A professional hitman ponders another line of business but soon finds that there's a high price to pay for leaving behind a life of crime in director Max Makowski's skillfully layered crime drama. An anonymous killer in a land where anonymity was thought to be a thing of the past, "T" is given his target by means of a red envelope deposited into an unmarked mailbox. The gangster code has been betrayed, and now a man must pay for that betrayal with his life. The man who is to carry out this killing is a lonely soul with no family, and not a friend to speak of. But a life of killing has taken its toll on the mysterious "T," and after one last mission this killer is going to find out just how terrifying shadows can be when your entire world is shrouded in darkness. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

In this independent horror film with a comic undertow, six college students traveling through Europe are forced to take shelter for the night in a large old rattletrap house. Trying to pass the time on a stormy night, the students play a parlor game in which they have to answer questions of a personally embarrassing nature. Several of the group reveal long held secrets, which apparently was rather upsetting to someone, because when the four get together for another trip a year later, someone seems determined to kill off their fellow students one by one. Taboo stars Nick Stahl, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Lori Heuring, and Amber Benson; the film was screened at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
