About the film

Keep your eyes open for anything too ordinary.

What it’s about

Vann Siegert arrives in a small town, amiable and unassuming. Beneath his pleasant surface, he is a serial killer who selects victims from those who complain about their lives, as if they are ready to let go. He takes a room in a local inn and begins to observe the people around him, waiting for the next opportunity.

What hooks you

Hampton Fancher directs Owen Wilson as Vann, with Janeane Garofalo as Ferrin and Sheryl Crow as Casper. The film was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 1999. Its tagline warns, "Don't see it alone. Unless you like talking to yourself."

Who it’s for

It is a good pick for those who appreciate slow-burning psychological thrillers with an unsettling quiet menace. It will appeal to viewers drawn to character studies of charming yet dangerous drifters and the secrets hidden in small towns.
