About this movie

In 1980, John Wayne Gacy (William Forsythe of TV's BOARDWALK EMPIRE) was convicted of the rape and murder of 33 boys and young men – many of whom he buried beneath his suburban Chicago home. Thirteen years later, ambitious criminology student Jason Moss (Jesse Moss of TUCKER AND DALE VS. EVIL) began a bizarre correspondence with the serial killer by posing as a vulnerable gay teen. What followed was a nightmare journey into a world of violence, madness, and sexual depravity that brought home the true horror of Gacy’s crimes. Hailed by Maxim as a "true-life SILENCE OF THE LAMBS," the film is a chilling true story based on the best-seller that detailed an 18-year-old’s terrifying relationship with the most notorious mass murderer in American history.

Ratings and reviews

This is an amazing movie but I know everyone says that the book is better and it kinda of is. Because Jason reached out to other serial killers and got mail from them too. He once told Geraldo (showing my age) that he was followed by some of the Manson family several times after he made correspondence with him. Richard Ramirez send him bloody letters and art work. So dd gacy. Gacy thought this man was gay and he wasn't. He was playing them just to talk to them about their crimes. It gets dark..

I've known the story & seen every Gacy movie but had no idea this even happened! Very good & disturbing must see

It's one hell of a dam God movie. I wish they would make alot more true even movies. this movie is worth every penny.
