L’istinto della caccia

L’istinto della caccia (1998)

Papertrail

L'agente dell'FBI Jason Enola ha sacrificato dieci anni della sua vita sulle tracce del "Solitario", un imprendibile serial-killer. È diventata un'ossessione. Inutilmente, perché non ha trovato indizi, impronte digitali o piste calde da seguire. Ma se il "Solitario" ritorna al lavoro, lui è pronto a riprendere la caccia e a rilanciare la sfida. Ed è proprio quello che avviene quando un gruppo di pazienti della dottoressa Elizabeth Robertson, vittime di disturbi psicologici dovuti alla paura, divengono bersaglio per il killer. Enola, con l'aiuto dell'agente Brad Abraham, prepara una trappola ma la stessa idea viene alla dottoressa e anche al "Solitario".

Curiosità

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.
