John Wayne Gacy was a truly terrifying sociopath. Not that you'd know it from this chaste straight-to-DVD movie that inexplicably shies away from depicting either sex or violence. The young teenage boys that Gacy preyed upon are played by actors in their twenties, diminishing the pedophilic horror of the subsequent seductions. Abductions and killings largely take place off screen, and the rape and sadistic sexual torture that he subjected his victims to isn't even mentioned. It's truly strange that the filmmakers, having chosen to depict such a sadistic human being, should then dilute the story to TV-movie banality. Beyond the complete lack of drama, horror, or suspense, the dialogue is ineptly written, the pacing slow, the performances patchy, and the music of the cheapest synthetic orchestral variety. The whole juvenile endeavor kind off begs the question, Why did they bother?
