5.0
The Craigslist Killer offers an intriguing premise based on a true crime, but focuses more on romantic drama than psychological tension, leaving its thriller potential underexplored. Weak character development and a lack of emotional depth hinder the impact of its core message—that people can hide d ... ark secrets behind perfect facades. Though the story is systematic, its rushed resolution and unclear tone make it fall short of its gripping potential.
