Based on the novel Sworn to Silence by Linda Castillo, this movie was a backdoor pilot for further movies that was never picked up by the Lifetime Channel. And oh yeah - that leads me to the newest streaming service that we subscribe to: the Lifetime Movie Club. And you know my opinion on Lifetime: it's all giallo without the boobs and neon blood. This one even has a black gloved killer scene!
Originally airing January 6, 2013, this movie is all about Painters Mill, Ohio - not a real Ohio town as they often discuss things happening in Cincinnati, Youngstown and Dayton, all areas of the state that are far apart at the very least - where there's always been a divide between the townspeople and the Amish.
Katie Burkholder (Neve Campbell) knows all about it. Sixteen years ago, she survived the Slaughterhouse Murders that tore her town apart. As a result, she left her people and became a cop. Now, she's back in town as the chief of police, just in time for a copycat series of murders to begin. Yet Katie has secrets of her own that could destroy both her life and her lost family.
I watched this entire movie with recognizing Pony Boy himself, C. Thomas Howell. What a bad 80's kid I have grown up to be. Noam Jenkins from the Saw movies is in this as a big city cop, too. So is Linda Kash from Waiting for Guffman and Best in Show.
The end of this is pretty solid, with some real tension once the real killer is revealed.
