...film's rather grimly fated players. For another, a sex criminal--a child molester (Jackie Earle Haley), newly released from jail--has moved in with his mother nearby, in a sort of living, breathing nightmare on Elm Street. Is he still a threat? An ex-cop (Noah Emmerich) has no doubt on that point and is devoting his many idle days to harassing him.
