    A truly disturbing movie! I would recommend this movie to anyone who has any interest in true crime.

    This movie literally had me squirming in my seat. It was very difficult to watch because it was so explicit. Never let your children watch this! For adults, or people who like to understand the mind, this is a must see. William Forsythe is unbelievably fantastic in this role (he should get an award). This is a dark, disgusting film and is superior in its portrayal of serial killers. I recommend watching it, but be prepared to be DEEPLY disturbed (I mean REALLY).

    Yes   |   No
