Baseline Killer on AllMovie

Inspired by the true-life crimes of the notorious Baseline serial killer, director Ulli Lommell's grim shocker tells the tale of a festive loft-warming party gone horribly awry. It was the spring of 2004. A rash of killings had occurred in southern Phoenix, just along Baseline Road, and the local police were desperate for leads. Meanwhile, a group of childhood friends gathers to reminisce about the past, and celebrate the good fortune of one of their own. When the topic of conversation turns to a serial killer that's said to be stalking the community, the hostess shrugs it all off as an urban legend told to keep the local teens in line. When the electricity is cut and the first gunshots ring out, however, the frightened skeptic must outsmart the murderous madman who's always one step ahead of his prey.
