Not long afterward, he discovers blood dripping from the ceiling and upon investigation notices his mother bleeding profusely in her bed and then weakly asking him to help her. This film is absurd hokum of the first water. The setting is very interesting, being a small tourist island in the fall as a background for a deadly chess tournament. The police are puzzled since this clever psychopath is obviously not a freak worshiper of satanism or any other cult. Maybe a better director or casting director would have made something better about it. The paranoid is a very sinister person and his chilling voice enhances the demonic threat which suspends above the heads of the leads and every other person who attends the tournament.
The loser's life falls apart. I especially liked the way in which the mystery was sustained up until the final moments. The chess connection doesn't really work as it doesn't actually fit in with the murders very well feeling forced quite a lot; certainly the whole chess championship is just a side issue and the film never manages to actually convince that this is a battle of wits, in fact the police do most of the leg work and Peter only occasionally blurts out the odd 'Eureka in the bathtub' line. This promotion cannot be applied to past orders. This film is an outstanding and extremely well written dark, disturbing murder thriller. On the contrary Daniel Baldwin the most obscure of the clan is the younger and more aggressive detective and his performance is a pleasant surprise. It is however difficult finding the adult now psychopath and the shrewdness of the director is that he manipulates us to forget the initial scene and concentrate on the twists and the red herrings that the screenwriter has staged for us.
Unfortunetaly, there is, in fact, a little of bad acting in this 90's hidden project; nobody seems to be acting naturally in the character they've been given. But he can't win, his game is already lost. No actor which would pull it much better than Daniel Baldwin, because it was just character written as utterly stupid one. While some of the supporting cast need acting lessons, its camera work and well co-ordinated plot make this an original and enjoyable 'who-dunnit'. All these surprises build up the tension , leading to a heart pumping final 20 minutes period and deliver a superb climax which you will remember for a long long time. Some information is outdated, and I am trying to fix things progressively. Turner, Alex Diakun, Blu Mankuma and Walter Marsh can be seen in , released in 1987.
Surely a great amount has obviously injured egos because Sanderson won them but which one of them snapped? The artwork consists of a series of card cut-out prints of Vic Fair artwork affixed to polyboard. This is the most scary aspect of the film which pulls up the agony even more. However Knight Moves works fairly well most of the time. Direct editing is no longer available, sorry. Tom Skerritt is disappointing as the chief of police, a role that he plays woodenly.
There is a negative point though : Knight Moves belongs to a strange category of films which should be viewed only once and then left with fond memories. Christopher Lambert as the chess master plays out his anguish well as the evidence pointing to him builds to the point where the police believe he did it. This is a very well-made film. A laserdisc was also released by Republic, letterboxed but looking really awful. He should do more films like this. Diane Lane is good as usual, not a lot is asked of Tom Skerrit so he doesn't give a lot as the police chief.
Possible Spoiler ahead that is, if you've never seen a movie before. Tom Skerritt plays one of the most wooden and mundane police officers I have ever seen in a film. Kathy Shepperd unwisely falls for Sanderson in this entertaining yet confusing thriller. When I was watching this film I kept thinking of se7en. The clues in this movie stand up for any mystery lover and it was fun to try to solve the riddles presented and figure out who-dun-it. Daniel Baldwin exaggerates wildly as a macho cop determined to nail Lambert for the crimes, while Ferdinand Mayne hovers in the background, making the most of a glorified cameo as the hero's blind mentor.

Further than the obligatory love interest Lane performs another difficult task. The artist has additionally hand-tinted the movie title. It had me guessing the whole time. After being hospitalized he is released to the custody of his mentally ill mother who is told that he must abstain from playing chess from now on. In the beginning, you find out why everything is happening. Knight Moves is one of the finest suspense movies I have ever viewed. The phone calls he makes with a special voice changer , make him sound like a distorted pervert and will certainly send chills down your spinal column.

Christopher Lambert was great as the Chess Master playing a game with a serial killer. Diane Lane gives perhaps the most convincing performance of the bunch. The murder scenes are not that gory, but scary and breathtaking.
But when the body count rises, the police come to rely on Sanderson's sharp intelligence to steer them in the right direction. A script re-write, with more emphasis on character development, combined with the deletion of superfluous scenes would, I think, have made for a more satisfying whodunit puzzle. The murders aren't explicitly detailed, and Schenkel goes out of his way to avoid crowd-pleasing exploitation, which rather curbs the film's commercial emphasis. Like many of Christophe's films, this one relies heavily on explaining the psychology of the killer, even if it is only in laymen's terms; but it does deal with complex issues of responsibility and duress. Every - and I mean every cliche from horror and trillers was put in that minutes. Set on an isolated island off the coast of British Columbia during a world chess championship, the killer is murdering the locals leaving scrawled blood drenched clues above their beds as he murders by chess moves. I really like this German-American co-production featuring Christopher Lambert.
