Revisit the killing spree that had the citizens of New York City locking their doors in fear as the story of the "Son of Sam" killings comes to the screen courtesy of legendary director Ulli Lommel (The Tenderness of Wolves, The Curse of the Zodiac). A murderous gunman is prowling the streets of the city. He claims that he was inspired to kill by a satanic cult. Yet even years after he's apprehended and the killings have ceased, the specter of death continues to loom heavy over the iconic city skyline. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The Polish-born character actor-cum-slasher film director Ulli Lommel helms the 2006 direct-to-video horror picture The Black Dahlia, not to be confused with Brian De Palma's A-budget feature The Black Dahlia from the same year. Whereas the De Palma film dramatizes the infamous 1947 murder of Elizabeth Short and the investigation that ensued, Lommel's picture instead concerns a series of contemporary L.A.-area homicides patterned after the 1947 slaying. It stars Elissa Dowling, Sutton Christopher, and Christian Behm, and tells of a "copycat" serial killer who reads of the 1947 murder and goes on a rampage in modern-day Los Angeles, producing a series of partially mutilated female bodies in dumpsters in emulation of Elizabeth Short's murderer. A rookie cop and his partner happen upon several of the corpses and must track down the psychopath in order to end his menace forever. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
