Bathed in Crimson You Shall Suffer

The city’s darkness hides many things: the gritty underbelly where the sex workers ply their trades, the garbage strewn alleyways where that trade is sometimes practiced, the furtive glances of those who scurry about under the cover of night, feeding their habits, scrounging for handouts, or just trying to eke out a life. It also hides the actions of a predator, one with a penchant for movies and the ability to recreate the extravagantly artistic scenes in his favorite films. Detectives LaCozzo and Knox are on the case, but the kill scenes are intricate, and the victims reduced to cinematic art pieces at the hands of the phantom known as The Critic. The deaths are painfully slow, and the killer makes sure that each will heed the warning: Bathed in crimson you shall suffer!
