This movie was great. The plot is interesting and original, and it has a message. But most importantly, everything has a purpose. The mood is right. There is gore, but just enough to convey the perversion of the killer. The dialogs are not brilliant, neither the detectives, but that makes everything seem more realistic. In addition, the photography is really good; there are a few very good, artsy shots. I feel all the criticism this movie received actually was for not being an exact copy of some other film. If you want senseless gore, go see Saw XIX. If you want a serial killer story, wait for the next episode of Criminal Minds. But if you’d like to see an engaging, well made film, Horsemen is more than fine.
