Henry. I was in my first flat when we watched it. We sat up that night drinking afterwards talking about how their friendship worked, or they were never friends, listening to Nailbomb song "while you sleep" which samples the movie. Took our flatmate days to get past his shock at Henry how the "friendship" ended.
My room has no lights to begin with

Zac Efron quite literally Killed it as Ted Bundy especially considering how charming yet truly monstrously evil he was as Bundy.
James Hetfield, the Metallica frontman, the Policeman who arrested him.
Zac Efron was way too good-looking to play Bundy.
@@alexlazzerly3677 Yeah, I think it weirdly plays into the fascination some women have for Ted Bundy because he was so "handsome" for a serial killer 😒😒
Zac Efron was so good as Bundy he made me believe for a second that he was innocent
@@alexlazzerly3677 Bundy looks like he could be his dad...ps Bundy is attractive
The serial killer fascination is so odd. Yet interesting.
We're intreged by them but replused by them. They can hide in plain sight but do sick horrible things to people
I know.i think I want to know about them to prevent getting killed by one.
@@ericpanissidi6761 learn self-defense,
Look up H.H holmes 💀 😳
@@yagikidd2300 Albert Fish too, creepy!!
Zac Efron as Ted Bundy and Ross Lynch as Jeffrey Dahmer both nailed their respective roles. This proves that these actors aren’t defined by their Disney characters.
Ross lynch doesn't even come close to Evan Peters as Dahmer
@@exaltedpenie680 Thats true but at the time thats all we had
Acting is easy. It’s literally common sense
@@casperjones3455 It’s a little more than that. You have to feel emotions and know when to detach them.

@@anijeepa wasn't Buffalo Bill based on someone I might be wrong but I remember hearing that part of the movie was real
Thank you for the list I have watched most of these movies already but going to look some up now
I think Efron’s backround just made him even more perfect for the role. Like that was one of the most mentioned factor of Bundy’s character, he was incredibly personable and was described as a heartthrob. So why not cast an actual teen heartthrob.
Agreed!
Same as casting former Sexiest Man Alive Mark Harmon as Bundy in The Deliberate Stranger
He was neither personable nor a heartthrob. He used manipulation and posed as someone injured and in need of assistance to get women to let their guard down.
@@lanagievski1540 literally its so upsetting to think thats what everyone thinks its even worst that some girls use that as an excuse to simp for him and make fan cams
@@lanagievski1540 but that’s what people were saying at the time, e even got letters from women asking him to marry them.
Yes and I really enjoyed it but I was even more so blown away by my best friend Dahmer... Hopefully that one is high up on this list and was also a Disney/teen heartthrob casted Ross Lynch who's performance was just perfect imo.
Netflix's new Dahmer series hits the mark. Evan Peters is haunting!
Helll yeah !!! ...
The cold dark character portrayal was fascinating. He nailed it as an actor. Probably one of tue youngest yet greatest actors of our time.
Now i want a series with Ed Gein
@@rudeboilick3598 he is a good actor but definitely not among the best
Out of all the Jeffery movies, Evan Peters looks EXACTLY like Jeff. Hands down.
I think Zac Effron was a perfect choice because Ted was adored by many until he was found guilty for many gruesome murders and Zac certainly was adored because of his well know work in Disney channel
Definitely a choice by the studio and director that was questioned by insiders and the general movie loving public at the time (probably similar to John Cusack in The Frozen Grounds) that in the end were genius decisions for the film.
@Miles Doyle uh oh
I feel like you're insinuating that he's a secret killer too🙃
Zac efron did a good job gets a Oscar nominated
John Malkoviah he Did Good Job Too gets a Oscar nominated Too 💘💖
his work in Disney Channel
Lies again? Super Kick Wicked Pictures
I may get grief for this but Zac Efron and Charlize Theron gave the two most accurate portrayals of real life serial killers. I dare say equal level. Zac Effron literally channeled Bundy. He deserves high praise.
Zac Efron blew me away in that movie. I was not expecting that performance and I've rewatched that movie just because it was so eerily accurate.
Charlize 's performance as Eileen was simply stunning
@@paulwoodford6229 Definitely. If you watch the movie "Bombshell" you would be absolutely bewildered at how much Charlize Theron looks like former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly. Similarly; Nicole Kidman bore a striking resemblance to Gretchen Carlson.
