A dramatized version of the real life interaction between John Gacy and Jason Moss. What starts out as a class project soon becomes an obsession. An interesting portrayal of a horrifyingly messed up killer. There is no attempt made to make Gacy lovable or to humanize him in any way. From the first contact Gacy makes your skin crawl with his smarmy smuttiness. William Forsythe does an outstanding job. There are a few parts where you think 'okay, if the kid is this stupid..' but remember when you were 18? The actual photos and footage at the beginning end of the movie really nail this one together. Even if you aren't a serial killer groupie, this is a better than average cat and mouse style drama. There are some actual forensic photos at the beginning of the movie, just a heads up in case that sort of thing bothers you.
