In The Shadows

When mutilated bodies start cropping up all across the island of Manhattan, all more gruesome than the next, no one ever suspects the more sinister nature behind the crimes. As the crimes spread and new faces flash across the news every night, 19-year-old Elowen, an introverted antique shop employee, begins to notice the strange coincidences that follow her boss and his new friends around, from speaking in a dead language to showing up in odd places late at night. Not one to snoop, Elowen tries to ignore the impossible connections her boss and his friends seem to have to the murders happening everywhere. That is until her upstairs neighbor is brutally murdered in the alley behind her building and Elowen witnesses the perpetrator ripping into the old man with her own eyes.
