Erstwhile grinning light-entertainment host Matthew Kelly gives a surprisingly strong performance as a serial killer in this dour, often unpleasant, psychological thriller. Kelly plays Brian Wicklow, a prissy, studious and manipulative monster who's in prison for the torture and murder of women. Police are also convinced he killed a young girl, the daughter of one of his victims. To date, Wicklow has remained silent on the matter. But out of the blue he asks to speak to officers. Does he want at long last to confess? Jemma Redgrave plays the naive detective sergeant who interviews Wicklow, with John Hannah as her childhood friend Jake, who also happens to be a freed convicted killer who spent time in a cell with Wicklow.
