In the midst of her turmoil, a pair of deranged serial killers begin leaving bored young woman in a sleepy community called Spearfish photos of their mutilated victims. Are they real or staged? The culprit is either a serial killer or some creep with a sick sense of humour.
Gory, violent and exceptionally inane, The Girl in the Photographs is not completely without its terror-inducing moments, but there isn't enough of its redeeming features to sustain it.
The makers of the grim, film-school-sloppy horror-thriller The Girl in the Photographs never flesh out their provocative thesis: that photography is a predatory act that allows photographers to control their subjects.
No snowballing acts of obsession to help increase discomfort. It's all empty and vague, and worst of all, boring. Slasher cinema shouldn't induce a coma.
