My rating: 2 stars out of 4

Jenny Agutter finds a bloody sweater in a garbage can, the owner of which is probably a serial killer on the loose. She gave the sweater to the older man on which she has a crush, who happens to live in her house, but he had since given it to someone else. He drives a van around town shuffling people here and there, and meeting women for secret trysts. Other suspects include her drug dealing brother, a lurid bus conductor and  maybe even her dad. She has frequent hallucinations about her past and fantasies about her crush. It's all rather boring until the final 5 minutes and the killer is revealed. In all fairness, I probably understood only half the dialogue, given the thick British accents and lack of subtitles.
