Overview

A young rookie cop and his team discover dismembered female bodies in L.A. similar to the Black Dahlia cold case from 1947. A serial killer seems to be copying the brutal massacre of 1940s Hollywood starlet Betty Short. Ultimately his investigation leads him to a frightening lair of death and torture, all part of a terrifying fantasy that the killer is trying to bring to life.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A low-budget slasher that mines the Black Dahlia case for shock value, leaning heavily into gore and torture as it follows a cop tracking a copycat killer. Grimy and visceral, it prioritizes grotesque imagery over psychological depth.
