Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
willist1 Grossly inaccurate and made for shock value, it could not have been any worse.I have several books on this case, including:(1) one by (former profiler) John Douglas, "Inside the Mind of BTK: The True Story Behind the Thirty-Year Hunt for the Notorious Wichita Serial Killer." Douglas was involved in the case from the 70s, and he knows his subject. His book is the most objective one I have read yet on Dennis Radar.(2) "Bind, Torture, Kill: The Inside Story of BTK, the Serial Killer Next Door" by Roy Wenzl, Tim Potter, Hurst Laviana, and L. Kelly (they were in Wichita, or most of the 4 were, during BTK's reign of terror). It is an odd book, for, imho, the authors seek to "remedy" the opportunities the Wichita PD missed catching the Dog Catcher, Dennis Radar, and they do so by lavishing praise on homicide chief Ken Lendwehr. The truth is BTK would probably still be at large if not for the FBI, imho."The Hunt for the BTK Killer" (2005) is, by far, the most accurate movie on Dennis Radar.
Jay Harris B.T.K.(Bind,Torture, Kill) is supposedly based on a real serial Killer,I never heard of this guy.The movie was written, Directed & Produced by Micheal Fiefer,He has made other serial killer films,I saw part of one of them.I did not like what I saw, so I shut if off..This one however, is not a good film from the very first frame. It is shoddily made, badly acted & written, BUT it had a good deal of humour, which I enjoyed. The killer,is an overweight middle aged family man,with a pretty but hefty wife & 2 daughters, He is also a devout church member, He just has a problem & solves it by killing innocent people (some of who have irked him in doing his job as a compliance officer in this small town). Now to me that was humorous.There are a few gory scenes, but they do go fast. The entire movie goes fast, Running time a quick 85 minutes. I have no way of knowing how true this tale is nor do I care.As I said its a guilty pleasure type of film.Its not a good film by any standard, but I enjoyed it & I think you may as well.Ratings: **1/2 (out of 4) 66 points+ (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10_+ 66 points is very bottom of point,rating & IMDb range
crazyzubr Yeah, it's a semi-pro attempt @ the story, but just seeing all the bad facelifts on the nobody actresses and the way the tension of the story keeps you going (even though you know the ending) is worth it. The lead actor playing Dennis is pretty good, and a decent set of guns on him as well. The way his scars in real life were not covered up was a good idea. Makes you wonder if that was part of the story until you read the bio on the actor. Bad acting is everywhere, but how many people want to be in a movie about a serial killer. Not a date movie that's for sure. I'll never leave my car parked 1/2 way in my driveway blocking the sidewalk after seeing this movie...lol
David Motolo I try not to go off on rants when commenting. After seeing this I can't help but rant. This was such an amateurish attempt to put a spin on the story B.T.K. The real life story of this serial killer is fascinating in a macabre sense. B.T.K. was a media sensation known world wide. Now why would a director try to make a movie based on their half cocked interpretation of what made B.T.K tick? All they had to do was stick with what happened. Once in a while people that make movies get to clever for themselves. I got caught up reading about B.T.K and watching docs on what this killer did. As Rachel Maddow would say try to talk me down. B.T.K. is a movie. In movies it's expected that a director will take a little creative license with facts. B.T.K. went beyond that. What could have been a engrossing movie about a serial killer turned out to be a director playing Freud. This director needs to watch Son of Sam by Spike Lee before making one more movie.
