I think the story has potential but the execution was a bit disappointing. There were so many parts that I had trouble believing were real and seemed part of the “movies” they kept mentioning; how can that many gruesome killings happen in one lifetime, let alone to one person?

I also had trouble following the story in terms of details regarding the other girls’ episodes, the killer’s motives, who is actually a good person or not, etc.
