The movie fad of "the serial killer is such a genius that he consistently predicts everyone else's movements and everyone is playing his game" was such a dull one. I never liked gore as a horror gimmick to begin with so sitting through most such movies was a chore for both writing asspulls and spectacle over horror substance.

This game does similar gimmicks and it sucks here too. Civvie has some good commentary at least.