You won't get grief from me. Both Zac and Charlize channeled their respective serial killers so much so that they remind me of the fictional Hannibal Lector.

True this is exactly what happened.
wat
I feel like Tony would’ve solved it
Was looking for this comment
Fun fact: Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil And Vile also stars James Hetfield of Metallica as Bob Hayward, the police officer who first arrested Bundy.
No way, just watched it recently, huge Metallica fan, and didn't notice him, gotta go back now lol. Do you know the reason why he cameoed? Fan of Bundy case? Friends of filmmakers?
HOLY SHIT your right watched this movie 3 times and I’ve just noticed that after going back and rewatching it just now
If anyone hasn’t seen “secret life of Dahmer”, let me just say it’s about the best S.K movie I’ve ever seen.
Agreed! I liked the movie "Dahmer" too where Jeremy Renner played Jeff.
Mmm I have that version on dvd and it just wasn’t IT. Secret Life has more gore and it seems like it would be closer to the real events.
a nice evil movie, i like it
@@army4life235 exactly. I feel like Renner didnt capture Dahmer well in the role and the movie added way too many fictional things defeating the purpose of it being an educational serial killer movie
Zodiac is one of those movies like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. The acting and writing is so good they are endlessly re-watchable.
Is it just me or the WatchMojo narrators have such a soothing voice.
it just you
I agree!!!!
I agree
just u
Well they should have for good YT clips…. When i hear a voice i dont like i stop watching…. Think watchmojo get it so they have al lot o fans☺️but some voices are nicer/hotter then others. 👍🏳️🌈
Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer is easily one of the best films I have ever seen, and one of my favorites. It does such an amazing job that I can only watch it once.
So underrated
I saw this when I was about 12 when it came out and I didn't like it.
It was just so dark and unpleasant, maybe it was made to be unliked.
@@move_i_got_this5659 Yeah in a real world Atomic Blonde isn't going to beat Downey Jr & Gyllenhaal. Nice Effort tho.
If it was good you would watch more than once
If you only watch it once you might miss a lot of the black humor that becomes apparent through repeat watching.
I swear, Zac Efron’s depiction of Bundy tore my heart with how such a seemingly wonderful man could actually have been that evil, if he wasn’t a serial killer he could have honestly been one of the most famous and best lawyers ever
He is a evil and degenerate nothing more
"To Catch A Killer" was great. Brian Dennehy nailed it. I forgot how good that was.
'Monster' is by far the best movie on this list, it is a masterpiece.
Charlize Theron does the best acting job I have ever seen.
By far the best movie on this list, i literally just said the same thing. Damn you watchmojo for going for the allstar cast instead of the allstar acting.
Zodiac is the best imo. David Finchers unrelenting direction along wirh Jake Gyllenhaal’s performance make it an all timer
@@bradwright9477 It's easily #2.
Great suspense but that's it.
Monster is all heart.....ALL HEART.
Those other movies just portray the killer as if he was Jason Vorhees killing campers.
Monster is a deep character study of a serial killer and how they were made and unlike Zodiac it has a definitive ending.
You should probably watch Zodiac again if you think Monster is better.
Nah, the suspense in Zodiac puts over by a long shot. It’s just so good. You could just feel the dread when Jake Gyllenhall’s character goes to the basement with that one guy. Oof!That’s tense! Not knowing who the actual killer is also helps as it’s a mystery.
Monster is my favorite, Charlize Theron gave one of the greatest performances in film history.
Eioleen's upbringing was nothing short of horrific and unsettling. If she was shown love, happiness and understanding she would have became a good person, instead she became a tortured soul.
The same can be said for most serial killers. Troubled childhoods are one of the biggest commonalities in psychopathy. Also she wasn't a "troubled soul" she was a monster and a murderer.
She had a chance of happiness but messed up a marriage before she became a prostitute. Monster is so phenomenal film with a phenomenal performance. Even christina ricci's performance was well done
Monsters do exist and ghosts too. They are within us, and sometimes they win. Stephen King
@@susancullimore5643 that phrase was used in an episode of criminal minds. 👍
Yes, Reid said in the episode where the unsub was actually a female personality that took over an abused young man. The statement is found in the preface of the author's edition of The Shining.
