Some Serial Killer Films fit or may be shoehorned into other categories like Horror or Science Fiction but imho its time for a SKF Thread.
Starting with:
Solace: Anthony Hopkins pays a Psychic (Joe) who used to work with the FBI but who lives a reclusive existence since the death of his daughter. His FBI agent friend (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) along with another agent (Abbie Cornish) visits Joe, asking him to help with a troublesome case. Joe is reluctant and refuses. But his psychic powers are enhanced when he touches/is touched by someone. (Joe, who is a medical doctor, believes his powers are not supernatural; rather he has a "super-duper sense of intuition".) A casual touch by Cornish spurs a vision of her injured.
He changes his mind and agrees to help, maybe because of the vision or because Cornish reminds him of his daughter. But the killer (Colin Farrell) always seems to be a step ahead of them. Hopkins suspects that they may be dealing with another psychic.
Excellent thriller. 8/10.
