For example, the characteristics of a lust killer include a controlled crime scene, evidence of torture, the body being moved, a specific type of victim, no weapon left at the crime scene, and rape; all of these features are also included for the thrill killer.

If the audience can’t follow on what’s going on with the film, they’ll lose interest. The plot is to hard to piece together, if the audience blinks they will miss the clues. One example of this is all the location changes that goes through the film, the audience never gets a clear notification to where our main characters are til they are already there.