Totally agree with #1: I watched Zodiac….and then rewatched it, and then went to search for more info about the killings. It’s (imo) definitely one of the best movie of the genre. 👍👍

I’m so happy you included Snowtown, being an Aussie, it’s such a well known case and that movie is insanely realistic, perhaps too realistic, and the acting is Oscar worthy, highly recommend

@@andrewwinch474 that was a long time ago. Would love to see a remake.

My Friend Dahmer is an underrated gem
Ikr, Ross' performance was chilling to say the least
compare that to the new series of jeffery dahmer on netflix. almost everything is spot on to the true story
Which was better my friend dahmer or the show
Bro that was so good
Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile is in my top 10 movies and in my opinion by far the best work Zac Efron has ever done.
There was another little known film about John Wayne Gacy called "Dear Mr. Gacy" and it's surprisingly good. It's about his "final victim" from prison.
I’ve read the book & it’s terrifying how evil that dude truly was
I liked this film a lot. That kid got hella more than he anticipated on. I love William Forsythe who did great, but of course- Brian Dennehy will always be John Wayne Gacy in my eyes.
@Miles Doyle Shut up
@@sharonpopolow6874 YES! To catch a killer is so SO good.
I’ve seen it it’s pretty good i recomend it if somebody haven’t seen it yet
Loved “frozen ground”, so good to see John and Nicholas back together again since con air
Loved frozen ground Vanessa blew me away
Really good job on everyone's part (the 3 main characters)
I’ve seen almost every movie about Bundy & I can shockingly say Zac Efron did an amazing job portraying Ted!
Memories of Murder is disrespected on this list, definitely should be on the top 5
The one with Zac Efron actually did give me crazy dreams like where I was scared but wanted to know what happens lol. He did an amazing job in that movie even though the title is so hard to remember. The end though... whoa, give me chills I swear
Time to add the new dahmer series to this list!! Best performance 🙌🏼

@@move_i_got_this5659 I believe that too, but unfortunately I have personally met a few who were venomous on the inside
Some people don't have a heart
@@richardknows6763 sad but true
@@move_i_got_this5659 i personally don't agree w this quote, not all people are good
I've read many criticisms of Zac Efron's portrayal of Ted Bundy, how he'd keep facing the camera and smiling, but if you watch any actual footage of Bundy, that is exactly how he was. Bundy was an absolute jerk, but his looks and smarm fooled many people, including the all the women he tortured and murdered. Efron nailed it, much like Mark Harmon did back in the 80's.
That is precisely how I feel; Zac Efron seems suitable when acting as Ted Bundy. Besides the criticism, I have also seen some people praise Efron’s performance in the film because he is able to capture Bundy’s charm and manipulative nature, as well as the disturbing aspects of his personality.
Other than people criticizing his acting skills, I think they are also protesting how the film glorifies Bundy and his crimes rather than showing people that he is a violent and dangerous serial killer. People should note that the film was not intended to be a documentary, so it takes a different perspective.
I have seen the comparison picture between Efron and Bundy. In my opinion, Efron shares a physical resemblance to Bundy with a similar bone structure and hairstyle, which made his portrayal more convincing. As for his acting skills, I believe that he has experience playing charismatic characters, such as his previous role in “High School Musical,” making him a good fit for portraying Bundy, who was known for his ability to charm and manipulate his victims
.Either way, whether or not people believe that Efron’s portrayal of Bundy was accurate will depend on their interpretation and analysis of the film.
I personally think 'Memories of Murder' is the best movie about a serial killer
Agree.
true
Anyone else laugh when the dog started talking?
Instantly
Mark Alexander what dog
@@owendytor3617 The one in the Summer of Sam clip.
Zodiac was a good pick. It’s a three hour film that you can honestly watch a hundred times over. Captivating each and every time.
The golden glove (der goldene Handschuh) is partly really hard to watch, due to it's creepy main character.
I really liked it.
It is not your typical clean-cut American films heavily focusing on the story and what it creates.
The atmosphere is very unpleasant and you get confronted with very disturbed man.
Not a popcorn movie like the rest of the list.
The movie realy is hard to watch sometimes but the book on which that movie is based is much worse!
I am from Hamburg/germany and i know this pub very well. "Zum goldenen Handschuh". The movie is excellent.
