Daniel O This films leaves an impact. Every actress in this film that portrayed a victim showed a differing but real range of emotions and I couldn't help but feel for everyone who was hurt along the way. It's hard to believe that a serial killer appeared on a national dating game show... But, the triumph that comes when the runaway teenager makes sure he gets caught is a win for everyone. Her emotional intelligence in asking him to keep it a secret because she'd be embarrassed herself is brilliant. The film was just the right amount of time (1.5 hours) to tell the store, deliver the emotion and finish off with some details of what happened to Rodney Alcala after the fact. Lastly, Anna Kendrick killed it: both as a direct as an actress. This film really made me want to watch more of her work. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Tom M More about how women navigate the strange world of a male dominated society. A bit messy with the timelines and probably not as close to the awful truth as it could be. This is a pretty gripping tale of being in the wrong place in the wrong time. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Danielle W A gripping film until the end. It covers quite a bit of ground, rings true to my experience as a woman, and very believable that women would be dismissed when trying to report a dangerous criminal in the 70s. Rodney is well acted, with the right amount of brains and charisma to get away with anything, it seems. The time frame kept me guessing, but in a good way. The runaway steals the show a bit - to have the bravery to act as she did was amazing to watch, and an homage to all the women who have ever had to do this, in fear of their lives. Unfortunately, this film is very relevant in 2025 where less that 1% of sexual assaults results in a criminal conviction. Anna Kendrick should be proud of this film. I look forward to seeing more of her work in years to come. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review Jeffrey P Never fully grabbed me but had my attention all the way through due to the fact that it is based on a true story. It doesn’t look like there was a whole lot to the real story, and it was a case of ordinary people in an out of the ordinary situation where not a great deal happens, which is even more of a credit to the quality of the film. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/20/25 Full Review Huub B All men are bad, except a janitor apparently. I get what they want to say but it's extreme how all men are really dumb harassers in the movie while all women are likeable smart people. Only friendly man was the killer. Still a fun movie, but that was just a bit stupid. I liked the ending Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/25 Full Review Koen H In-cre-di-dle !! We were clustered to the screen!!
