This wry, atmospheric procedural spawned by a real mystery would be thorny enough without also being an adaptation.

The Hughes boys blow it by burying a fine cast ... in stock scares, sappy romance and cliches that really are from hell.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Rotten
The only thrill, if you can call it that, is waiting to see who gets sliced up next.
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture

It has the lush decrepitude of an autumn compost heap or an old Hammer werewolf flick.