"Jeffrey Dahmer is arguably the sickest serial killer of all time" Albert Fish isn't mainstream like Dahmer, but I'd argue he's the sickest serial killer or the Russian boy scout killer who filmed himself hanging little boys. Not something you ever wanna google. That's what ended my fascination with serial killers. I really wish I can wash that memory from my brain.
Same bro. In my college English class last year, I had to do a report on a serial killer because our class was based around true crime. I was told by my teacher to research Dahmer, and reading what he did to his victims and their bodies make me sick to my stomach. Guy got what was coming to him as far as I’m concerned
Corll, chikatilo, bob berdella and Randy Kraft were pretty bad too.
Albert fish hands down of the most grossest killer
What did you expect? Serial killers just to stab someone and call it a day?
Of course there's horrible ones.
But you know what's scarier? Literally EVERY politican.

I don't know if it would qualify since it was a three-part mini series rather than a movie, but Des, about the Scottish serial killer Dennis Nilsen, was incredible. David Tennant starred in the title role, and he portrayed the soullessness of the man so well. The series itself is more about the investigation after his arrest, trying to identify the victims and such, but... just wow. Amazing.
100% agree, Des was better than many of the films/tv movies on this list. David Tennant absolutely nailed the performance and bore an uncanny resemblance to the real Dennis Nilsen. Great shout!
I love Summer Of Sam, an older period piece, but the drama is so real and relevant. Adrian Brody, John Leguizamo and Spike Lee were all brilliant
watched it like 20 times
Re: Memories of Murder, lead actor Song Kang-ho deserves a mention for his performance as the small-town detective. He's starred in a number of Bong's films. and is one of Korea's best actors.
I think that film is in the top three
Snowtown is chilling. Very hard to stomach, but really well done.
Zac Efron's performance as Ted Bundy is mesmerizing.
Henry: Portrait of a serial killer is such a horrifying watch. It's been years since I saw it, but I can never forget the knot I had in my stomach for most of the movie. My friend and I, after watching it, just turned the tv off and went to do separate things for a while in silence in order to process the movie.
Aileen Wuomos, from victim, prostitute, to serial killer played Charlize Theron and won an Oscar for “Best Actress-Drama” in 2004.
My favorite too!!
It's clearly the best movie on this list by a mile.
By like 100 miles. Watchmojo has never upset me like this before!! Again ill say they went with the allstar cast instead of the PERFECT acting Charlie has provided us.
Thanks so much for this! Been looking for some movies based on true crime.
I am so happy to see Citizen X on the list. A masterpiece in this style of movies and a poignant portrait of the USSR those days.
You included some great picks - The Frozen Ground and Helter Skelter are a couple of my favorites. But an honorable mention nod to In Cold Blood would have been nice.
Charlize absolutely SLAYED her role as Aileen. I mean I couldnt believe it.
Zodiac is the greatest SK movie, I’ve seen that movie millions of times, sorry guys but memories of a murder can’t be 16 , that’s insulting but besides that good job
I saw that in theaters when I was in high school. After my friends told me how boring it was, I made other friends.
Yes, you're right. Zodiac is the best.
So damn good, I have the ltd edt director's cut on Bluray. My personal #1 SK flick.
Obviously you’ve never seen Monster.
@@move_i_got_this5659
Monster ain't exactly accurate, unlike Zodiac. Great movie, though.
@@Axolotl_Mischief
Whoa, there's a fucking director's cut? Never mind, I'm going to Amazon. Rent is gonna have to wait, lol.
By the way I didn't even know that Ross Lynch played Jeffrey Dahmer and Zac Efron: Ted Bundy. crazy jump from what we knew them for both on Disney
Exactly when I first heard that about them i was like wtf
They both did great jobs!
They both took dark twisted paths from Disney lol
Citizen X is brilliant. This was back when HBO was turning out a ton of great movies (Barbarians at the Gate, And the Band Played On, American Splendor, Countdown to Looking Glass, Live From Baghdad, and Doomsday Gun, for example).
I gotta say, but it’s pretty clear that Citizen X is the best of the bunch. This list is very inaccurate and biased.
Fun fact: Jeremy Renner was initially offered the roll of Dexter for the show of the same name but he turned it down saying that he couldn't play another serial killer again.
Dexter is more of a vigilante than a serial killer.
@@bazookajoe6133 I mean his is a vigilante in a sense, that's definitely true but he is still very much a serial killer
Yup. Zodiac is my ultimate favorite cast, music, everything got me glued to the film.
