Synopsis:
I've seen a number of reviews that refer to this movie as a "Silence of the Lambs" rip-off. I disagree. "Copy Cat", while similar in many aspects to "Silence of the Lambs", manages to stand alone. The story line is nothing new...evil serial killer terrorizing young girls, cops teaming up with an expert to track him down before he selects and filets his next victim. You've seen it before, right? Well, maybe not. "Copy Cat" is filled with twists and turns and exceptional acting. The overall mood is dark and foreboding. Helen Hudson (brilliantly played by Sigourney Weaver) is a psychiatrist and expert in the field of serial killers. However, she is not your run of the mill "hero"... in fact, she's a mess. She can't even leave her house since she was terrorized and almost made into Darryl Lee Cullum's final victim. Cullum, now imprisoned, did quite a number on Hudson, turning her into a pill-popping, jittering, agoraphobic shell. Ironically, the protege of Darryl Lee is what actually brings her back from the living dead, as she works with police to track down a copy-cat killer that re-enacts the most horrifying murders history has to offer. Helen Hunt and Dermont Mulroney play the cops working feverishly to catch the copy-cat before he can strike again. Hunt and Weaver play off of each other exceptionally well. Their animosity turns into grudging respect as they realize they need one another to survive this. Yes, this film does have similarities with "Silence of the Lambs" but it also has characteristics that set it apart. This movie is filled with exceptional acting, a good story line, plot twists, realistic (if flawed) heroes and a dark, creepy atmosphere. If you did enjoy "Silence of the Lambs" try "Copy Cat"...same style, differnt movie.
