Copycat

Love this film.

Somehow I had mislaid my old dvd copy of this film and needed to buy it again. That said, this is an original film, where Dr Helen Hudson (Sigourney Weaver) is a lecturer on Criminal Psychology who is targeted by a murderer played by Harry Connick Jr (of all people). After this scare and his incarceration, her character has become a recluse, hidden away in her home and still extremely traumatised by her near death. When a new serial killer starts murdering young women, a policewoman M.J Monaghan (Holly Hunter) and her partner (Dermut Mulroney) need the help of Dr Hudson to find this killer. The title Copycat comes from the killer copying crimes of famous serial killers like, Albert De Salvo, The Hillside Stranglers and Ted Bundy. If you managed to miss this film back in the 90's, it's one of Holly Hunter's best films, while Sigourney Weaver had been in many classic/even better movies, such as Aliens, Avatar and Gorillas In The Mist. Will Patton and the late J.E Freeman also pop up in this movie as Monaghan's ex-husband/fellow cop and Lieutenant Quinn. As with a lot of dvd films from the early 90's, the picture is only a bit better than you would get on video, but it's still a must see and you can pick it up quite cheaply on amazon.

I had a dull moment bought this its region 1 wont play on my dvd , why sell these if they are the wrong region ?

Probably my own fault for not checking but it wasn't a UK REGION dvd and is therefore unwatchable.

Did not work on our DVD. Would not deal with them again.

Golden oldie, this is one of my favourite Sigourney weaver films, a classic!

Haven't seen this film in about 15+ years had to order a copy

Este thriller sobre asesinos seriales, es uno de los mejores thrillers de todos los tiempos; realizado en 1995 con un guion lleno de suspenso, mantiene al espectador al borde del asiento, cuenta con las siempre excelentes actuaciones de Sigourney Weaver y Holly Hunter, quienes tienen que atrapar a un imitador que basa sus crímenes en asesinatos cometidos por reconocidos asesinos.Esta cinta ha quedado un poco en el olvido, no se le ha dado el crédito que merece, pero ahora es una buena oportunidad para hacerla parte de la colección.El único detalle negativo de la edición de Blu-ray, es que no cuenta con subtítulos en español latino (aunque si los especifica), al elegirlos muestra subtítulos en ruso; sin embargo, si tiene subtítulos en castellano.Ojalá reediten la edición o corrijan el error.El Blu-ray tiene audio en inglés, y solo tiene audio y subtítulo en castellano, nada en español latino.

Region 1 DVD Made in Mexiko. Nur bedingt abspielbar auf europ. DVD-Playern

Great acting, suspenseful and comical

I was so anxious to receive a DVD copy of this! I have been replacing my old video tapes lately and when I saw Amazon had a copy of one of my all-time favorite thrillers, I just had to order it. The movie is very edge-of-your-seat, white-knuckled suspenseful! Of course, with a cast of Holly Hunter and Sigourney Weaver in it, it is a quality story-line too. It even has Harry Connick, Jr. in one of his first acting roles and he does a great job! I highly recommend this for all you thriller fans!
