Disappoints with a disjointed plot and lackluster acting. While Mike Korich shines, unfortunately, it's not enough to salvage the sinking ship. The film's poor execution, including laughable special effects like stabbing someone while he is wearing a white T-shirt without a drop of blood, falls flat. Instead of delving deep into the psyche of John Wayne Gacy and exploring the intricacies of his heinous crimes, the film opts for a superficial and shallow approach that leaves much to be desired. Scenes transition clumsily from one to the next, leaving viewers struggling to make sense of the narrative thread, if there even is one. With amateurish cinematography and forced emotions, it fails to engage true crime fans. A generous two stars for Korich's effort, but save yourself the time and disappointment and look elsewhere for your true crime fix and a compelling portrayal of John Wayne Gacy story.
