The mysterious bad guy is a computer genius who creates a website and invites all to join in. It's called www. killwithme.com. His victims are trussed up, gagged and placed in horribly, inventive torturous situations for the world to see via the Internet. The more viewers log on, the quicker the victim dies. So we are all to blame. Get it. A cyber Roman Coliseum, where "thumbs up" means we like to watch. The truly creepy part is that we in the audience of "Untraceable" get the feeling we are participating as well. Much of the creepiness stems from the meticulous medically accurate script co-written by Woodmere native and orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark R. Brinker. One victim is fried with heat lamps, while another is injected with a blood-thinner drip to make him bleed faster. Still more horrific is a death induced by sitting in a tank of water steadily mixing with sulfuric acid. We see the victim's skin peel away like wads of pink tissue paper. It's frightening to think that it took a medical doctor to arrive at such insidious details for death.
If you want to want an experience almost as horrible as watching Iraqi terrorist-caused decapitations, go see "Untraceable." Just don't go if you're a real serial killer.
