But what freaks her out even more than that is that he seems to know more about her than she'd like him to. Eventually, she goes to investigate a murder scene, thinking it might give her peace of mind, but she pretty much runs into the killer, and only manages to chase him off because her father (Robert Miano) has insisted she carries a gun. But that contact gives her some more (psychic) information about the killer, and she and her (disabled) dad manage to link him to their own past and find out his identity. However when Clementine reports this to the police, the two policemen (Robert Rhine, James MacPherson) investigating the case end up dead. And now Clementine and her father know they're in <i>real</i> danger ...<p> <p>Of course, when it comes to the whole psychic aspect of the story, this movie demands quite a bit of suspension of disbelief - which is totally worth it though, as with the psychic link a given, the film's plot is diligently constructed, makes total sense in itself, and is nicely structured on top of that. And a genre-savvy directorial effort and grounded performances by all involved make this a pretty cool horror trip. <p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2021"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
