Clementine (Susan Priver) works at Jade's (Bai Ling) psychic hotline,
and it's only fitting then that she actually has psychic abilities - for
better or worse though, as when one night a "James Smith" calls
in, she senses he's a serial killer, and what's worse, she thinks she can
"see" his murders as or even before they're happening. 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 real danger
... 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.
