, people go about their day-to-day lives with no sense of urgency and standard stereotypes abound. There's the high school bully with the popular girlfriend. The single mother raising her son after her husband has died. The detective who's never cracked a big case. Then there's STAN (Brad Dourif), a single 59 year old recluse who contributes to society by offering cremation services from the basement of his funeral home. JAROD LEARY (Jeremy Sumpter), a bullied and fatherless 17-year-old high school outcast doesn't even try to fit in with his high school peers. Dressed in black, with his hair and fingernails matching his wardrobe, Jarod draws attention to himself but not in a good way. He's constantly picked on by resident jock DAVID VALENTINE (Blake Hood) and doesn't seem to have much luck with the ladies either. Many decide he's a freak including cool girls LINDSEY WEAVER (Kate Maher) and Courtney Taylor (Madison Eginton), and although Courtney doesn't mind him, Lindsey has other plans. In addition to troubles at school, home life for Jarod isn't much better. Living out of a trailer, Jarod has to put up with nagging from his mother, MARTHA LEARY (Debbon Ayer), and her budding romance with self-righteous immigration attorney RICK WATERS (Sam Ingraffia). Sick of the badgering, Jarod finds after-school work as an apprentice at Stan's cremation house. The two quickly develop a quirky working relationship and soon Jarod starts to see Stan as a father figure. Not long after Jarod begins working at the cremation house people start to go missing, including Lindsey Weaver. Her parents BILL (Daniel Baldwin) and BECKY WEAVER (Staci Keanan) tell suburban detective MATT FAIRCHILD (Scott Elrod) about their recent family visit to a cremation house, and all trails lead to Stan. Rick begins to apply pressure on Jarod to accept him as Martha's boyfriend just as Jarod gets acclimated to life at the cremation home. When Jarod rejects a summer trip to Alabama witnessing Rick shows his ugly side. Detective Fairchild, meanwhile, steps up his investigation as more bodies amass. It's then that Stan must decide if protecting his newfound trainee is worth killing for. -- (C) Official Site

Battledogs

IMDb
A werewolf virus is unleashed upon New York and in the meantime Major Hoffman looks for a cure while Lt. General Monning wants to establish a new canine army.


CinemaCrazed
“Battledogs,”is a film that demonstrates the fine art of retooling a movie and having a good time doing it. In this instance, Writer Phillip Van Dyke retreads 2008’s “The Incredible Hulk” but tailors it more for werewolves. Every plot device and moment in the film is shamelessly derived from the 2008 action film. Hell, there’s even a moment where one of the infected humans is kicked out of a helicopter in mid-air and sent crashing in to the Earth as it transforms in to the rabid werewolf. Like the aforementioned film there’s a genetic infection that can be spawned when its host becomes stressed or angry, there’s a clandestine government who wants to use the infection as a means of manufacturing it as a ware weapon, while a single human believes the infected individuals should be treated like humans despite their abilities to wreak havoc when enraged. Instead of a young woman, Craig Scheffer plays up the role of Betty Ross as Brian Hoffman, a CDC expert who garners a military background but still holds pity for the monsters. A now fully grown Ariana Richards (Jurassic Park) is a female Bruce Banner named instead Donna Voorhees. After returning from Canada with a bitten arm from a mysterious wolf, Donna transforms in to a werewolf in the middle of an airport and massacres an entire group of hapless travelers. Those who don’t die from the attacks are infected and become werewolves when they’re enraged, stressed, or emotional. Voorhees feels she can control it and wants to be thought of as human, but the evil government won’t allow it. Dennis Haysbert plays up the Thunderbolt Ross role as Lt. General Christopher Monning, a scowling soldier who considers the infected void of any rights and wants to use them as weapons and soldiers in the battlefield by command of the government. The derivations continue as Hoffman tries to reach Voorhees and help her control her anger in hopes of gaining control of her transformations, while villainous Monning rubs his hands together and insists on capturing Voorhees and using her blood to synthesize a formula that will give American troops some sort of advantage on the field involving the positive traits of lycanthropy. The similarities are remarkable and I’m assuming not at all coincidental. There’s even a moment where Monning purposely pisses off Voorhees allowing her to transform and she’s brought back to human form thanks to the utter kindness of Hoffman. And of course, like Abomination, the werewolves are what happens when you use the infection for nefarious purposes. True, I mock and patronize, but “Battledogs” could be so much worse. With a more unique spin on the premise, the concept is ripe with entertainment value as a raucous time killer. The special effects are tolerable for most part, opting for the four legged werewolf variety, while director Alexander Yellen assembles a really good cast of actors. From Richards, Scheffer, and Haysbert, there’s also a cameo from Bill Duke (easiest role in the film), a small role from Ernie Hudson as captain deus ex machina, and Wes Studi as Monning’s subservient sidekick. The lovely Kate Vernon is also memorable as the noble doctor Gordon who is torn between hating and empathizing for the werewolf hordes. Surely it’s a B grade science fiction horror hybrid so there are moments of inherent silliness including human rights protestors at what is supposed to be a top secret facility for the werewolves, and soldiers battling the massive werewolves with small dart guns rather than high tech trapping weapons that could bring them down with ease. In either case, Ariana Richards does a great job as Voorhees giving her character a heart. It’s tough to hate anything Richards is in, and she tends to rise above the camp. Scheffer also does a respectable job as the humanitarian Hoffman who struggles to bring this rapidly chaotic situation to a peaceful resolve, knowing it will likely end horribly for everyone. The main caveat of “Battle Dogs” is the ending is so abrupt and ultimately unsatisfying. Granted, “It’s been a hell of a day” is a nice hero one-liner for Scheffer, but when all is said and done, aren’t he and the doctor fugitives from the American government or something? Oh screw it, I just want to see more of Ariana Richards. In spite of being a shameless re-working of “The Incredible Hulk,” Director Yellen takes a creative premise and turns it in to an entertaining B movie with a very good cast of genre notables. With more re-tooling, a better studio, and a bigger budget this could be a hell of a great movie.
