A sadistic madman who left no clues at the scene of his crimes except for the ominous calling card of "Bind. Torture. Kill.," the man who eluded authorities for over three decades was finally captured by authorities after once again giving in to his bloodlust and embarking on a vicious killing spree. Though his murderous exploits had finally come to a close and the residents of Wichita could comfortably breathe a sigh of relief, the horrors that Dennis Rader (aka the B.T.K. killer) inflicted upon the frightened community offer a chilling reminder that even the most upstanding of citizens can harbor dark and frightening secrets. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I'm only giving this 1/2 a star because you can't leave a negative star rating. Everything about this was horrible: acting, camera work, dialogue, etc. And I only got through the first 15 mins...I'm sure it probably got worse.

    So awful. It looks like the director's dad loaned him his old camcorder and they got some friends together to make a movie that has just barely has anything to do with the real BTK Killer. Half of it is just stock footage of slaughterhouses that have nothing to do with anything.

    W.T.F is more like it. In the 'based on a true story' genre, has there ever been a less accurate film? Even if I could get past that, the film itself is an absolute waste.

    Apparently Lommel thinks B.T.K was some sort of eco-terrorist who choked people with rats? I'm not an exp... read moreert on B.T.K, but I'm pretty sure that's not even close to the truth. The acting is terrible. The script is terrible. The direction is terrible, and seriously look like it was filmed on my cellphone.

    I'm really at kind of a loss to describe this in an accurate way. Besides life in prison, having this movie based on his life is a close second on the list of Dennis Rader's punishments.

    I remember watching the court case for the real btk killer. When they read the virdict he stood there unemotional and with no remorse! It was so painful watching the families of his victims cry in pain. This movie starts out with him hog tying one of his victims and burying t... read morehem. He hires a prostitute and has her hog tie him. She tried getting away from him by escaping off of the balcony. But she dropped her purse with her wallet. Shows him cruising around picking on everyone in his city. Mainly showing his power and control
    Over people. If you notice he smiles after every ticket he gives. The ending is a little slow. But I do like how the quoted his real lines.
