90 Minutes of my Life Wasted

This film sucked. I thought it would be a chilling and disturbing portrayal of the horrible massacre of 1966. I was wrong. It was nothing more than a mediocre attempt at poor film making. The story was hard to follow. It would skip from one murder to the police station the next day to Richard Speck arriving in Chicago back to the police station to another murder. The acting was terrible and, truthfully, it wasn't even very disturbing. This film just plain sucked. There's no other way around it. I would rather watch Corin Nemec in "SS Doomtrooper" than watch him in this piece of crap...and "SS Doomtrooper" was friggin' terrible! 1 / 10.
