Brian Costello Common Sense Media This is a terrible movie that didn't need to be made. Rated: 1/5 Jan 25, 2022 Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider Aileen Wuornos: American Boogeywoman wants to be another chapter in the Monster story, but it's not clear who asked for this to be told, and besides that, it reads flimsier than a grocery store tabloid. Jan 22, 2022 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com As with other productions from Farrands, it's a complete waste of time. Rated: D- Oct 8, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Zero E The movie was hard to watch, because Peyton List changed into a serial killer, and not just any serial killer but one of the ugliest is history. She looked great in the movie, but her personality was so ratchet, going off like a crazy cat lady at the littlest thing. The mismatch in appearance and personality made it tough. In Monster, whats it face was ugly in the movie, so that blended in with her character. There's no way are proddy that jumps from one car to another not having a home, drinking doing drugs, could keep herself, at a level of beauty as Peyton List. No way. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/13/24 Full Review Andre G Not really knowing if this is really a true story or not but I do know she was married to him. This was never mentioned by her in any other interviews. As for the movie it wasn't that bad. It would be nice if the story could actually be corbratated. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/01/23 Full Review Yoosik Ethan O Supposedly a prequel to ‘Monster', but nowhere near as good or as accurate. As a true crime drama Monster is way superior. I think much more is fictional than accurate in this film. Peyton List makes a great villain in the right film, and is entertaining in genres like Cobra Kai. Her character is more like some super villain in a teen slasher flick, which is weird considering this is supposed to be based on a real person and real events. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/23 Full Review Cristian s Peyton List se ve hermosa y enojona como siempre pero el personaje (bah la historia de la película en general) jamás llega a tener ningún sentido, no tiene ni pies ni cabeza. Olvidable. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/22/23 Full Review Cheryl G Wasn't that bad and fills in her early story. Did not know any of it. I understand the "monster" tags. Though severely abused.....a monster she was.🙏🏾 Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Ray L Horible, I can't believe I watched this until the end, I was hoping it might possibly redeam itslef but no. Thumbs down across the board on this one. Netflix states that it is "Loosely based on the serical killers life"...VERY loosely would be more accurate.
