Bloody murder with no mercy.
5 July 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Based on real life events, but liberal in skirting the facts. Richard F. Speck was born in Illinois, but moved to Texas around the age of six. Growing up in more trouble than not. The acne-pocked high-school dropout was a lifelong criminal and was pleased with himself for living his life the way he wanted. In July 1966, Speck(Corin Nemec)shocked a nation with the brutalized rapes and murders of 9 Chicago student nurses. Methodically beating, raping, stabbing, choking and shooting them to death in one of the horrific atrocities committed in American history. With his death sentence overturned; was set to be in prison for over 400 years, when he died of an enlarged heart in 1991. Five years later, a video tape surfaced that showed Speck in his cell with female breast, the results of smuggled female hormones; doing hard drugs and having sex with his cell-mate. He also spoke explicitly of the murders he committed...with bravado and no remorse. Also in the cast: Andrew Divoff, Joanne Chew, John Eric Bentley, Debby Rochon and Tony Todd.