The most recent Dahmer biopic is getting a lot of flack but Evan Peters is 𝘴𝘰𝘰𝘰 good in it! He’ll creep you out but also break your heart at the same time💔

Charlize Theron's portrayal of Eileen Wuoronos was mesmerizing!
The Golden Glove is incredible. After I watched it, I wanted to see what others had to say. One review described it as "The first movie I ever smelled." That pretty much sums it up.
most gruesome movie of all of them
This list was indeed great as heck, many of the movies I havent seen. Nice to catch up! ☑️🍿
Hawkeye was Dahmer in 2002. 20 years later Quicksilver is Dahmer. Marvel is everywhere
Man, Theron's performance in Monster is one of the top 3 performance I have seen in movie/TV.
Zodiac stars Hulk, Iron Man, & Mysterio
Great video and I enjoyed it and have a blessed day
Summer of Sam is a genuinely underrated movie.... Thank you for giving it some props!
This a good list today!
Monster should be #1 on this list. Not to take away from Zodiac, but Charlize Theron's performance is incredible from start to finish. Not merely the physical transformation, it is how she brings out every element of Aileen Wournos - from the vulnerable to the abominable, she portrays Aileen in her most human qualities as she eventually breaks down entirely to become the titular monster. You can feel a sort of sympathy for her, all the while fully aware of the horrific murders she's comitting.
Couldnt have said it better myself.
Its unwatchable, I walked out in 15 minutes, just unbearable unisteresting movie.
Aileen Wurounos is said to be America’s first woman serial killer: her life and cases, trial, and death row journey are a deeply fascinatinating study of the intersections between childhood trauma and abuse, promiscuity, androgyny, lesbian lives, poverty, sex work, The State, Florida, etc.
I’ll never look at Donna the same way again.
It’s funny that the scene you showed from Monster had Scott Wilson in it. Wilson famously played one of the two killers in the movie In Cold Blood, which was based on real events. The book, which was written by Truman Capote, and the movie both have been cited as the beginning of our cultures fascination with true crime.
From Hell and Zodiac are underrated gems. It was criminal that Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo, or Robert Downey Jr. didn’t get Oscar nominated.
I loved Zodiac! So great! I watched Henry a couple years ago, alone at night and was legit spooked!
Love your content! Stay safe everyone 🌞🌞🌞
It's not exactly a movie but the new monster on the Netflix series portraying dahmer Evan page f****** kills it
Henry. The most terrifying movie I've ever seen -- and written and directed by "some guy" who owned a video store, who was hired to make "a horror movie."
Well now I want to watch Iron Man, the Hulk, and Mysterio hunt down the Zodiac Killer
Currently free on RUclips Movies 😄 enjoy (dk when it’s gonna disappear tho)
Yes! So much.
haha 😄 i love it how metallica james hetfield is the highway cop in that bundy movie 😄
Citizen X was great, but the USSR government was suppressing the crimes. Zodiac was also great. Curious why there isn't a popular movie about The Nightstalker (Richard Ramirez).
Citizen X was so beautifully edited and acted that my eyes were glued to the screen. I had trouble breathing. Cannot believe that more people haven’t seen it.
I would like to see a really good movie about Ramirez. I also want to see a movie about Rodney Alcala (The Dating Game Killer).
Ed Gein was not a serial killer. Only 2 victims, maybe 3 if he killed his brother. He was mostly just a grave robber.
2 is enough to be a serial killer. A serial killer is someone who has more than 1 kill at 2 different times and he most likely killed his brother anyway so ed was definitely a serial killer
Yep, and pretty much every "based on a true story" thriller movie uses him as inspiration, and heavily embellish details. Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a good example.
I know on Criminal Minds it actually said 3+, and I also just googled it and it said the FBIs definition of serial is 3 or more. 🤷🏽♀️
There’s were also theories on whether he may of killed unknown hitchhikers during his crime spree but that was never confirmed though
Most definitions I've seen said 3 but I did see one that said 2.
He's definitely a serial killer.
Ed Gein also had some inspiration towards Texas Chainsaw Massacre. And Zodiac is a masterpiece. Which I'm so thankful for considering I personally find him to be the most fascinating of serial killers.
