Review of Gacy

Gacy (2003 Video)
7/10
Better than some say
18 October 2006
I'd read some really negative comments before watching this movie. I was pleasantly surprised by the way it unfolded and particularly impressed by the performance of Holton. Never seen him before, but I thought he took on the lead role very well indeed. If I'm honest, I do prefer the made for TV version, To Catch A Killer, starring Brian Denehey. Gacy isn't as in depth but, nevertheless, is an extremely well made and interesting look at one of America's most notorious serial killers. The only criticism I have is that, at under 90 minutes long, which did seem to pass incredibly fast by the way, it really doesn't have the time to fully convey the complexity of the character or the games he played with the Police involved in the case. However, I enjoyed this movie very much and would recommend a viewing, especially to those who find this genre interesting.
