An escort is brought down an alley and into a basement. The guy and the room are pretty creepy. But not as creepy as the book she picks up that appeared to be made out of skin and has a blinking eye on the cover. Somehow she overlooks both.
She ends up being the sixth girl to go missing in six weeks, but the police don’t take it seriously. The chief even blames the missing woman for either shooting up or dating the wrong guy. When police woman Lila mentions the previous five women were found dead, the chief look sheepish but still dismisses her concern.
Lila decides to investigate the case and enlists the help of her best friend who is not in law enforcement, but is better at online research. This culminates with Lila going to a private club pretending to be a member and reading out loud from the skin covered book. Oh hell no!
While her heart is in the right place, she’s a terrible cop. She takes evidence from the crime scene. She partners with her friend and they work independently of the police. When someone is murdered, she’s too tired to call it in and decides to wait until the next day to tell the chief. Good grief.
This is a rough one to get through. The most interesting thing is one of the four creatures called forth when reading from the book uses the costume from the Humpty Dumpty horror movies.
Ridiculous dialogue
Shouldn’t we call your boss or something, especially since there’s been a murder?