Oddly though. He wasn’t a serial killer. He robbed graves and was only known to have killed one
This is the list that i have been waiting for
Man, theres a big difference between hard to watch for gore and or brutality - and hard to watch because of the deep emotional/psychological turmoil these killers endure themselves, brought to light by incredible writing/directing/performing. Monster was hard to watch for both many reasons, as many other on this list.
Not condoning their actions or glorifying it whatsoever - but it's just fucking sad that some people are wired so broken that it breaks things around them too.
God bless.
For the ppl who are mad at jeffrey d’s netflix special.. need this vid
This may not qualify but I had nightmares after watching In Cold Blood in 1967. Also, The Assassination of Gianni Versace was chilling. Helter Skelter and The Deliberate Stranger was made so well. They were both made for television. Michael Burke gave a great performance in Ted Bundy.
Agree..."In Cold Blood" (1967) was a great movie.
Even though it was a season of a TV show; I was amazed by the season of "American Crime Story" that focused on the assassination of Gianni Versace. Darren Criss bore a striking resemblance to Andrew Cunanan, Edgar Ramirez and Penélope Cruz were equally impressive as Gianni and Donatella Versace, and Ricky Martin gave a great performance as Antonio D'Amico. It really didn't take much for Penélope Cruz to get into character as Donatella Versace; all she needed was a blonde wig, a tight fitting red dress, and a fake cigarette.
I'm glad you included "Monster."
Dahmer was not a psychopath. People in these videos just throw these words around without really knowing what they mean. Dahmer was more than likely a sociopath, but he definitely wasn't a psychopath. And no, he was not the worst or even one of the worst. Does this person know about Rodney Alcala, The Hillside Stranglers or The Toolbox Killers? They and others are arguably much worse than Dahmer.
Anyone else obsessed with anything True Crime?
Absolutely intrigued, and obsessed by the whole genre, plus, you never know if you will have to use some of their tactics if and when you ever face a killer yourself, I mean some of that evil clobbering stuff could come in handy🦶💪🥊.
@@troublenstrife5761 all my true crime documentary’s influenced me to want to persue a career in forensics
@@shoshanaloomer I also wanted to pursue that path, circumstances did not allow so I worked nursing the criminally insane within forensic psychiatric units. Fair to say tricky/hard work but rewarding and interesting.

too bad The Golden Glove is so low on the list, it was an amazing movie, harsh and thrilling, macabre to almost black comedy degree in places, but amazing
Daaaaamn...i gotta alot of movie watching to do...have seen a few of them but these all look great
I agree with these choices. Plus I remember the Brian Dennehy film being played on TV when I was maybe around 12 & it terrified me. There was just something about him. So much so that I really couldn't watch anything that he was creepy in until my 20s! He is an amazing actor, I'm just glad I caught a repeat of Cocoon when I was about 30ish to get over my fear of him.
I loved Manhunter. Too bad its not on this list. Michael Mann made a masterpiece with this one. Its the best of all Hannibal movies-my opinion
You must have the attention span of a housefly. Did you read the title of this clip?
In my opinion, Dahmer, My Friend Dahmer, Ted Bundy, and Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, And Vile should have been higher on the list and Monster should have been #1
Golden glove is one of the best ones. Those are really mediocre
I saw that dog scene from summer of Sam when I was like 9 and I busted out laughing.
Same over here 😂😂😂😂
I love how the dog is still wagging his tail in that scene too
Bundy: An American Icon(2008) and Chicago Massacre: Richard Speck(2007) were great films! Corin Nemic played both Bundy and Richard Speck. He did an amazing job in these portrayals.
Michael Rooker's debut as Henry Lee Lucas in *"Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer"* (1986) is one of the best I've seen in a long time. It looked documentary style and the fact it's based on a real life killer is all the more disturbing. In the UK the film was banned for years until the late 90s.
Thank you! Will definitely search about it!
Top 10 worst things that happened to scorpion (Mortal Kombat)
great list, not a bad film among them
Karla is so underrated, although it is biased towards her being a ‘victim’ it still shows how disturbing their crimes were.
Laura Prepon gave a good performance as Karla Homolka.
Changeling with Angelina Jolie was incredibly disturbing and hard to watch and As far as the Serial Killer theme is concerned that is a good thing.. I'd recommend it to anyone here who hasn't watched it yet.
I loved John Leguizamo in the Summer of Sam. Actually that whole cast was pretty awesome.
Awesome and cool!
