Postmortem

The only way to trap a serial killer is to know what he feels, what he thinks, and when he'll strike...again.

1998105 min5.5 / 10

A paranoid thriller about a man framed for a murder he didn't commit, forced to confront a killer who seems to know his movements before they happen.

The only thing James wants is to remain away from Scotland. One day, however, he receives a fax, a printout of an unknown person's obituary. The next day, he is charged and arrested for the murder of this person.
