McCormack is out to promote number one as best he can, and when he catches on to the notoriety that Virna could lend him if he capitalizes on her psychic powers, he has no problem in exploiting her. At first one of the local cops, a part-time stand-up comedian of dubious talent, is out to help Mack. But Mack's sensationalism turns off the police in the end, though they also have no problem in exploiting Virna's unique visions of the murder victims. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Bill Gibron, PopMatters
Overlong at 97 minutes and burdened with a lame stand-up comedy subplot, The Killing Hour...is actually a pretty good serial killer caper.
