Pretty Good

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

I am really not sure what writer and director Michael Feifer was trying to do here. I hate to think he was just capitalizing on the publicity surrounding the B.T.K killer, but it seems obvious that he didn't do more than that.Kane Hodder as Dennis Rader was scary. Even when he was doing his day job, he came across as someone you really didn't want to mess with. Pity those that did, as they often wound up as his victims in the evening. When he talked to one young girl about her dog, or another that was lost, you could just see the predator oozing out his pores.Hodder was the only good thing about this movie. He played the evil Rader better than anyone I could imagine. He was the essence of evil.Unfortunately the rest of the move was definitely lacking in the sleaze one would expect of a film about a serial killer. If you are going to do a story about serial killers, a whole lot more realism would be nice.Any discussion of Rader's past or motivations, or anything about the police work that led to his arrest was seriously an afterthought.

Writer/director Michael Feifer offers us a fictional story based on the very real B.T.K. serial killer Dennis Rader. A seemingly mild mannered member of the Lutheran church, Boy Scout master, husband and father of two, Rader(Kane Hodder)is an ordinance enforcement officer of Wichita, Kansas. He relished his job and it helped his ego greatly. I guess every man needs a hobby. This story is supposition of the grisly and horrid murders committed by Rader between 1974 and 1991. B.T.K. meaning bind, torture and kill. The actual killings were graphic and nightmarish...but none of that in this film. Rader thought he was so intelligent, he teased the Wichita Police Department with letters in 2004 that led to his murder conviction in 2005. According to who you talk to, Rader was responsible for 7 to 10 or more slayings.Also starring are: Amy Lyndon, Daniel Bonjour, Caia Coley, Dru Ashcroft and John Burke.

I actually joined this site to warn you not to rent or buy this movie. I usually don't do this, but I love horror movies and enjoy true stories about serial killers. This untalented and amateur director/writer/producer made a terrible movie. This is a true story as we all know. This idiot put in fake stuff, citing reasons such as, "this is what people want to see." What? I wanted to see a true story. Not a story where you made stuff up. There are actually murder scenes in the movie that never happened. I will always look at a movie box before renting, if I see this guys name I will not rent. This was a waste of my time and the $1.00 rental fee. Yes, $1.00 I want back. On the positive side, which is not much. The main actor may be OK in another movie, not this one, which of course is the writer/director's fault. There are also a couple hot looking ladies in this, but I truly had to force myself to finish this movie. It is that bad. Save your money please.

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.
