Reception
Released around Halloween, 2011, the TV reviewer David Hinckley of the 'New York Daily News' said, the movie "provides a holiday-appropriate way to wrap up Halloween while you're unwrapping the candy corn." He says the movie may have trouble competing against other police procedurals then common on television at the time: "While Prepon does a good job conveying Eve's controlled desperation, with a mix of shrewd insight and world-weary self-protection, she's also got a lot of competition these days from women playing smart investigators. Kyra Sedgwick, Dana Delany, Maria Bello. It's a tough crowd to stand out in."David Hinckley, [http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/tv-movies/lifetime-killing-game-tasty-halloween-night-movie-treat-article-1.967405 Lifetimes The Killing Game is a tasty Halloween night movie treat], 'Daily News' (New York), October 28, 2011.
