Copycat (1995)

In the shadowy lanes of San Francisco, a sinister game of cat and mouse is unfolding. Dr. Helen Hudson, an esteemed criminal psychologist with a chilling specialty in serial killers, finds herself trapped in a deadly dance with a new breed of monster. After surviving an assassination attempt by the notorious Daryll Lee Cullum during a trial, Helen is left scarred and agoraphobic, confined to the eerie silence of her apartment, her only companion being her loyal friend, Andy. Suddenly, the city is gripped by a wave of horrifying crimes. Detectives M.J. Monahan and Reuben Goetz plunge into the darkness, investigating a series of murders with a familiar, yet disturbingly unique pattern. The chilling realization dawns on Helen - the city is in the clutches of a vicious copycat serial killer, Peter Foley, hell-bent on etching his name in the annals of infamy. The reclusive Helen, from the confines of her apartment, courageously steps into the fray, anonymously aiding the police department with her keen insights. However, her involvement doesn't stay hidden for long. After a series of phone calls, she's identified by the police, leading to an unexpected alliance. Teaming up with Detectives M.J. and Reuben, Helen embarks on a chilling journey to unravel the twisted psyche of the killer. But the copycat killer is closer than they think. Helen soon finds herself in Peter Foley's crosshairs, turning into a prime pawn in his macabre masterplan. He exploits her vulnerability, stalking her relentlessly, as Detectives M.J. and Reuben race against the clock to protect her. The question looms ominously – will they be able to ensnare Foley before he claims his next victim, or will they be mere spectators in his horrifying masterpiece? The stage is set for a chilling showdown, where the line between hunter and hunted blurs, and survival is anything but guaranteed.
