10 to Midnight (1983)

In the pulsating heart of Los Angeles, tension mounts as a series of brutal murders shake the city. A twisted serial killer, Warren Stacy, exploits his good looks and physical prowess to lure unsuspecting women into his deadly web, only to slaughter them in the raw light of rejection. With a chilling modus operandi that includes stripping naked to limit evidence and using latex gloves to eliminate fingerprints, this cunning predator always remains one step ahead of justice. Amidst the chaos, a partnership of polar opposites forms. The seasoned Detective Leo Kessler, hardened by years on the force, joins forces with the fresh-faced Detective Paul McAnn. They are drawn into the hunt when Betty Johnson, a childhood friend of Kessler's daughter Laurie, and her boyfriend become the latest victims of the naked killer's rampage. Kessler's intuitive hunch leads him to Warren, but the killer's alibi is ironclad, and his expertise in constructing unbreakable defenses frustrates their efforts. The plot thickens when Warren, upon overhearing a conversation at Betty's funeral, learns of a diary that could potentially incriminate him. In his relentless pursuit of this journal, he leaves a trail of more bloodshed, intensifying the urgency of the detectives' mission. As Kessler becomes increasingly desperate to catch Warren, he plants false evidence in the killer's apartment, a move that backfires spectacularly when Warren's defense lawyer accuses McAnn of perjury, leading to the murderer's release. With the shackles of the law now off, Warren sets his vengeful sights on Laurie, sparking a gripping chase where Kessler must bend the rules to protect his daughter and finally bring the elusive killer to justice. In this thrilling cat-and-mouse game, "10 to Midnight" explores the harsh realities of law enforcement and the horrifying lengths a deranged mind will go to for revenge.
