The Craigslist Killer offers an intriguing premise based on a true crime, but focuses more on romantic drama than psychological tension, leaving its thriller potential underexplored. Weak character development and a lack of emotional depth hinder the impact of its core message—that people can hide dark secrets behind perfect facades. Though the story is systematic, its rushed resolution and unclear tone make it fall short of its gripping potential.
