December 15, 2010A made for tv version of the story based on the real life Serial Killer John Wayne Gacy and as a result it's not a particularly well acted piece. It's a no thrills, straight forward telling of the horrific murders, but it at least tells the events of the remorseless Man.

March 24, 2009Watched this after watching the A&E Biography on Gacy.

October 15, 2008Another "real life biography" that seems to skim over the true facts to make a more entertaining movie. It does get across the sickness of this serial killer but slowly without much depth. Still... clowns!

Was this movie really necessary? Sickoid film content is far from entertaining.

Martin Scribbs, Low IQ Canadian
Gacy channels its horror through bicentennial suburban kitsch, clowns-in-the-closet visuals, and a heaving, foul, maggot-carpeted crawlspace deep with death and lies.

We barely learn a thing about [Gacy], other than the fact that his father abused him and he hates his wife. Full Review

In this unenlightening, dramatized account of Gacy's crime spree, first-time writer-director Clive Saunders, working with television writer David Birke, displays little genuine interest in why Gacy ki... Full Review
