COPYCAT – Christopher Young
THROWBACK THIRTY
Original Review by Jonathan Broxton
Copycat is a psychological thriller directed by Jon Amiel, starring Sigourney Weaver, Holly Hunter, Dermot Mulroney, and William McNamara. Weaver plays Dr. Helen Hudson, a brilliant criminal psychologist and expert on serial killers who becomes agoraphobic after being attacked by one of her former subjects, Daryll Lee Cullum, played in an extended cameo by jazz singer Harry Connick Jr. Years later, and now living in near-total isolation in her San Francisco apartment, Helen is drawn back into criminal investigation when a new serial killer begins terrorizing the city, and she is asked to consult with the lead detectives, M. J. Monahan (Hunter) and Reuben Goetz (Mulroney). Eventually the trio realizes that the killer appears to be copying famous murderers, mimicking the methods of killers such as the Boston Strangler, Son of Sam, Jeffrey Dahmer, and Ted Bundy. However, things quickly become personal when the killer begins targeting Helen herself, forcing her to confront her trauma and step outside her apartment for the first time in years. Read more…
