This is a terrible movie that didn't need to be made.

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.

As with other productions from Farrands, it's a complete waste of time.

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

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.

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

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.

Probably could have done a few more read throughs. A terrible answer to a question no one asked.

This screen play had almost nothing to do with Wuornos actual story. It was the first time I heard of her marriage, otherwise, it was all fiction.
