Due F Sep 30 The Craigslist Killer offers an intriguing premise based on a true crime, but focuses more on romantic drama than psychological tension, leaving its thriller potential underexplored. Weak character development and a lack of emotional depth hinder the impact of its core message—that people can hide dark secrets behind perfect facades. Though the story is systematic, its rushed resolution and unclear tone make it fall short of its gripping potential.

I have literally set up an account on here to rate this film. It was like it was trying to be an episode of Dawson’s Creek with the most twee, polished crimes ever. This guy took/ruined people’s lives. I’m actually angry I spent so much time watching it until the end. Whatever you do, please do not watch this unbelievable rubbish.

It's based on a true story but it's like the director decided that the audience feel empathy towards the killer for from the beginning regardless of the fact it is based on a true story. From the romcom setup at the beginning to the feel good music when he's caught to, arguably the most disjointed, ridiculous ending to any piece of film ever. As an audience we are led down a path of a romantic story between killer and fiance breaking up and him ending his life in a way that he is portrayed as a martyr. We are expected, and encouraged, to forget he killed people (in real life!) Awful storytelling, awful direction. Genuinely made me think this film was made by a close family relative of the killer in question. Don't watch unless you have watched every other film made ever by anyone.

I was having the feeling that I am watching a romcom, not a thriller. See more Annette B 12/14/2024 Although the movie does a decent job in telling this story and I wouldn’t call it a waste of time, I feel there was some missed storytelling opportunities. The movie has very little depth, you barely get to know the characters and the build up towards a climax is quite disappointing. The music score is frustratingly simplistic, the acting isn’t bad, but since the storyline feels rushed, no actor really gets a chance to shine. I wouldn’t recommend the movie over and above any other in its genre, it really is just good for filling an hour and a half of boredom. See more Read all reviews
