    Fascinating topic, mediocre film. With all of the avenues available to film makers when examining this story, they took the least interesting route. It seems as if the writers got all of their information from a single newspaper article and filled in the rest with whatever they felt like adding. John Gacey had a very fascinating pathology and I would suggest seeing this film only after reading up on him and finding out about all of the interesting stuff that the filmmakers left out.

    Interested in the crazy, perverted serial killer who dressed up like a clown? Me too. This movie is a prime example of how a great, sick, twisted and interesting TRUE STORY can be translated into trash.Its written badly and the acting is worse. NOT scary, intense, interesting, or even remotely accurate. If you actually sit through the drudgery of the entire movie, you will have no better knowlege of Gacy than you did before you started. I know how I sound, but seriously, it IS THAT BAD.

    This is not a fact-based account; just a skimming portrayal of Gacy's profile as a mass murderer. It shows the horror and dementia of the killer and the innocence and suffering of the victims. So sad that this is based on a real-life account. It shows how people like to live in denial of what's actually before their very face and way of living. He could've been stopped had people listened to their true instincts. And in the end, is there ever true justice here??? Disturbing and sad.
