Somebody's killing rich married women in their homes - latest in a rich desert community outside Tucson. A married sound expert is prime suspect.
This was very different from what I was expecting. Much less of a slasher and more of a giallo thriller vibe. That usually works against my rating on these because I’m usually hoping for plenty of bloodshed. After the opening kill, we go a full hour before the next casualty….but I was actually completely engrossed. Most of that is because of David Keith’s performance. Thought he was a magnetic lead (and seems like he’s got an excellent singing voice too). He seemed super familiar but I couldn’t place anything that I might have seen him in before. Reminded me a Wyatt Russell though. 
This had a super artsy vibe with some very creative (and extensive) establishing shots at times with interesting music choices. (I loved all of that, except maybe a dozen too many eyeball shots 👀.) 
Can’t say that I 100% followed everything that was going on. The flashbacks mixed in sort of disrupt the narrative and bring in a plot with an Cathy Moriarti’s ex-boyfriend that seems sort of extraneous. Still I kind of loved all of this. Weird story, with glimpse into a time capsule of 80’s luxury. And that final explosion seemed legit, right?  Did they actually set off a massive bomb in an Arizona canyon somewhere?
