Papertrail

Bestialische Morde erschüttern die Stadt. FBI Agent Abraham steht vor einem Rätsel, denn alle Spuren verlaufen im Sand. Der einzige Hinweis deutet auf den legendären Serienkiller Alone, der schon vor 10 Jahren die Stadt in Angst und Schrecken versetzte. Der abgehalfterte Special Agent Enola wird wieder aktiviert, denn voller Besessenheit hat er Jahre damit verbracht, Alone zu jagen. Und so beginnt auch jetzt wieder ein Katz-und-Maus-Spiel, in dem bald nicht mehr klar ist, wer Killer und wer FBI Agent ist.

Wissenswertes

Papertrail is a 1998 Canadian thriller film produced, co-written and directed by Damian Lee, starring Chris Penn, Michael Madsen and Chad McQueen. In it, a loner detective is brought back to the unsolved serial killer case that once destroyed his social life, when he is asked to attend a therapy group whose psychiatrist has been receiving phone calls from the perpetrator. On North American home video, the film was renamed Trail of a Serial Killer, while it is known as Serial Cops in the U.K.

Production

The film was originally known under the working title of Fear. It was co-written by Joseph O'Brien, a future writer for the Canadian horror film magazine Rue Morgue. O'Brien was displeased with the finished product, calling it "atrocious" and humorously noting that he tried to avoid conversations about it.

Photography took place in the Toronto metropolitan area during parts of November and December 1996, under the title of Papertrail. Scenes from the final set piece involving a wounded Chris Penn were filmed on the city's major artery of Yonge Street. In a Toronto Star article published ahead of release, the actor playing the serial killer mentioned feeling uncomfortable during the shoot due to the nature of the role, revealing part of the ending.
