Horror Vault's take

When prison psychologist Diana Purlow gains access to death-row serial killer Jesse Mowat, she sets out to uncover what twisted forces shaped one of the most dangerous minds behind bars. Her pursuit of answers puts her at odds with a hostile warden and draws her dangerously close to a darkness she may not be prepared to face. The film probes the thin line between clinical curiosity and personal peril, wrapping a character-driven cat-and-mouse study around a deeply unsettling subject. With a cast anchored by genre veterans, it leans hard into atmosphere and dread rather than spectacle.
