3D's Need to See

Hello loyal readers.  This week I have a double recommendation for you.  It’s a pair of serial killer films from the mid-1990′s. 

My first film for you this week is the 1995 film “Copycat.”  If you like serial killer films, you’ll like this one, and if you haven’t seen many, this is a good one to get you started.   

The plot of the film involves a serial killer who copycats the murders of famous killers and the traumatized novelist who is brought out of retirement to help catch him.  The nature of the killings means that you get a quick history of some of the most famous serial killers and what their crimes were like. 

But the movie is really notable for the partnership that develops between two strong women, Holly Hunter (as the cop investigating the crimes) and Sigourney Weaver (as the novelist).  Also, the hallmark of a good serial killer flick is the creepiness of the killer, and you will be amazed by the creepiness of both Harry Connick, Jr. (as an imprisoned killer) and William McNamara (as the copycat).
