Trivia
Director Michael Feifer has made it clear that he chose to fictionalize and not make a straight biopic about Dennis Rader, mostly because, at the time of filming, Rader had only recently confessed to his crimes, and Feifer was uncomfortable with portraying Rader's family and the actual deaths of his victims. Actor Kane Hodder adds that it's meant to be a character study.

Goofs
At the 22:13 mark there is a palm tree in the upper right corner of the scene and there's a large mountain directly behind the van. Neither of which would be found in Kansas.

Based on the true story of Dennis Rader the BTK serial killer

First off people should at least use a Google search to find out what the BTK serial killer did and that he did actually exist as our friend from New Zealand failed to do. Yes, the BTK serial killer did exist this is not one of a series of films of made up serial killers from some company named BTK. Dennis Rader avoided detection and held people in fear for many years before being apprehended. He called himself BTK because he would Bind, Torture, and then Kill his victims. He operated in the Wichita, KS area United States. This film is not a blow by blow account of his misdeeds but rather an assumption of many of them blending truths with suppositions. While this film is not going to win awards it is a look into the twisted mind of a serial killer that seems to fascinate while also disgusting the observers. If serial killers are a subject of interest to you then you will find this film worthwhile, if not then you might want to pass.
