| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaChega a impressionar que, em meio a tantos elementos desastrosos, a atuação de Eliza Dushku (que também co-produziu o longa) seja inegavelmente a pior coisa do filme. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinIt's too bad there was no way around the story's inherent deficit since this effectively unsettling film, directed by Rob Schmidt ("Wrong Turn"), chugs along quite well for a while. |
| L.A. WeeklyLuke Y. Thompson"Wrong Turn" director Rob Schmidt ably goes through the motions, though the hook for a sequel at the end is truly annoying. Still, The Alphabet Killer may well make enough money to justify a Part II. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisRelies less on the novelty of its premise than on the positioning of solid actors in minor roles (including Melissa Leo and Martin Donovan as the tortured parents of a murdered child) and the intelligence of its star. |
| San Francisco ExaminerRossiter DrakeAlthough Schmidt and Malloy have devoted meticulous attention to Megan's manhunt, which is engrossing and briskly paced for the better part of 85 minutes, their final act seems less like a canny trick than a copout. |

Two years later Megan is back working as an advisor, but her more or less normal life goes to hell again when another murder is called in.

| User ReviewCristhiän RThis is a powerful movie that deals with the social stigma's of mental illness. Eliza Dushku should have won an oscar for her performance... |
