Horsemen

In Horsemen, a police detective named Aidan Quinn investigates a murder where the victim is suspended by hooks in a position that resembles being on hung on a cross and there is writing on the wall written in the victim's blood. The bloody writing are the words "Come and See". As Quinn is attempting to figure out who the murderer is a second victim shows up with the same modus operandi as the first murder, right down to the writing on the wall. When Quinn realizes there is a serial killer on the loose, he also realizes that the murders are connected to the Biblical account of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse found in the book of Revelation. Each of the first two murders correspond in some way (either by the color of the room, some object found near the body, etc.) to one of the Horsemen. Quinn has to race against time if he is to figure out the motives behind the murders before the serial killer strikes again.

Horsemen is intense, creepy...and yet at the same time it is amazing. I thought it was going to be a stereotypical serial killer flick, but it had a few plot twists that even I did not see coming. Dennis Quaid is one of my favorite actors and he does an excellent job as the detective. Lou Taylor Pucci and Liam James also were great portraying Dennis Quaid's sons. One thing I liked about this film is the fact that even though it is primarily a serial killer type of movie, it still has some important messages. One such message is the importance of family. Aidan Quinn shows how much he cares for his sons throughout the entire movie, even at one point apologizing for some mistakes of his past.

Horsemen is definitely not for young kids. For one thing it's rated R for disturbing images and violence. Some close up shots of the hooks digging into flesh might disgust some viewers. The language might deter some people also. There is a lot of language spread throughout. If you are able to look past these things however, Horsemen is worth checking out.
